RCX 6" Lift on 35x12.5R20 MT Baja ATZ P3s. No issues with ride quality, love the height, but will be adding Bilsteins at some point to get it more level (personal preference). Seems that the RCX lifts don't seem to actually level anyone's trucks as I have seen quite a few threads on the subject.

Can't compare mileage from stock really as I don't think I ever had any stability prior to the lift, between buying it, adding the tuner and lifting it. I can say I get 15mpg (or more, depending on my driving style) with the lift and 35s and the Bully Dog tuner. I have 3.55 gears. I could feel the difference when I lifted it, but can still get on it... I smoked a silverado the other day!

6" RCX, maxed bilsteins, 1.5" rear coil spacers on top of the RCX coil springs. After 2 years and 33,000 miles still rides great.

I went with BDS 5.5 and because I stayed under 6inchs I kept my warranty on the truck

go rcx or bds hands down. I had a 6 inch rcx lift on my last truck, I drove it like I ******* stole it, seriously.. I would pre runn the **** out of it down dirt roads at 80 and crawl, and climb. I could not believe I didn't brake it. then one day, I busted both half shafts, ripped my front diff/axel tube in 3. different place" like 3-6 inch tears". I really torqued the **** out of the front end, the only rough country part I broke was a axel spacer, I called rough country and they sent me all the replacemt parts I needed free of charge, and no Hasle.

I went Fabtech after finding no local places wanted to install the Rough Country. Positive with Fabtech is the replacement springs in the rear as opposed to a spacer. But most on here love the RCX.

Any body know about the Icon suspension kits? Specifically the stage 4 kit? Is it a waste of money or a good idea? They look pretty sweet and I want to do a pre runner set up on my '14 1500. Or should I just go 4 inch rough country and match up some Foxes with it since I'll be DDing it?

The icon upper arms are super beefy and use uniballs instead of ball jionts

Ladder? It's probably easier to repel down from a helicopter. Lol I'd love a bigger lift but climbing in with my bad back just isn't cost effective for me. My 6 on 35's is enough. The truck looks hot though, I'm not going to lie...

That's what I'm wearing. A 6" Pro Comp lift and ES9000's shocks with Pro Comp dual steering stabilizer shocks.

That's what the service department at my dealership told me as long as its under 6inchs it doesn't void the warranty.

I'm not a lawyer but I don't think they can void warranty on an entire vehicle because you lifted your truck. I beleive they have to associate the mod with what they aren't going to cover. If your suspension fell apart or your tires wear prematurely it wouldn't be covered because there is a direct connection to what you modified but if your muffler decided to fall off you should still be covered.
