I am currently running the CST spindle lift 4in with the RC 3in coil but I know like Derek is running the maxtrax 4.5in spindle with build in wheel extenders. And I have a 4in block in the back to level mine out.

I am just looking to get it higher so whatever i can put to make it taller the better lol. just right now i cant afford the 6 inch lift. balling on a budget over here lol. maybe a few months down the line or a year I can put a PA body lift on it. they are going to install the kit with the block on the back and keep my 2 inch level in the front. so I am going to need that block in the back so the front doesn't look so high compared to the back.

what are the spindles for? do i need them? the rough country kit doesn't come with it and they didn't tell me anything about it when i got the kit from the place i am getting it installed. why does yours look a little higher than olbluram if its the same kit?



The spindles, as sitting on the truck, lower the mounting holes for the hub/bearing assembly so it is basically closer to the ground which raises your truck. With spindles you do not need longer shocks like with a leveling kit or other lifts. An alignment will be needed though. Mine was ridiculously toed in after my install and the new tie rod ends were installed in the exact place of the originals. 8e7428c79d12586060439c1d2b00074d.jpg

No pics? Bummer, I was looking at the same kit for my 2005 1500 RCSB. Bummer, After seeing the taller lifts I am starting to lean towards getting the 3" lift and spindles down the line, goodbye savings!

RC 3" lift

I just installed the 3" lift on my truck this month. It was lowered 2" in the front and 4" in the back so I had a lot of work to do. This is my 2nd 3" RC lift I have purchased (one on my other dodge) and I have been happy with them. Can't beat it for $300. And it's not difficult to install
