I realize you're after a RCX lift, but for a side by side comparison, here's mine. Your RCX lift would sit about .5" taller in the front than my PC lift.

Should give you a pretty good idea though.

With just 6" lift and 35s

With 6" lift, Bilsteins and 37s

I'd do 37s first time if I was lifting now.

Thanks For The Pics! Exactly What I Was Looking For, Now I Just Have To Decide ... I May Do The First Set With 35's To Keep The Cost A Bit Lower & Do 37's When I Need To ReTread.

Well that's what I thought too. I already had the 35s before the lift, lift went on, and 2 months later I was selling my 35s with less than 4k on them....the cost 35s vs. 37s won't be that much different. I'm just trying to save you from spending money on 35s and not being happy with them. Keep in mind an RCX lift will be a hair bigger than mine was too.

I wanna do 37's but I want gear options first for the 12's then I will I wanna do some 18's with 35's though and think I will just go 6" and call it day rather then a 4". Awesome pics, and that isn't a bad option gunmetal going 35's then to 37's either way you will be happy and look awesome, what rims are you thinking about?

Guys use those to level up the front. When I didn't have a lift I had a 3" rake. After I was done with getting my lift on I had about a 2" inch rake. Those Billseins 5100's have adjustable settings on them to help get the rake out.

I like ride quality as well out of the Bilstein's and as far as Cooper STT's I love them I've had them on two other vehicles even at 40,000miles they looked like didn't wear any and they are very quite, ummm just about the same as toyo open country m/t but a little cheaper. I recommend them

Just do the 6" :licklips:

Fender height with 35's will be approx 42-42.5" up front on a 6" lift
41" for a 4" lift

That'd using a stock height of 36.5" up front

Let me clarify a few of these pics.

First 2 pics - He has the 6/3 Zone kit. If he ran the 5" rear, I probably doubt you would like it let alone him and he would have gone with Bilsteins due to the rake

Jake's pics - Im sure he will chime shortly.
His truck NOW is MUCH bigger now and bigger than many 6" lifts, I think he is equivalent to a 6" lift.
I know he is bigger than mine by 1-1.5"

Either way. I say do the 6" and you will be happy. You have more to grow (if you choose) but it still looks great.
The 4" to me looks like a leveling kit to be honest. But that is just my opinion.

i can't decide :argue:

this is harder than school work, lol. but i'm over 40 now in the front with 35's and bilsteins, but if i got to 41 with the 4" and set my shocks at 2.1", i'd be up 6" in front and how tall are the rear spacers in the 4" RC kit? 6/3 looks perfect i think
