Can't decide between a 4" or 6" RCX lift on my 2009.6" with 35's seems a bit too high for me right now.Is it possible ,if after awhile with the 4" I decide I should have gone with the 6" could I install Bilsteins up front and new coils in the back to get that extra 2"? From what I've read the 4" RCX uses coil spacers in the rear so if I replaced those and ran Bilsteins seems like it should work.Any info would be great.

6" with 35s is gonna look good!

youd spend more time and money going with the 4" then upgrading to the 6", its not worth it man. trust us bro, a lot of people will say the same!

I think a 6" lift and 35" tires is a great looking combo... and it gives you the option to go with a 37" tire easily should you choose down the road... check out the Lifted Trucks Picture thread... there are some absolutely beautiful looking lifted trucks on this site and 6" seems to be the most popular choice...

6" all the way! I can say I've heard many guys wish they had gone with the 6" when they got the 4" instead. I've never heard anyone say, man I wish my truck was smaller. The cost difference between kits is only $100 and you'll spend 3 times that getting bilsteins, spacers and an extra alignment down the road....35s will look good and like Selcher said, you can always move up to 37s if you want too. Good luck!

These trucks start out small. Go 6"

I've got 11.1" on paper and still think its too small. My 11.1" and 37s is just a tad taller than my buddies f250 with a 6" and 37s.

Most people wouldn't even know it's lifted unless I told them.
