Thanks Nick. My only reason for considering the 4 in lift was because I was thinking I would more proportional with a 34 in tires. But I’m definitely going with 6 inch lift. I keep reading that the RC lift kit isn’t recommended from many, mainly do to the low quality shocks. My truck is basically a pavement queen, no off road.
will definitely contact you before ordering. Thanks again


RC lift isnt good for more reasons than just shocks. Zone is the way to go! If it is a pavement queen then I would do the Fox adventure series option for the rear as they are much better than the nitro shocks they offer with the lift and then go with a better 2.0 shock up front. We have better options but they will be much more expensive and if you are not going off road then it will be overkill unless you want overkill. As mentioned we could do full length coilovers for the front or we could offer the Fabtech 6" kit with Dirt Logic coil overs all around!

I have a 2020 Classic 2WD and went with the Maxtrac 4.5" lift on 35"x12.5 tires with-26 offset rims

The shop is doing it this week

Me personally I like the 4" lift on 35" tires over the 6" on 35's
I don't like 33" tires on either, they belong on leveled trucks

Its. A personal preference

Fyi I just installed AMP Research running boards with the 2" extension for lifted trucks for ease of getting in and out

I'm also in the process of looking at lifts. Nick has been very helpful so far answering my volley of questions. With regards to 6112s, good luck finding these anytime soon. I was leaning the same way but now having to rethink the fox setup.
You will not be disappointed and Nick can make a great deal if purchasing all together. He got my fox/bds 2.5’s for me

View attachment 232259 View attachment 232260 View attachment 232261 View attachment 232262 So I’m ready to take the plunge on getting the 6 inch lift kit for my 2010 ram laremie 1500 4x4 crew cab
I’ve been debating between the 4 inch and the 6 inch lift, been looking at a lot of pictures, I’m leaning on the 6 inch lift, I have 20x 10 wheels now, with 285/60/ 20 tires, belstine 5100 set at 2.1, rides perfect for me.
My question is , if I get the 6 inch lift, and I don’t get the pre load spacer installed, will it be a 5 inch lift? Can it be installed without the pre load spacer? Here are a couple pictures the way it seats now!!
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Yes I’ve been de chroming for a while lol

ya u should be able to leave them out for a bit lower but then the rear may not match. I have a 6” zone and used spacer. Perfect level and rides very nice. Also on stock shocks.... plan to switch soon tho
