lift upgrade

[mudjunky]

Do any one have any experience takinga 4 inch rcx lift and making it into a 6 inch I was told my rcx and 4 wheel parts that you only need to replace a few parts aprox 300 dollar bill plus shipping for everything
just curious if any one has done it because from my research the cross member and many other parts from the 6 inch are the exact same as the 4 inch

Your best bet is to call/email RCX and ask, they can tell you exactly what part# you'll need to upgrade.

I was mostly curious on the work load involved I have a parts list

add a leveling kit and a rear spacer?? then a 3 inch body lift and make it a beast!

The only real difference in the 6 inch kit and 4 inch kit in the front are your 2 front spindles and the spacer on top of the strut assmbly.

In the rear depends on the RCX kit you have. If you have fixed upper control arms, you need new ones, if you have the adjustable ones they just need to be adjusted. The rear springs also need to be changed in the rear.

I kinda like white beautyidee of adding a leveling kit but not shure im a fan of putting spacer bolt to a spacer bolted to strut assembly but I guess could always try it and if its **** sell it to one of my ram buddy but for the average price of a leveling kit for and extra couple hundred I can have all ruff country parts and not void either the ruff country warrenty or the dodge gotta wait to do all this any way Moncton Chrysler super store is buying me a new set of tires cuz they failed to properly align the truck after there lift kit specialise installed the rcx kit and it chewed 10/32 of my tires since I got the truck with is only 9000 km ago

This is the route I'm looking to go. Bilstein 5100's up front with 1" spacer in the rear, then 3" BL. Moving up to 35" wheels and black rims. I have to get through Christmas before I can start this though. Can't wait!

I wouldn't stack spacers. Do what Cruizer said, use a set of Bilstein 5100s to raise the front and then compensate the rear with a set of coil spacers, depending on the rake you want to have.

I agree.

 

[Cruizer]

Anyone run at 2.8 with a 1.5" rear spacer? I'd like to see how that looks. I'd like to keep some rake and prevent squatting when hauling anything in the bed or a light trailer.

 

[Thor09]

I do but on top of a 6" rcx lift

 

[Cruizer]

I wish I could afford a 6" lift. Did you install it all at the same time or was there anytime you had only the Bilstein and rear spacer on?

 

[Thor09]

No unfortunately. I had the bilsteins maxed, then installed the 6" lift with 3/4" rear spacers. I was too high in the front so I removed the 3/4" spacers and put in 1.5".

 

[Cruizer]

I was thinking 1" but now I'm considering 1.5" or 1.75". I'm going to install a 3" BL around the same time. Also going up to a 35" tire. Can't wait to get it done though, I have lift my truck fever now, lol.

 

[Thor09]

Haha the fever will drive you nuts!

I'd do it to if someone had a 6" RCX lift for me, lol.

Now I'm considering holding off on new rims and the BL and going for the 6" RCX with Bisteins and rear spacer.

 

[mudjunky]

I think im gonna get the parts for the front and rear to get it to a 6 inch but ad some spacers in the back and do a set of adjustable shocks up front at max set that should be almost 9 inchs technicaly then do a 3 inch body lift then il be happy with my short man syndrome hahahahaha

so if any one was curious heres the part numbers you need to turn you 4 inch into a 6 inch for 300 bucks
part 1329 box 3
and part 2322 which are some rear coils

my parts order list which will be getting done next month will be
pa 3 inch bl
part 1329 box 3 (rear track bar braket ,front spacers,lower rear control arms)
part 2322 (rear coils)
bilstein 5100 shocks
2.5 inch spacers out back
1.5 wheel spacers

 

[mudjunky]

I wonder how long of a shock im gonna need for that back any sugestions
also I may do suspension first and se how crazy high it is before I venture 3 inch higher and make the truck imposible to get in being 5 foot 6 hahahaha
