Got my 2022 Classic RCSB lifted recently.

- 6" Zone kit with 5" rear springs and Fox shocks. Originally had the 3" rear springs but it ended up being way nose high with the coilovers.
- Fox Factory Race Series 2.5 DSC Coilovers on the front that I think are giving me 8" of lift, may eventually get it adjusted down an inch some day. The angle of the front CVs worry me a little.
- Core 4x4 Front upper control arms in blue with the FK rod ends.
- Core 4x4 tier 3 adjustable rear control arms and trackbar in blue.
- Powerstop Z36 brakes/rotors front and rear.
- Method MR701 17x9 -12 wheels with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 37x12.50 tires.
- Full size spare strapped down in the bed with stock spare removed.
- Got the tire size calibrated with AlfaOBD.

Got some concerning noise on the highway which I'm fairly postive is the rear driveshaft due to the angle. Eventually I will see if I can get a custom shaft made and/or have the rear control arms adjusted. Luckily this isn't my daily driver. Thanks to @Nick@GotExhaust for helping me with the parts!

Awesome job. Stance looks just right :waytogo:

1st Core UCA I’ve seen installed. I like :waytogo:

Report back on what your thoughts on them are when you can. I’d be interested to hear.

One thing I would add, is a permanent spare tie down in the bed. The straps will keep it from sliding around mostly, but that’s one heavy cannon ball should it go flying.

Sweet rig man. Youve got a nice list of mods there. Ive always loved regular cab short boxes!

A little nose high for my tastes though! Id drop those fox shocks down and inch or so personally.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have that done eventually. Was hoping the front end would settle lol. An inch lower would probably be perfect.

I have the same truck/ color in 2wd. I am planning on going the other way and lowering it 2 inches in the front and 4 inches in the back with 22s tires/rims. It’s cool to see my truck on steroids. Nice job!
