What did they use to reach a 6 inch lift before they started using the preload spacer? Just a bigger strut spacer on top? Any help would be great

Yup, I'm pretty sure. Have they changed? The preload should just allow for a little bit of additional lift in order to level.

Everyone hate on Rcx about quality but the only part I hate is the coil spacer and I'm quite sure my truck has seen way more abuse then DUDES truck has and I still get complements on the ride

They use the same strut spacer as the 4 inch kit now and send you a preload spacer to get closer to 6 inches but now my bilstin struts are useless and can give me no more lift

I think most people ditch the preload spacer and run Bils @ 2.1. So now your preload spacers are useless.

Just throwing it out there, but BDS sells the separate components of their lifts whereas most others don't. Part # on their 6" strut spacer is 01267B, if all else fails.
