Holy shit bro, that sux. I was intrested in that kit, but was also looking at a fab tech kit. Since you said u was at your shop I assume its not your first time turning wrenches....Good luck and I'd like to know what u think of the kit once it's finished

I didn't think the RCX kit was that bad....my Cepek was another story. Many people agree the RCX is rather easy.

It trally wasnt "that" bad just nit as straight through like they said.. And the instructions wernt that great for certain things.. The whole flipping the swaybar thing would have been great to know before the crossmembers were on. I just think that the 10 hours they say it will take is obserd... I had ti have it out of the ahop in a weekend.. I did it but killed myself doing so... I highly recomend people giving them selves plenty of time to do this lift.. I come from a lowered car/truck backround, this was my first real lift. All I can say is low is for ******.. Raising shit up the right way is for real men. I know this now... Geez

This is one of my other rides.. And the truck before lift. Im no stanger to suspensions just not this involved.. Even bags a cnotches was easier then this in my eyes.. Thanx for looking!

the lead time they give if with all the right ools and so on.

A realistic time frame is a weekend for the driveway builders.

I also had a mini truck back in the day and then now to the two lifted trucks. Bigger is better/
