Lift or no lift?

[sbubbaklein]

how about a border patrol look or prerunner. Slight lift with nice prerunner tube bumper out front with a few lights, off with the side steps and loose any lower plastic under the bumper.

Another option, which I'm going to do is to do an SAS conversion. That is, removing the front IFS and installing a solid axle in front. There's obviously a lot more to it then that, but it's something to think about.

There is a ton more cost involved in that than many realize.

6" lift with 35s looks killer on the 2doors... Looks amazing on anything pretty much but especially the 2 doors.

This is a 6.5" DC lift set around 8" (red tahoe)
This is a 6" RCX lift set around 5.5" (blue suburban)

Both trucks are on 35x12.5 tires and 17" wheels (9"wide)

Bowtie can u help me understand your lift kit difference? With the cepek lift did u crank the t bars 1.5" to attain the 8"? If I install an RCX lift 6" can I crank bars 2" and get same look?

the cepek lift ( dont make it anymore ) is a true 6" lift with no crank

the RCX kit will only get you 4" without crank. to get to the full 6" u will haft to crank it up

Lol...then how can they sell it as a 6" lift? Isn't that a marketing gimmick? Seems kinda like trickery to me...maybe I just don't know much about lifts and I'm not trying to say anything bad about the company...but...hmm..anyone want to buy a 2" lift... I send u box with instructions on how to crank your bars..are there any other 'true' 6" lifts?

The RCX kit drops the differential 5.125" and then crank to 6" or de-crank for the 4".

The cepek is a 6.5" differential drop and then go up or down from there. I went up that extra 1.5" and the CVs do not look too bad.

If I was looking around right now I would still most likely end up with the Rough Country. It has been a great lift so far. It's been about 4.5 years it has been on there. My cepek has been 8 years and I love it too.

Ahh, I get it now, yeah I went looking for the cepek and ran into the road block of it being discontinued...can the RCX be cranked past the 6" mark with out putting a lot of extra stress on it? The RCX was originally my first choice, I just really like the way your two door looks at 8". I have 33x12x15.5 with a wide off set now so that 6" won't look bad...but will eventually upgrade to 35"...just don't want to make the investment without enough research... Can you recommend any upgrades to get from RCX for the 95' two door? Steering stabilizer or upgraded shocks...wanna do it right the first time..thx
