Lifting

[Donnie Yukonie]

I called them and they only offer the one lift. It's a 5 inch drop and you crank to 6. I don't have a problem cranking to 6 I just wanted to know if there was a full 6 inch drop left out there.

I'm also reading that the rcx has a lot of cutting involved? How much cutting was involved with your superlift don?

About the Same , You have to realize (last time i checked) Most Lifts still Available for the OBS models are all Bracket style . I think There still a few Knuckle lifts out there but I can't remember which ones now . But The concept of how they are lifted remains about the same . All the cutting still has to be done . I had my lift bolted , Aligned and then Welded in place . Superlift Leaves it to your discretion to do so but Ive heard that after some time Just bolting it could lead to them "creaking" when the truck flexes over rough terrain

Isn't the BDS a full 6" without cranking? http://bds-suspension.com/product?ma=5&mo=9&ty=1&yr=1992-1998

Hey you get what you pay for with a lift. Just wait until you start looking at nice coilover kits for newer trucks

Go with the RCX. The kits is nice, low cost, easily fits 35s. I run it on my suburban. Been very happy with it. I also run the Cepek kit on my tahoe...the RCX is not a bad kit to be honest. The crank is very minimal, mine is basically set around what the factory bars were set to with no problems clearing.

With the addition of the pieces that are required to go along with the rcx for a tahoe the rcx is actually just a very small amount less than the superlift with blistiens. I think when I do get my lift in a few months I'm going with superlift.

My rough country kit was $999. Included everything required for my suburban (shocks, longer brakes lines, the whole deal)

On their website it says you require an extended sway bar and a new cross member bracket. That's an extra 140. The superlift is 1050 and it comes with that as far as I can tell. And for 1250 you can get blistiens with it.

For some reason, the suburban and the two door tahoe & yukons don't require the torsion bar crossmember like the four door models.

I don't know if you noticed but if you have an autotrac transfer case then you also have to buy the front driveshaft from them it's like $400 extra which I why I decided not to put a suspenion lift kit in my '98 four door.

The $979 4" kit was going to cost me $1700+ for my truck

I have a floor shifter so that doesn't bother me

Do you guys I think that the blistiens that come with the Superlift are worth the extra money?
