What lift are you 4x4 guys running?
Believe me, went on many a fishing/hunting trip with the guy and when they say "A whopping 10 inches of front wheel travel out of a straight axle with a 43% increase in articulation along with a superior highway ride" They are not kidding, best ride on and off road I've ever experienced in a lifted truck, and I've had lifted trucks since I was 16!!!
I especially love this quote: Cepeks oversized steering system components make the factory 3/4 ton parts look like tinker toys!
Looking at the prices, it actually looks like the Cepek kit is cheaper than the RCD...

Thanks for the replies, that Dick Cepek kit does look nice. The RCD kit reuses the upper factory control arm , which I did not like. I am very partial to the long arm kit and the price seems right. To bad they don't have a 4 link kit for the rear as well.
I am coming back to dodge after a 4 year trip down Wrangler lane, missed having a V8 and being able to tow. I had a 1500 2wd that I had set up for desert, but enjoy 4x'in the trails more that blasting the desert

Mine is a 4.5" Tuff Country. You can see my 36'ers in the pic in my sig. The dude I bought it from had some 37 super swampers on a diff set of wheels I have laying out back. Both seem to have miles of clearance, but unfortunately I have no idea what the backspacing is.
I could check for you though if someone tells me how to check backspacing.

The aluminum rims laying outback have 4" backspace, width unknown, tires: super swamper radial TSL 37X12.5R16LT
the steelies on the truck have unknown offset (sorry I couldn't reach in there since they are mounted) unkown width, tires parnelli jones dirt grip, 36X14.5R16LT

if i remember right a stock 1500 is 2 inches shorter than a stock 2500
mine has a 2 inch spacer and AAL, and sits basically level with my neighbor's stock 2500, but i have 265 tires, but i think his are taller than factory as well

Thanks for measuring that, much appreciated.
