I know you are very good with suspension mma, but the kit at the bottom of the same link I put up has upgrades to the 9000 shocks, and your choice of single or double steering stabilizers too. I don't know about the 2500's but quite a few guys on here are running the RC lifts and love them to death. I went with them for the level because they offered actual lifted coils instead of the spacers, and I'm pretty happy with my coil/shock setup myself. Again, just my opinion. I coulda paid 50 bucks for a plastic spacer that some guys run and have no problems with, but I wanted the lifted coil. I've heard about those spacers "settling" and not getting your full 2" out of 'em.

thats the exact kit. it is a BASIC SIMPLE 5 inch lift, its not no rize lift or a extreme offroad kit.. ramhunter- with my kit i could choose 3 inch or 4 inch block, i have both because they sent me 3inch when i wanted 4inch blocks. i also have the dual steering stabilizer that they offer.

cowboy, you deffinatly made the right decission by going with the coils!! back when i had my 1/2 ton i ran 2.5" spacers on the coils, ya it looked good but didnt ride too well...its by far the best thing to do, and if i knew what i know now...i wouldnt have even looked at spacers.....my rize isnt all that hytec either...its more a steering system which i like and a bunch of drop brackets, which is why im going with spirson very very soon!

craig- do you have your rough country installed? and if so how do you like it?

Thanks mmstar, I've been around long enough to know that you get what you pay for. I did it myself in my garage with a jack and a bfh. I'm pretty good with mechanics having never been to school. I learned from experiece. nice truck btw.

thank you. i worked in a shop about a year ago now and learned some in there but learned most just by doing it. i guess im one of the lucky ones that it just seems to come to me and can understand it all pretty easily as it sounds you are the same way. i built my truck all myself too with the asistance of my uncles garage who let me use his lift, simply because my jacks would not jack this b!tch high enough to put on my lift
