said earlier that better shocks would be best but since i replaced the bad shock this thing rides just as good as stock if not better! surprised that on shock ruin whole ride quality.. But so far i like the kit no complaints.

What is the max on a lift for the 2500 or mega cab before having to change other parts? i was wondering if this 5 inch kit could get another 2 inch up front and 2 to 3 inch lift leaf springs in the rear?

Hey CRAIG02RAM,
I just bought the 5" RC lift for my 06 MC and in the process also bought the RC carrier bearing drop kit since mine is a 2 piece drive shaft. Just wondering if yours was the same, and if so did you shim it down? Also wondering how you like the Steering stabilizer, thinking about ordering one!
Your Truck looks awesome by the way, can only hope i get similar results!

My driveshaft is a single shaft, it's stock as far as I know. I like the steering stabilizer, the paint or powder coat is shabby needs recoated. Thanks for comments, don't be affraid to red loctite bolts. My track bar bolt came loose. Also make shure the sleeve for drop track bar bolt is correct length inside the bracket, mine that came with kit was to small.

So i got the 5" RC lift on now, had it professionally put on, they said they ran into a few issues with rusty seized bolts but other than that things went pretty smooth! I have the 3" block installed in the rear which kinda gives it a little higher stance in the front. Ill probably end up throwing in some 4" blocks eventually and maybe upgrading shocks, but other than that she rides top notch so far! Now im browsing from some 18 or 20 inch rims with 35's! Heres a pic or 2 i snapped with my phone earlier, with the stock 17's and 285's!

Looks real good! I have the r.c 4" rear block and it leveled out perfect. Looks good, any performance mods?
