do i hate the RCD kit, no ... would i install it on a truck if i owned a truck to install it on.. probably not..have i seen ridden and driven and helped installed superlifts yep... do i think its better then RCD nope... would i install on my own personal vehicle if i could... it probably not unless i got a killer deal.. just IMO we all have preference so i voiced my opinions on both who freaking cares obviously Scott feels offended, does that bother me NOPE.. cause why should he even care not like its staying no much longer he keeps saying he is sasing...

Nope they're at the "minimum setting", I guess you'd say. Me and Ben (Ranger1) tryed to torque em up but there was just too much pressure from the coils. Even with the front end on jack stands. I need to rent a coil compressor before I can adjust them. That was on the to-do list before 'you-know-what' happened. Thanks for reminding me! I'll have to get on that this week.
Lemme get some comparison pics up. I got one from the previous owner when the kit was just installed.
Just installed....
Currently....(closest angle I have)
Actually, it's not much of a difference. It's just that the coils are at the lowest point on the threads.

the RCD is just superior and the price reflects that. i like the extra effort they took to make the cross member all one piece.
i have drove my truck hard and it handled fine, and i have the superlift kit now. i love it too.

HERES THE RCD LINK FOR $1971 which is where I'll be buying my kit from if I can not come across a good deal on a used SuperLift or RCD kit by the time I'm ready.

and the biggest size tire you can run with the RCD and a 3" body lift is a 35x12.50 with NO trimming......if you want to get glass front fenters, or do a little trimming, then you can go with 36" tires....
