2wd RCD suspension questions
 
well i was seriously thinking of getting the 6in rcd suspension for my 2000 2wd 3.0l and every other lift ive seen with a 3in spindle and 3in coil combination usualy needs upper control arms an ball joints but the description never said anything about new UPPER A ARMS its realy got me a bit lost...... someone explain to me what in the heck

im not sure, but i think upper control arms = upper A arms. Same part just different names.

YA I KNOW THAT.... the point is their lift doesnt have them in any of the listed parts... and i am very lost because im not sure what to think of this or is it even worth ordering any other ideas anyone?

from what ive seen, its a drop down bracket lift.. factory upper control arm.

do ya have an edge or xl/xlt?

xlt can you get ahold of any serious detail pics of the suspension on a 2wd they got a 4wd suspension pic on rcd site but none of the 2wd sorta yanks my chain a bit cuz its like a teaser i serious wana know what in the hell did they do to work that crap out anyone else got ideas on what they did!?!?!?

The only thing in the picture that I don't recognize are the things with the circles in them. Are those new coil buckets?

ya i believe thats exactly what they are because i called rcd cuz i figured if anyone could answer the horrid question it would be them they said that extended UPPER A ARMS wernt as easy to align and the replacement coil buckets made it simpler and you would less likely knock your front end outta align

any one got any comments about this?

I don't know how that keeps the upper balljoint from binding unless their spindle is physically longer than the stock one, in which case it would change the entire front suspension geometry

actually after I looked at the picture again, It looks as if the top of the spindle is angled to keep the balljoint from binding
