Rcd Q
i have been reading through all the RCD write ups, and now its time to show em all to the rents and try and get it as a graduation present..
anyways, im in a suspension class at Austin Community College, the classes ar dirt cheap since im still in High school. and my teacher said we could install a suspension lift in class, and it would be cool...
so heres my question, to everyone that has done one, how long does it take? i will have access to a full tool room with virtually any tool i need, air tools, welders, torches, u name it..
im in the class for 5 hrs once a week.. and im willing to leave my truck there if i have to...
Thanks

If you work a reg work schedule, do it on friday after you get out of work, saturday all day, and wheel it sunday.
Edit: FWIW, 2 people is enough for a lift.

Yea, I mean, i've done a couple little things that took way longer than expected, then a bl with no air tools in 8hrs...
My spindles took 12 hrs from start to finsih, thats including the trips to stores, food, etc. Work time was probably 6-7hrs.
Also, AAL was crazy, took mine 30 mins, and kevin(kevoo) about 5hrs...
Bottom line, leave yourself enough room. Don't rush. Use the right tools, or don't do it!!! Thats my new motto, tools are everything!!!

If you can get two people on the front and one person on the rear, all working with air tools, and all knowing what they're doing, you could probably get it done in 5 hrs. My superlift probably took me a total of 12 hrs. to install, but I was working by myself with no real knowlege of the suspension, and with hand tools. Sometimes I'd spend 20 minutes trying to break a single bolt loose!

welllllll......to be honest with you i dont think the RCD will fit on your truck.....because the RCD was designed for the "live" axle front ends on the 2000 or 2001 + Rangers.....your truck has the Pulse Vaccum Hubs.......the only 2 suspension lifts on the market for your truck is Superlift and TrailMaster.......
unless you plan on repacing your whole front end....it wont work...
