One of the reasons there's 'hate' towards the rcd kit. I like the kit. Yea it sucks that you bought the most expensive lift for a ranger and your still have to mess with it, espicially if you have a 03+, you gotta downgrade to the smaller '02 and older rotors. And those light weight coils. It sucks...but gotta pay to play right? $2k is a really good deal on the kit.

I hear ya. My mom has said the same things to me. I've put a good chunk of change into the truck and she thinks I'm a total retard for doing it.

But I don't plan on losing it. I would fight a repo man or whoever to the death. lol

Fx4wannabe01 10-06-2008 03:04 PM

superlift wants you to stack blocks.....

idk? they didn't have clearence issues with the bumps, so idk. his truck still has those jacking points still there.

jaycheetwood 10-06-2008 03:11 PM

Oh is stacking blocks a bad idea?

Now what is i keep my stock fx4 ones and then go with the front coil over conversion with the drop brackets and from superlift and the coil conversion peices from RCD?

04blackedge 10-06-2008 03:13 PM

Yeah it can cause some major axle hop problems and even worse. You can get Skyjacker lift leaves or a AAL and shackle.

jaycheetwood 10-06-2008 03:14 PM

i think one side of my axle is kinda leaning.. what do i do? like the block looks like its leaning slightly one way...

Me personally, i went with a short aal, beltech 6400 shackle, and stock 2.5" block, don't like stacking blocks. BUT alot of people do it, as it's what comes with the kit. My buddy's '98 is block stacked w/o much wheelhop and he's a manual trans now.


would look something like this...

but this is with the bodylift and 35's....stock rear w/ stock 2.5" and superlift front...

Fx4wannabe01 10-07-2008 09:59 AM

nice..thanks for giving me sonic blue ballz with them aal's dude. lol.


Do you have the smaller rotors yet? I happen to have a set just sitting in boxes in my shop...they got about 70k on them, and probably need a resurfacing. Shipping would suck on them though. lol.

No, I haven't gotten new rotors yet. I'm thinking of going with stoptechs but not sure yet. Kinda searching around to find out the best/good rotors and pads.
