    Why is the rear end up so high and where is your traffic cone?

    Great work, KRT. That truck would look good with some running boards.

    Them rims need a rattle can of flat black... Running boards are for old dudes that can't get in the truck they lifted.

    I'm assuming that the RCX kit? How are the angles? I know they had a problem with that kit several years ago but I'm sure they've improved it since.

    Yes it's a Rough country lift. The front differential drop brackets put the angles damn near stock. I've seen leveling kits with worse angles. I personally like Zone lifts but I do what the customers coin allows. I will admit, Rough Country has come a long way.

    It would look better if it was a ford, but I guess you did the best you could with what you had to work with

    Nice. Lifts look so much better with stock rims.

    Looks good. He even has the same Z71stickers I have. looks identical to my truck. I took my factory wheels and had them powder coated flat black. I have the same lift as well.

    Truck looks good. But Why go with the 2 different lifts instead of a 6" lift?

    It comes as a combo kit although like you said it's technically 2 different lifts. But to answer your question just because I'm a cheap ass. I've only got 650 in it as is vs more than twice that if I did a bigger suspension lift.

    Price and a 6 inch requires cutting and these do not.
