Lift kit help

Lift kit, that work with the dropped crossmember.

2WD kits can use spindles/ knuckles for lift, like like lowering kits do at times, to move the mounting point for wheels. If you look at the Maxtrac kits

gotcha thanks. hmmm well most people on here seem to think the 4WD coilovers will work... now i just need to make the decision on whether or not im willing to risk the money. Would be an absolute killer if there was a problem with the install.

Like I said only issue I could POSSIBLY see, would be if they can't be adjusted down if they do sit 1" higher. I would make that call to RC about that. Just ask if you want the front slightly lower, can they be adjusted down slightly, like no more then an inch.

I do believe the last guy i talked to at RC today mentioned something about being able to lower them because he said he'd throw in a "vertex coilover adjusting wrench" to do that with if i did decide to repurchase the 4WD Coilovers....

Also the other thing I'm not 100% sure, with 4WD you need to cut the OEM crossmember for clearance of the front Diff. The 2WD you might not need to cut the OEM crossmember. The installer should know that when they match up the new crossmember. I'm not sure if you are aware of that?

To be honest i'm so new to this world i really am not familiar with most of these parts. Id think that since they don't have to cut it that would be better no? So the installer when matching up the crossmember would know if the coilovers would work or not? I almost need a script from you on things to ask the installer or Rough Country cause i'm a bit in over my head. I wish i knew all of this better but this is my first truck that i'll be lifting.

Is that a quality company/lift kit? I'm not positive on which brands to want and which to stay away from. If so that will work and i'll just return the RC lift kit too.

 

[CHeYeNNe71]

Yes. I'm running their reverse level coils right now and I know many with 4th Gen 2WD ran their kits. Plus Fox is a good company. Easier install as well.

gotcha that is great to know... i'll continue to check out about the RC Vertex coils with some shops around.

About that MaxTrac lift... is that a 4 inch lift? the way it reads on its description is odd.

 

[CHeYeNNe71]

It says 7" Front 4" rear.

itll be level after that?? i know the front sits lower than rear when stock but that much?

 

[CHeYeNNe71]

I'm not sure how it will sit. Might be level, or a slight rake. You could always reach out to Maxtrac and ask them, or see if you can find anyone on here that has installed it.

I did a quick search and there are youtube reviews bout it. Might be 4th Gen, but will give you feedback

Ya I found that they sell 1.5inch coil spacers for the back end that level the whole thing out. Thank you so much for helping me out with this stuff. I think i'll unfortunately just return the RC lift and purchase the package that MaxTrac has so i can have the peace of mind that it will work on my truck no doubt.
