The pic's dont do it justice. Its as tall as my dads yukon, and definately taller than alot of vehicles that i've passed today in my travel. It feels more.....manly now. haha

P.S. Need idler arm, pitman arm, lower ball joints, front brakes and a rh- CV axle. All getting done next week after I get back from hunting.

Compared to my other shackles that I was going to use in the first place, the RCX shackles are longer and thicker. <---lol!

I spy Cooper Discoverer STT's..... How do you like them so far? Mine are great but i seem to have some "tire pull" from the one that's on the front left. Gotta try rotating them and see if it helps. Otherwise my alignment guy is in trouble (just had it aligned after the tires were put on).

On a side note you should have had them put on letters out, i think it's sexier that way.

How does everything else feel with the kit though? Solid so far? No funky clunks or cheap looking parts?

Haha, personally I prefer the blackwall out on my truck. I tried it the other way, but it seems to take away from the size of the tire...just makes it look beefier to me. =]
As for the kit, all of the parts look solid and feel that way as well. I have had problems with it, like tires hitting the frame and such, but RC is working with me right now to fix that in a costly manner. As for clunking, I am replacing every single steering component as well as lower ball joints this Friday. I figure "New engine, no rust, new lift kit, new tires, new various stuff..." might as well have a "new" truck and go all the way. Ill keep you posted with the feel of the truck in the next few weeks as I drive it and break it in.
