This time it was the drivers side. Im scheduled an appointment with the big boys at RCX Monday. Hopefully they'll resolve something for me. I have loads of proof that I'm not the only one with issues.

You are ripping boots too? Mine were 1500 miles new. If that.

Default Yupp.

They didnt help me out one bit- Basically after waiting and bugging and waiting and bugging their rep's there, I FINALLY got through to the manager. All he said after my 3 minute speech was "Lower the front half an inch and replace your halfshaft"...

I asked "Soooo, there isnt any other way that you can 'help me' out?"

Looks like im installing my body lift...mehh.

what hieght are you riding at and what size tires are you running? im riding at 21.5" and im having problems with my psg side cv binding but only when at full drop. im planning on making a bracket to drop the diff mount on the psg 1/2" to even it up with the driver side. but im gonna wait untill spring to do that because im planning on some down time as i want to paint the frame and fix the body and a few other things.

I had my CV replaced under warranty, had it aligned after dropping the front 1/2" and spent 13 hours in a barn with my buddy installing my body lift. I still need to put the rear bumper on and figure out where the front bumper side brackets go, but after that I'm finished with my build minus odds and ends.

Anyone got any updates on their lifts? Seems like after the buzz died down everyone stop posting (other forums as well).

I've been running the kit since jan w/ a 2in BL & haven't had any major issues minus tire rub @ full lock w/ 31in on stock rims. keep in mind any issue you get w/ a tbar crank u run the risk of seeing w/ this kit. its notta cure to IFS binding or quicker wearing out of front end componets (ballJoints, Tie-rods,etc) if your looking for that do a SFAS. Otherwise I like it on my daily drivers & thats running 80miles a day on hwy & some times the FUN gravels on the way home.
