Has anyone put in the RC 6'' lift on this forum yet? I was almost about to go for it back in the summer but I went with the 2.5'' and 2'' body... kinda wish I went for the 6'' now.

I haven't seen anything about it. I plan on getting just the 2.5" without a body lift. I don't want to get into needing bigger tires and all that. Plus it's mostly my dd, I don't really do any hard offroading

So I just realized that superlifts component box I was referring to only includes both crossmemebers and upper and lower control arm drop brackets. It doesn't include anything to fix the steering

There is a video on this site about the RC 6" lift...
And in the video if you watch carefully as the blazer is
Going through a set of woops, the driver side wheel
Is doing a nasty toe in toe out thing that is just painfull
Looking....now RC may have remedy this, but I dont know
Now im not knocking there products or anything, they do make
Some fine quality stuff, just not sure about the 6" lift...
And the initiall asking price is low because of a reason...
Im just say'n....
I tracked down the video....just dint no how to post it

the toe in toe out thing could just be ****ty stabilizers, so just buy a dual steering stabilizer kit from a better company. I'm not saying rc's 6" is necessarily good though. I mean, it is pretty new.. and cheap.. Look at their 2.5" for example; when it first came out, it didn't include the dif drop brackets

Some people have had some diff/steering clearance issues with bds5 and sl6, but I didnt have a problem with my bds.

The BDS 6" Thatbis currently installed on my jimmy
Went toghether like cake....I did though study the
Install manual for about 3months before I did it
And also lay out all the parts on the living room floor.
My wife and kids thought I had lost my mind...
But they dont like reading instructions anyway....
The kit is great.... no room for dual steering stabilizer
But still a very nice kit.....

Just a quick update...if piecing a lift together...dont forget
The torsion bar drop....the mounts for the rear TB. Are also lowered
To keep the bars level and parallel.
