I am very close to ordering up my lift. I have a 2012 4x4 CC Sport. I already plan on buying bilstein adjustables for the front. I am going with either the 4 inch rcx or the 6 inch rcx. I don't want the lift to make the tires look small. Also just for S's and G's what would be the difference between 37's and 35's in power loss. I really don't want to go with the 37's because of the 3.55 gearing, but i will be going 4.56 when they come out with a kit for the 2012. So maybe a few pictures and just some input, I am saying the odds and Friday I am ordering the lift so help me out. I know there are threads with the trucks but I would like some specific info. Also I have to be able to go in a 8 ft. garage so thats another thing to consider. Any help would be great, Thanks guys I know I'm going to get some great answers. :smileup:
yeah I saw his. His truck is the one that keeps me from being sure about just a body lift added to my level. wish he could bump them down to .7 and give me a look haha. I know I want rake, so the 1.4 isn't for me, but his truck looks Awesome, For sure. Everyone likes there trucks differently, and any ram looks great, just gotta make it your own.
Well I have my rims and tires ordered thanks to discount auto! Black and machined Fuel Throttles 20x10 -24 with 35/12.50 nitto trail grapplers. Pretty much set on ordering a 6 inch RCX lift as well with bilsteins set at .7 in the next few weeks!
hmmm. dang decisions. I will probably set them at .7 to start and if I don't like it I will change them to 1.4. That is one good thing about the bilsteins although it'll be a pain taking them back out.
I really really want the 6 inch lift. But the more and more i think about it, its getting harder and harder to spend the money at the time. Body lift and the ability to buy flares and do a couple other little things for now is sounding pretty good. I guess i will make the decision when the time comes.
I went through the same decision or contemplation when I was lifting. I actually bought Bilsteins and body lift.
Then just ended up going the suspension route.
But... As mentioned in my email, you'll get both responses.
To go suspension and the other to go body lift.
Its all in what you want.
My thought process is to just go body lift now ride like that for a while and if I love it don't change it but if I need more then I can spend the money and go bigger. But I like the looks of the 1.25 body lift. Because you mainly can't even tell it's there but you can definitely tell the height difference. And gives a good looking gap with 35s and my 2.5 level that's on now.
Its your truck and always good to try it our first.
Its not like you need to remove it.
You got the prices for all
Let me know if you need anything else.
Yeah i can't either. the difference is 1600 for suspension if i install myself and 400 for a body lift installed by the shop. Your truck looks so good it keeps me from just doing the body lift. Our wheel and tire setup is similar, and our trucks are the same color. And your truck looks great, Which makes me really wanna go with the 6.
If you can deal with a tiny bit amount of squeak (from the body lift) and a feel of slight body roll, then do the body lift
It's the squeak and roll to most is not noticeable.
To me it was and that's why it's removed
But I'm anal like that.....
As of right now i'm still thinking of doing a body lift on top of the rcx 6" lift. Doesn't seem high enough for me now :4-dontknow: haha but then my tires would look extremely small. If you want any certain pictures let me know and i'll try and take them for you.
Yeah I have checked out your thread when you got it done and it looks great for sure! I am just ready to get mine done. But I wouldn't go taller until you can go with a bigger tire.
Oh yeah I'm going to the 6 that's already been decided. Ha. Just deciding which one. I'm having withdrawals waiting on these wheels and it's only been 4 days. 2 business days haha.
