I just finished the lift last night and got everything up and running. What do you think? As far as the steering goes, is there anything that I need to be aware of or should change so I have no problems?

LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!! That is my truck exactly(Top Picture), been wondering how it would look with the RCD 6" Lift. Except for the 2WD part their the same, ok so not EXACTLY.

cognito pitman/idler support kit, and oversized tie rods or sleeves, would be recomended.

Truck looks great. I hope to have mine set up like that soon. Do you think that you could fit bigger tires on there with that lift w/o any rubbing issues?

Not too sure you could fit bigger tires. The 35s just barely clear and I had to cut the plastic in the bumper to prevent rubbing.

35's are perfect. Don't forget about an ORU rear diff cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tire width looks good to me, and I think 10" wheels would look just fine as well. So far I think the kit is great, very easy to install and the truck rides fine just need to adjust the T-bars a bit. I purchased the kit for $1500 through a buddy of mine and the kit comes with blocks in the rear. I think it looks great.

He has a hook up through a local chevy dealership, so I got it at employee prices.
