Just installed a 6" RCD lift, with a set of real lift torsion bar relocators. Also installed lot's of other goodies. I'm very pleased with the outcome! :-) What do ya think?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif

How is the ride? RCD is who I'm looking at for my lift, probably.

How do you like the real lift adapters? I have the Amsoil dual oil bypass in the area next to the torsion bars, and don't think those would work for me. But if I were lifting my truck, I would want to keep the torsion bars up out of the way like the real lift relocation things do it. So I would probably move or do a way with the dual oil bypass.


By the way, very good looking truck you have there.

You can re-locate your bypass oil filters by extending the hoses and running them back to a location just in front of the fuel tank cooler. I spoke to AMSOIL about this and they said it would be not problem, you can relocate it anywhere. I am considering the REALift also. . .

Thanks for the information, I figured the filters would be easy enough to relocate. It is just getting a drop hitch long enough for my TT, and dump trailer. I have decided against getting a 5th wheel because I want a lift kit. But right now with my setup, I can not set the TT level and I have a 12" drop. The biggest problem is the hitch stabilizer system, it takes about 4" of the drop away from being useful.


If it ain't one thing, it is a bunch of something else.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif
