Suspension & AxleTechnical discussions regarding alignment, stock and modified suspensions, lift kits, axles, hub conversions, gearing and steering.
This is a discussion thread titled "r.c.d lift info", within the Suspension & Axle forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
The block that's included is a 4" block, which will level it for the 6" kit, because I'm sure you all know they sit lower in the front from the factory. If you want less than 4 in the rear (say 2" maybe) you'd have to get a different block and u-bolts. We might offer that as an additional package, but I'm not sure if we'll package two different versions of the rear kit, because it's all packaged together. You can see in the older pictures of the grey Tundra what the 4.5 inches in front looked like with 4 in the rear. It's a little squatty, but some people may want that. As soon as you put anything in the bed, it'll level right out.
My Tundra was very "stink-bugged" stock so with about 6.5" lift up front and a 3" block in the rear it leveled very nicely. It might be just a tad higher in the front. I've never really checked it for level since I really like the way it sits now. I don't haul very heavy stuff so it's never a problem. Just for info...

roughly 4" cradle plus roughly 2" adjustable coilovers = roughly 4" to 6.5" of lift. so essentially the subframe is similar in height to "other" drop bracket kits, but rcd includes the coilovers as well, resulting in a setup similar to tundra thunder's truck back in the day (35s, roughly 6" lift using the "other" drop bracket kit and a set of teamwest saws). that's why i was asking about the cradle delta Z dimension.
you guys worrying about price, dont sweat it. youre getting a great deal here for several reasons. first, it's a much sturdier kit than past kits, which is important if youre going to wheel the truck. second, they did all the hard stuff for you. third, by combining the parts (~4" drop bracket lift AND ~2" adjustable coilovers), you can buy the whole thing for less money. the other option would be the "other" 4" drop bracket and then find your own coilovers, which means either using stock and a 4" external spacer or dropping close to a grand on a set of adjustable coilovers of the correct length--you'll be spending more for similar overall quality. remember this is a complete kit, all the hard work's been done for you.
it sounds like a good deal, cant wait to see it on some trucks.
