aha.
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.
