that was brutal. a RCD lift is $2100 a PA body lift is $500 but id source elsewhere. a SAS will cost $5000 easily. "not too much more my ass". you just doubled the cost and you still dont have wheels and tires yet.

$2,100 installed? how about the body lift? if you have a welder and the ability to fabricate you could get a SAS done for $2,500 depending on the axle you source.

but it's really a moot point, because a 10" lift any other way is scary, dangerous and you gain ZERO suspension travel. What is the point of 37s, with only 8" of travel? or whatever stock is.

i think its well documented how much most of the guys that have SAS conversions have spent. ive only looked at a couple of them and both were $5000 give or take a bit.
so your asking me if $2100 is installed? only if its a good buddy discount. then you ask about the body lift and go on to say "if you have a welder and the ability to fabricate blah blah blah".
so the guy cant install a prefabbed suspension lift or body lift but he can save money on SAS if he can fab. quite the contradictary statement isnt it. your still stuck without gears, without wiring being done, without wheels and tires.
i can fab but you wouldnt find me throwing a SA under my truck. too much **** besides just the axle to get ahold of.
OP, i bet if you include some bilstein 5100s in your purchases TS would go crazy and give you the thumbs up. be all end all BILSTEINS!

i think the animosity towards body lifts is just the bandwagon. back in the day there were way more BL trucks than true suspension lifted trucks. all the negative hype towards them is just ignorance. would i put a BL on my truck? yeah if that was the best way to lift my truck. i chose to go the RCD because i can install it myself and it fit my needs. would i do a SA, yep if i had the time to have my truck down while i source all the parts and make sure i have everything to finish the install. even then you know things will come up.

the biggest hang up i have since i lifted my truck with the RCD is the bump steer i get. i could throw on a steering stabilizer but its not high on the priority list. the second part that i dont like is the stupid yaw control which goes off all the time when pulling. i just disconnect the sensor on the master cylinder now. nobody had any solutions to the problem when i asked in another thread.
other than that the truck rides nice. its a little noisier from the tires but i think a bit of the extra noise is coming through the rack with the polyurethane bushings.
