another ? about the RCD and superlift kits

[Jay Cronin]

hey ya'll thanks again for all the guidance. but yet i still have a few more questions. first will the RCD kit mount right up on the ST or will i hafta do some fabrication to the front end??and another thing, would 4:56 gears be a good choice to go with to hook up the 35's good and prevent from losing to much gas mileage?? im no really looking to do too much off-roading with it, just muddin really... would it be a better choice cost wise and for what im going to use the truck for to just go with the 4" superlift, 3" BL, a 1-2 in TT and the 1.25" shackle?? i the only reason for the TT and shackle lift is so i wount hafta do any cutting to run the 35's. and one more question does anyone know if the superlift comes with a pinion kit or would i hafta purchase that separately?? cuz ive heard after installing the shackle on that much lift already it tends to affect the pinion angle... is this true??

The RCD Kit needs some work on the front end other then disassembly/reassembly. There is welding that needs to be done and a modification made to the new front differential control arm. I recommend finding a professional that can put in the time for you. The welding work and modification to the front differential control arm needs to be strong and accurate. Also, modifying the lower control arm to mount the coil over spring assembly is nothing to be taken lightly.



If you do find anyone to work on this kit, the results are well worth the work.



I don’t know much about the super lift kit.



Take a look in my picture library to see the RCD Kit installed.

The spindles are different and you will need different rotors (smaller) as well. The spindles and the rotors are the only difference, everything else will bolt right up. I have the Superlift lift kit and I also have Fox coilovers.
