werd, with a 7" drop out back, I have around 3" of travel. It would bottom out sometimes, but with 10psi in the bags, it never bottoms out and doesn't lift the truck a noticible amount

This thread has basically answered all my questions of how I want to lower my 10' rcsb. To the thread starter I would like to know how the truck is holding up?

man, i have a DJM 4/6 in my garage just waiting to be installed!! just havent had time, and i dont know if i wanna do it myself. Have you heard about swapping out the djm control arm bushings due to squeeking?

Have any pics of the new tire/wheel combo to see the gaps in the front and back? Thanks..... looks great by the way

The truck is holding up just fine! put over 15k miles on this kit so far. Everything is holding up just fine. See post below about bushings.

I have heard about swapping out the bushings but I have not done that. I hear a squeak every now and then but I will probably get around to it sometime. I did however swap out the balljoints for Moog ones. Here is an updated pic with my new tire and wheel combo. (See sig too )

^^
looks great, are those 20's?
what tire size are you running.

I had my 4/6 installed saturday, i got the 305/40R22 and it does rub a bit on the inner fender. Im actually debating on going back to 20's for weight reduction.

Hey CJ, did you have to install hubcentric rings on those centerlines? I've got a set at home waiting to go on and I'm not sure if they need em or not.

Truck looks too!
