The NTD kit is nice but I didn't get the 6 inches out of the lift. When I got it to clear the tiers the front axles made noise and I had to back off some That was with the spacer also. The ride on the NTD kit was sponge but now it rides good but stiffer with the keys.
uh my rcx kit uses spindles too... the only difference between torsion drop and non, is the ground clearance.

So, you're trying to say that the two kits are designed the same? And the OP will experience the exact same issues that you did, with your completely different designed kit? I don't get it.

The OP asked about a specific kit, not every 6" lift out there.

Jesus I give up...go on rough country website and check out the kits yourself, the only different part is two little brackets that make you able to keep the torsion bars higher.

The brackets are a little different between the two kits. I would say your alignment problem is not a kit problem. I have probably installed 30+ kits and they all hold a good alignment. We have one shop that does our alignments and all the other shops have problems with lifted trucks. I think it has a lot to do with the shop doing the alinment.

it took us about 8 hours to do the lift. no real problems, just took alot of trial and error with the diff grinding. weve done put on about 6 suspension lifts on freinds rides. 2 of them were BDS , the only difference i see with the RCX and the BDS is the option for dual shocks.the fit and qaulity are great. i cranked my torsions a lil in the front, and cut a lil of my valence, due to my offset and my aftermarket 17's. the back is a lil mow ,because my stock leafs have 286k on them. ima order a 1 1/2 addaleaf. i have 33inch iroks on there now, but will upgrade to 35inch LTB's shortly. i will post a pic in a few
