6" RCX help

[jerryjoe28]

ok guys I have a 6" rcx lift. if I crank the front to level the upper A arms hit the drop stop and my CV angels look a little steep to me. those of you with this lift how much room do you have between the drop stop and the upper a arm? how are you cv angles? this is driving me up the wall!

also what do your fenders measure from the ground to the fender well?

Post some pictures. It may vary with everyone depending on the rear set up they have such as blocks varying from 3-5.5 inches and if they decided to use a AAL or shackle flip. I believe these trucks ride on the bump stops as is . don't quote me on this just remember seeing a thread where it was being discussed I never really noticed or cared to notice

raining today but I will try to post some pics tomorrow. Mine has 4" blocks and a 2" AAL. after I put the new wheels and tires on Monday I may look into dropping it a inch in the rear if I have room. i'm running about 44 1/2" to the fender flare from the ground in the front, 45 1/2 in the rear. that gives me like 1/8" space from the drop stop .

cant get a good pic of the drop stop for some reason but its literally like 1/8 inch space

 

[jerryjoe28]

excuse the dirt and random tar I got all over every thing, but hopefully but hopefully you can see the angle on the saft

@bowtiefreak I was starting to think you disappeared on me. I text you about it the other day before I post it. im going to replace the axels tomorrow just want them to be bad because they are old and not tear up the new ones

 

[jerryjoe28]

@bowtiefreak don't forget about me

LOL, I am here. So on my suburban my fenders all measure out around 41.5-42" My CVs are just about flat and I can get my pinky finger between the stop and the arm. I hope that helps. I clear the 35s without issue. I'll double check this again tonight and check the tahoe too.

well that is confusing? my cvs are deff not flat but even worse Im almost touching the drop stop?!?!?!? I am going to haft to do some trimming with the new wheels and tires like it sets. no way I can drop it back down

 

[bowtiefreak]

I checked them again tonight. 42" in the front on the suburban and 45.5 on the tahoe. I will try and grab a picture too.

 

[jerryjoe28]

Did you trim anything On yours? If I drop it down I will rub like crazy

 

[bowtiefreak]

Next to nothing

thanks for taking some pics .... wow I cant even get my pinky between the drop stop and the upper A-ARM!!!... I cant figure out what is different! your axels are almost perfectly straight! you are running 35s yes?

 

[bowtiefreak]

yup, 35x12.5x17. Wheels are 17x8 with 4.5" BS. The width of the wheels is what is killing you. A body lift may be needed to clear them

was the exact same (on the drop stop) with the 16x8 s with 4.5" bs ...... the width did make it worse on the clearance for turns though
