Hello fellow hoe fans. Just picked up a 03 fully loaded z71 hoe. Figured i would sign up to get the skinny on 6" lifts. Names Rick and im from beaver (pittsburgh) pa. Been a while since i had a 4wd vehicle and need to get back into the swing of things.

6 inch lift, keys to level, 35's. Just trying to decide on fabtech 6 inch bracket lift or rough country 6 inch knuckle lift.

I've heard good things about the Fabtech 6" lift... not sure about the RC 6" lift... I actually had an 01 Z71 Tahoe in dark green but sold it last year... the person who bought it is now a member on here and put a huge lift on it... look up TYF member ROV Hawk for more pics...

Here is when I had it:

Here is what he did to it:

I know fabtechs are awesome but the rcx is cheap and a knuckle lift. I gotta research it more. If not there are other knuckle/spindle lifts out there.

From what I have read, the RC kits fall apart and have constant alignment issues...

Based on the info spread about RC, I wouldn't use any of their products. But the internet forums spread false information faster than anything, so... Take it as you will..
