rcx lift 4" OR 6"?

[setty7]

so the mtzs have a soft compound? which of those tires dont because its going to be a street queen for the most part :/

I know the procomp at and extreme at have a 50K and 40K milage warranty

 

[setty7]

i gotcha so the mtzs have a soft compound? whats that cause?

 

[bowtiefreak]

soft compound = increase traction, hard compound = tire life. MTs typically have a soft compound to grab soft surfaces or stick to rocks and so on.

 

[setty7]

I gotcha, do all mud terrains have a soft compound?

 

[bowtiefreak]

pretty much

 

[setty7]

what about the cooper stt's?

 

[bowtiefreak]

I would assume a softer compound.

 

[setty7]

Okay man how do you like the pro comp ats?

The Pro Comp extreme A/T's I have owned in a 35x12.50x17 on a 17x9 XD addicts were a great tire/wheel package. I drove them for 10,000 miles with basically no wear. There great in sand and light/moderate mud, great street manners not sure about ice there light for there size and have a very strong hard compound when I sold the tires for a smaller 33" tire they had nails all over them inside ha I was pretty impressed.

been rolling on my Procomp Xtreme M/T's for a few years and they are just now starting to wear pretty good. guessing they have 15-20K miles on them all street and thats with a locker in the rear end.

96procomptahoe...how do the mts do in the mud? post pics of ur ride!

 

[blackcoffee]

oh 96procomptahoe... I ordered KMA front and rear bumpers lol. Hows your front holding up!?

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

don't really have a place to hit up much mud around here, but had it out in some fields and shit like that and they did pretty well. did pretty well in the snow as well when they were closer to being new. there should be some more pictures of it floating around on here

bumper is holding up good, still need to throw a coat of paint or bedliner on it but that will probably wait till i get the rocker problem fixed and hit it all at the same time. post of some pictures of the rear bumper when you get it!

I got some old BFG KM M/T Radials, they've been great!! I go through pretty much all terrains. Rocks, mud, sand,snow...all around great tire. Going on a year with them next month.

 

[blackcoffee]

Good to hear! That bumpers is I guess 2 years old now atleast and I'm glad to hear its holding up. I'll def post up some pictures when I get them on there. I hate waiting for these damn bumpers its drives me nuts I just want them now haha.

 

[setty7]

how much those bumpers run? Kinda like ranch hands?

 

[setty7]

anyone?

the difference from the 4 to 6" kit is nothing more than the AAL. The kit even came with the longer rubber front brake lines. The kit drops the differential down about 5.25". I have been very happy with the kit, been running it for a few months now.

how does de-cranking down to 4" affect the IFS when using this lift? What negative/positive affects can i expect?

Bowtie - still happy with the lift?

I need a really strong kit that won't bend/break when it gets beat up over really long trail rides. Is there any other 4" kit you would recommend?

Love my RCX still. A decranked RCX will be great on all anlges in the front end. Do it! A great set up would be a decranked on 33 or add a body lift and run 35-36

An SAS may be in the future for the tahoe, if so the cepek will will go up for sale. Really thinking hard about this....
