Yes... the kit is doing great. I have had it on since last April of 2010.

I have added two additional things to improve the stance, not because of problems. I added the larger blocks in the rear to put back a slight rake (info about blocks in this and/or other threads); I also added the 7/8" spacers from Ready Lift that I discussed on the prior page of this thread. I will post before/after pictures of the truck soon.

a 7/8" spacer on the front so you now have a 4.5 or 5" lift?

I think he means wheel spacer, not strut spacer.

I've got a couple of questions for you. First did you purchase the premium RC kit. And what to you mean by rake. And did you install the lift or did someone install it for you and if so was it the dealer. And what do mean by blocks in the back. Thanks. By the way I love the way your truck looks. Good job

When he says rake he means the back sits higher than the front. When raising a vehicle there are different ways to raise the back and blocks are one of them.

do you think i could run this kit with a 3" body lift that's already installed?

Yes you can. The body lift will have no affect on the suspension lift and vise versa.
