Hey everyone,
I'm new here but I figured I'd chime in to get an opinion from the more familiar vets out there. So as the title suggests, I bought a 14' SE that already came with a RC 4" lift. Upon further research AFTER committing, I see that it is HIGHLY frowned upon here, but obviously with cutting the factory cross member, it doesn't look reversible, atleast without ruining the frame integrity. I would trade it in for a non botched truck, but my credit isnt the best, I needed a cosign and pretty much all my savings are gone. So looking at the fact that I'm gonna be stuck with this truck for a while, my question is; is it possible to scoop up a pair of 2nd gen 3.0's since the shock body is about 2" longer, combining it with an RPG perch collar or Geiser progressive springs to make up for the other 2" and tossing the strut spacer? I also wanted to chuck the 5" block in the rear, so I was thinking about picking up a pair of deavers even though I dont tow aside from bike track days, but never exceeds a ton, to address the axle wrap issue. I'm open to any advice, and please, I'm already suffering my repercussions as is so take it easy.
