RCD Lift Kit

If you end up getting it, be sure to reinforce the "triangle" shaped differential drop bracket. They're known for snapping in half over time and in-turn, taking out your front shaft with it. Don't jump it or beat on it too hard......the shocks are known for snapping in half just below the valve body.
 
Ok. Anything else I should look for? I'm picking it up tomorrow. Also how hard would it be to replace the triangle piece?
 
This is what I did with my "triangle piece" otherwise known as the differential support bracket. Mine broke this summer at the dunes, I plated it with a 3/16" plate to reinforce it.

Thanks kozal. Does the kit come with one or two of them? I wanna be sure of what I am buying cuz I know nothing about these lifts and I'm spending quite a bit of money.
 
But I have heard horror story's about that bracket breaking and blowing holes in the dif!! Def support before install !!

Im not sure how that would be possible, seems pretty unlikely to me but its better safe than sorry I guess. Mine let go when I was in low range at full throttle pulling a hill in the sand. It wore the crossmember a bit where the pinion yoke rubbed on it but was un damaged otherwise.

might be someone that it blew the diff was doing things they shouldnt have been doing also?
 
the only way i can see someone really screwing up their truck would be if they were jumping it
