Do you know if you used new OE cv axles or extended cv axles after this kit. I put 4 inch lift kit with extended cv axles and they keep blowing. I was wondering if I should try OE ones and the extended are too long
How long did it take you to do this work I'm only asking because the truck we bought had a lift kit in it and it was at the garage all day and just for lower ball joints and a front end alignment which i was told that we didn't need an alignment but if it was swapped out then I could see an alignment and was also told front differential was leaking and there's nothing on the ground where we park the truck
A lift kit takes 8 to 10 hrs. I am one of those people that always recommend an alignment or at least have it checked after having any front end/ suspension done. Better safe than sorry. I know that on some trucks you have to replace the entire control arm if the ball joints are bad. If that is the case then 100% needs an alignment. Because the adjustments for the aliment are done at the lower control arm bolts. There are a lot of factors that could have come into play with why it took all day. If they have to order the parts sometimes it takes the parts store/ department a while to bring the parts to the shop. So what I'm getting at is it is not uncommon for a couple hour job to take all day. As for the differential it could be leaking and not be dripping on to the ground. Gear oil is very viscus so it tends to stick to the diff and not drip. Also there are skid plates and dust covers that could be catching the oil and not letting it hit the ground. I would look under the truck at the front diff and see if it looks wet.
34x11R20 on a wheel with a 0 offest is what we normally do. Anything bigger take quite a bit of modifcation due to the crash bars. We wont cut them off due to the liability of modifying a safty feature. I however have figured out a way to swap them to gain more clearance and that way they are still there. Im sure there are people out there who have done it. Its just going to take a lot of work and time.

Not a 2018. But thanks for posting this! Helpful information for when I do my lift.
Great vid!! Looking at getting this done but dont want to get new wheels. Do you think a 17inch rim with 2 inch spacers would clear the new knuckle?

I have rubbing issues too
We can help you with that.
Heck yeah
Can you run 35x12.50 r20 in a 4 inch lift with out rubbing?

Letting the break calipers hang like that 🥲
We encourage you to take another look, we use BRAKE caliper hangers on all of our builds. FYI you are looking for the neon yellow hooks.
How many hours to put on the lift?
Depending on skill level it takes about 8 - 10 hours. Although skilled installers average about 6-8 hours.

The RC kit is designed to work with OE length axels.
