Looks great! The one thing I would do different is use springs and not lift blocks in the back.

I don’t care what anyone says I’ve had 4 RC lifts and I’ve loved every single one!

Something is just awesome about seeing just the chassis sitting there lifted on those Wheels! You definitely have me sucked in the past couple months! I find myself disappointed every time I check to see if there is a new video for the day. Keep them coming!! Awesome stuff 💪💪💪

What a great bunch of guys helping you that truck is gonna be beautiful.

Looks great, looking forward to seeing the finished Victory Max.

Can't wait to install my zone 6" lift on my truck that was totaled in ohio. Fully rebuilt and ready to go! Got the dually up and running, alot to keep up with 2 duramaxs but they'll be nice when finished.

I did the same kit on my 06 2 months ago, I opted for the kicker braces, uca, tie rod sleeves and v2 shocks also you can use 07-13 1500 traction bars on it. No issues yet

Truck looks great already. Cant wait to see how the lift performs!

looks amazing so far! I would do another rough country lift some day. I installed one on my 2002 Sierra back in 2010 and it has held up so good. 10 years later and everything’s still strong. Keep up with the videos! Loving the build.

Thanks Aaron I appreciate the feedback on your RC kit

Just keep bringing another "wow factor " ...looking good. Me I would have used springs for the rear lift vice blocks..but it is what it is.. I also might only have gone 4 inches... just enough to clear 35's... but if you are going tall, go to 40"s..37's atleast. Now is a good time to install air bags for load leveling. Bigger brakes, poly bushings and body bushings... but hey your doing a great job and it looks great. Just don't rush it... take the time to enjoy the build and do it right. The build is the fun, and you don't need to hurry. Used to run sand drags in the early 70's... paddles and horsepower... but I saw a lot of built buggies with built volkswagon engines blow away big block rigs... horsepower to weight ratio.... fast and fun...

I got my Duramax life sticker way cool thanks Josh.

awesome!

It's funny that all this is happening about 10 minutes from where I live lol

Sorry if you’ve already mentioned it but are you gonna color match the bumpers front and back, or keep the chrome? That will be extremely clean If you do man. Looking good already

Absolutely nothing against what you guys are doing but it looks like when me and a few friends and a case or two of beer look like. Just some pros doing what they do in a relaxed environment

What made you go with lift blocks on this build instead of springs. I remember you saying how much you didn’t like blocks when you took them off of your other truck

Might as well go shop at the 99 cents store for lift parts if you’re going with rough county 😂

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!

Truck Master You’re going to find out soon that the name doesn’t lie. Every road in the country becomes rough. I’ve now removed 4 rough country lift kits and replaced with BDS including my own truck. Looking forward to seeing the build wrap up.

Did you have to use wheel spacers in the rear on that kit? I've heard alot of people saying you do.

If I were the old owner I wouldn't be jealous at all, I'd be happy watching the build. Obviously no shop is going to do all this for free for a normal person. You do realize how much money you or I would have to pay to have all this work done, right? Far, far exceeds the value of the vehicle even in perfect condition. The money put into this truck as a down payment on a 2020 Dmax would make the monthly payment very low.

Honestly I don’t like lift kits, I don’t think they are practical. I would rather spend the money under the hood and have big power, because I’m a dairy farmer, and I routinely pull 25-30,000 pound silage wagons. My good ol 03 LB7 does great at it. No shit I’ve ive run those wagons over a scale. That pickup has no trouble whatsoever, even though it’s only rated for something like 15,000 lbs. Never checked, cause the truck does all I ask of it, and I’ve put 50,000 very hard miles on it

Spends all kinds of money on a frame up. Buys the cheapest, worst lift money can buy😂 “Clean and nice” doesn’t go in the same sentence with Rough Country 😂😂

Truck Master I actually really like all of your videos. I’ll still be here for the future video when you take it off. RC is bottom of the barrel lift kits, and you didn’t save much money money by not going with something better quality

Put a real lift on

How are we supposed tell you about the kit we saw a brake removal and you talking. Kind of a waste and thumbs down.

I'm sorry...cant stomach RC .....but watch ur diff angle....their blocks are not tapered like they should be...if the diff is straight on to the front diff like all u need is a straight bar to hook them up. Start buying U-joints now.....I hope ur selling this truck.......they dont stand by their stuff and dont care about customer satisfaction......I had major problems with them and their products. 🤮🤮🤮 their shocks are a mass produced and only have a one way valve body N-2 & N3'S...junk!!!! Couldnt keep my truck in the road!!!!!
