5 inch RC lift

[skrimp]

I bought my truck used with a RC 5 inch lift. I'm looking to go smaller and probably get a carli leveling kit. Can i just swap out the coils and shocks for the carli ones?? no help from RC on advice.

A 5” lift usually has quite a bit more to it than a simple spring swap up front. Gonna need to figure out which kit you have, and what parts need to come off.

Send some photos; especially of the frame end of the radius arms. Should be easy to figure out from there!

this is the kit thats on it. Radius arms are the same. I don't know what half this other stuff is. I think its a spacer for the transfer case to move the angle of the driveshaft down.

Yeah, I would take that kit off too, the radius arms are going to be tilted way down, which results in a harsher ride. I know what most of those brackets are: the big bracket in the middle bottom, next to the pitman arm, drops the front track bar on the frame end. It works in conjunction with the pitman arm... You will not be able to use those radius arms, they will have way too much caster, if you lower it. Is your truck a gas or diesel? I have some stock power wagon radius arms that would work great on a gasser...
