5.5 RE coils
Autozone shackle to my leaves
Adj. Track bar
Brake Lines

If they eye-eye length on your LCAs are anywhere near 16-17 inches then they're close to stock.
For 5-6 inches of lift you really need LCA Drop brackets or Longarms.
The drop brackets will work fine with your current LCAs.
It's all about the angles.

RC. Upside down?
RE
<- Front - Rear ->
When I installed the RE LCAs they have the arm offset on the end that connects to the axle. When dropping the axle it's clear that without the offset the LCA would interfere with the axle mount and limit the amount of downward wheel travel.
The RC LCAs don't seem to have an offset so they appear to be upside-down in the picture and the bend is to accommodate downward wheel travel. No?
