Hey guys, I am interested in the RC 4.5 LA lift, has anyone had any experience with it? The main thing I am looking at is does it require the SYE and driveshaft and/or does the aftermarket tranny/T case support lower the angle? Similar to the spacers you get with the SA kits. Thanks

no sye on mine and zero issues.. plan on doing it anyway just because it's a good idea. nice to be running the same driveshafts front and rear

so far I like this kit a lot. good flex and a smooth ride.

I agree, I was just curious incase I wanted to jump the gun and do the lift first.

When I went from 3"'s with a TC drop kit to a 4 1/2" lift I had to use an SYE and a 6* shim because I wanted it done right. BTW it also had a vibration in the rear driveshaft and I had a new custom made one.

Do it right the first time then don't worry about it.
