A one-piece track-bar drop-down bracket is constructed of 3/8-inch-plate steel, ensuring strength, precise axle location, and bind-free axle articulation. A heavy-duty forged pitman arm ensures precise steering geometry and function. The kit includes 4.25-inch factory-style rear blocks and U-bolts. Four custom-matched Bilstein monotube gas-pressure shocks offer good performance and ride characteristics. RCD Suspension, 619.588.4723, www.racecardynamics.com
Rize Industries has a 10- to 12-inch lift suspension system for the '02-'08 GM 4WD truck. The kit utilizes new compression struts that hide the torsion bars inside them. An innovative feature is the 100-percent handmade full-length spindles. This kit provides clearance for 37- to 40-inch-tall tires. The drop bracketry requires absolutely zero frame and differential cutting. A rear compression strut system provides support for the control-arm drop brackets. A strong billet and formed lift spindle requires no upper control-arm modifications and steers from the factory tie-rod location, thereby putting less stress on the factory steering components. It also has a factory-like front track width with an increase of only 5/8-inch per side. Rize Industries, 619.447.0110, www.rizeind.com
