I'm finally at a point of satisfaction with my truck. Over the next few months, I am planning on escalade handles, colormatched mirrors with chrome caps, sss tailgate cap, and possibly a Pro Comp 6" decranked on current wheels/tires + 2" spacers.

They don't make 194 switchbacks, but a good set of 42 LED tower style, does the trick.

I believe he was talking about the color. I have halogen 194's in the turn signals

I haven't really decided for sure. I'll do a lot more research before purchasing but I heard RCX doesn't ride very good.

Pro Comp: 6 Inch Crossmember/Bracket Lift Kit with MX-6 Shocks

Fab Tech: 6 Performance System w/ Performance Shocks - 2000-06 GM K1500 4WD

RCX: 6in Suspension Lift Kit for 99-06 Chevy / GMC 4wd 1500 Pickup [272N2] | Rough Country Suspension Systems

Pro-Comp makes both a knuckle, and a full-drop 6" lift.

All 3 lifts, only lower the differential about 4.5". So to achieve 6" of lift, you will have around the same angles as stock keys cranked (+1.5"~).

RCX 4/6" lift (same kit, only difference is rear block size) De-cranked, with kicker braces, Bilsteins or Foxes, and steering stabilizers will ride awesome, same goes for all 3 lifts. Faptech Dirt Logic 2.0's are great shocks also. MX-6's are Meh at best.

stock RC 2.0 shocks are firm, decent quality. would call them "meh" as well. Fabtech basic shocks are junk, as are pro-comps.

You can get the RC for $900. And its a NTDB, so it looks a lot cleaner.

If you wanted to go bigger, you can get a McGaughys 7-9 for about $1250 shipped. set @ 7, with 33's and spacers, would be awesome stance, with a tad of "cencal" flavour, and ride awesome. Would be same proportions as BB's 99-02 NBS he just built with the HD front clip (purple PC'd FTS lifted truck).

word. I'm kinda wishing I hadn't bought them now. If/when I lift, it will be a 6" decranked. I'm not really going for height, just want to fully clear 33's with a little stance.

Sale them, Can make most of your $$ back.

And if that's the case, get the RCX 4". $900 + kicker braces & steering stabilizer. Get NNBS CV's, Bilstein 5100's or Fox 2.0's, AAL & 3" block, 1.5" rear spacers, love life.
 
I remember seeing 194 switchbacks somewhere. Superbrightleds or be of them sites had em. But you have to desire the circuit. The way they work is that when the polarity is reversed, it switches from white to orange.
