You wont be done. I have a rcsb Z also. I've got solid mid 15's now and said I'll stop at 14's. Well 14's are just around the corner, and I'm thinking they will be low 14's which means I won't be able to stop till solid 13's which means.....
Anyway, I grew out of the 9" lift. it was cool, but I drive a lot on the interstate, and it got old quick. If all you want is looks go for it, but you would be very surprised how capable the short trucks are capable of with traction and tires. A good friend of mine were in his rcsb with the factory tires and drove thru a 5 foot ditch one wet night, I was very impressed. At the time, my ec was lifted 9" with mud tires, and I would have never attempted what we did in his stock truck.

i like going fast
i figure some bee-hive style z06 springs with a cam and a supercharger...change the redline from 5200 to like 6500-7k rpms would be a huge powerband...superchargers sound cool to...after hearing my mom and dads neighbors lightning....i think ill go supercharged over turbocharged.
just gotta save money now....but at the rate my truck is going and the way chevy dealerships are treating me...im really close to trading my truck in for something else...its gay when they make you pay $400 for anew cluster w/labor....and the **** still doesnt work, pay $150 for a vehicle speed sensor and the tripometer resets itself after u turn the truck off...******* bastards.
