Default which body lift is better

i am looking at doing a small body lift on my 2010 silverado. I was looking at either the 1.25 rough country or 1.5 zone. Which kit is better or is there another one i should look at? Are there any negeatives about installs or gaps after install, if anyone has any pics of these body lifts after install that would be great.

I have the rcx body lift on my truck. You can barley tell its on there but that's what i like, imo i think 3'' plus body lifts look horrible unless you got somethig to fill in the gaps with . I haven't got to finish the back yet,( been busy with school and work). Overall i like the lift and was easy to install the front part as for as the back ill let you know when im done.

I have the 1.5" on my truck and my dad has the 1.25" on his. 50 dollar price difference for a 1/4". RCX was easier to install as well

I may be wrong about this, but from what I understand Rough Country 1.25 comes with bumper relocation brackets, while the Zone 1.5 charges extra for bumper brackets. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Do you have any suspension lift? Unless you absolutly need it 1.5" is a waist of time in my opinion.

2" Barely makes a differance that is why if you are looking at a body lift 3 is most common. It isn't stupid big and doesn't make the body unstable. 1.5" on a truck is like .5 on a car.

Do what you want but I wouldn't want to spend a weekend for virtualy no reason. Like I said if you absolutly need the room great but other wise do a tiny trim on the bumper and call it good, spend the money on something usefull. That is just my two cents.

i was looking at the rcx because of the bumper relocation brackets. if any one has installed this body lift how was is it and were there any things that would stop me from goin back to stock if needed.
