Lift kit for a 98 k2500 questions

[joog]

I posted earlier asking about piecing together a lift kit for a 1998 Chevrolet K2500 with the 8 lug hubs. I was thinking about piecing it together because I had 0 findings of lift kits for this year and it being an 8 lug.

This was the ONLY one I found for a 98, k2500, 8 lug
https://performancelifts.com/rcd-6-suspension-lift-k2500-k3500-8-lug-10-41888.html

Is this a quality/worth while kit? Is it reputable?

I remember rough country being a budget and mediocre lift kit. I don't know how much to trust them nowadays.

I tried to look at BDS and skyjacker with no luck. BDS only sells for 6 lug 2500s and not the 8 luggers. Skyjacker doesn’t make a complete kit. So that’s why I was looking at the RCD lift I sent because they use bilstein shocks, and looks pretty high quality and does fit the truck. I just don’t know if anyone here uses RCD or has experience with them.

I have an RCD kit on my 1500 currently. The main gripe I have is that it increases the tracking width of the front 2 tires 2in on each side. That's why they include spacers between the axles and the diff. I will be switching to a BDS kit soon enough to get rid of that extra tracking width. Other then that though it's a decent kit considering the lack of options available for an 8 lug.
