Default Lift Suggestions
Hey everyone,

I am looking for a lift kit, but I am not sure what brand to go with. I am leaning towards a rough country 3.25" lift. I mean I want the lifted look, but I don't want the street ride to suffer too much. Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you really want the lifted look check out their 6" lift.

I have a 2.5 inch RC. Half of the people can't even tell it's lifted... But do I care? Low center of gravity is where it's at!

I got the 3.25 lift with 35s I like the look, it's a little flighty at 75mph, I'm gonna get the aev control arm brackets to help and a front trackbar Click image for larger version Name: image-2529051899.jpg Views: 229 Size: 24.4 KB ID: 548092

jesus christ



If you make it look like this you will rule all, I will envy your lift and hope to someday get a rough country so i can ride better than stock.

What makes you lean toward the rc 3.25? Is your decision mainly price driven?

Cost and high lift dont go together well especially when trying to keep a good ride. You want more than your 2 inch i take it. You can do it and it may be ok for you but i wouldn't recommend it personally..
