Default Too Much for RC BB?

O.k now i know this isn't extreme in any terms but it sure did get the adrenaline pumping a couple times. The video didn't catch it but when I first started to approach the trench going up hill we had to go at it at an angle and almost laid it on its side in the trench.

Ok anyways to the question. I ordered a Rough Country BB with no shocks just the extensions. Is the stuff you see in this video too much for that lift and no shocks?

P.S. Again I apologize for the extremely shaky camera. it was controlled by my 13 year old niece.

It did it stock, I don't see how a budget boost would really affect anything, except by sitting you up a little higher, and maybe making it a little more tippy???




I've seen quite a few people do amazing things with just their TF BB. I'm not sure how the RC compares, but I think if you can do it stock, you can do it 2 inches higher...

Rough Country lift is just as good or even better than all the other 2.5 lifts out there...these guys have been in the biz for 30 + yrs...

Also any lift will make your vehicle more capable than stock...

If i was you id buy the 2.2 series shocks...its only another couple hundred bucks on top of the 2.5 inch lift...they are damn good shocks...

If you havent lifted it yet, dont worry about spacers.... you only go "out" when you go "up"
