I'm looking to get a rough country lift as well. Maybe I'm a retard, but I can't find the info to PM rough country for their discounted prices. HELP!

I found it in the vendors list thread. Gives user names of the vendor reps on the forum.

I went for the 3.25 inch lift. Its a good lift for the cost, granted i think the shocks could be more soft. Can be a little harsh on bumpy roads.. but other then that ive had no complaints

Thought about that but I'm using my brother's shop so I don't want to tie up his lift longer than I have to. Lol I'll survive for 24 hours.....I just use beer and xbox to distract me

Finally got it installed!! A buddy and I started at around 9:30pm and were done by about 2:30am...needless to say I don't have any pics yet but will have later today as work has decided to interrupt my days off.

All in all the install was pretty straight forward, but the instructions could use a bit of work. There were references to part bags I didn't have and instructions with incorrect wrench sizes. Had a 20 min WTF moment finishing the rear because the axle was off center and the sway bar and link were rubbing the tire on the driver side, but once it was lowered to the ground everything shifted over and sat properly. Re-centered the front axle with the adjustable track bar and took her for a drive. up to 80mph with no vibrations or DW, just need to recenter the steering wheel again. I thought I had it but it's still off.

I have one left over bracket that is not referenced or shown anywhere in the instructions or the online video It's an "L" shaped piece with 2 holes on one side and rounded on the other side with a single hole....

That bracket should be for the steering stab when using the Trackbar relocation bracket. Since your using an adj Trackbar you won't need it as your steering stab should stay in the stock position

I went from 20" to 24" so after settling and sagging I should end up right at the 3.5". I can't wait to take her for a drive lol.

Ok that would make sense. Thanks for all the advice Croce!
