Did anyone install this kit w/ a adjustable trackbar up front, instead of the drop pitman arm? I would like to hear about that option...

I have the Rough Country X-series 4" lift on mine and could not be happier. I did add a dropped pitman arm which seems to keep things more in-line.

so if I understand this right, the only different between the 4" and 6" is the coil ?

Default A little flexy

I got a little flexy with the 3.5 this weekend. Note that I went back to the stock control arms to dial back the caster. Adjustable control arms are in my future.

Why did you have to dial back the caster?

They're only on there temporarily. I was having a slight issue with the CAs that came with the kit. I spoke with RC about the issue and they have MORE than taken care of the issue.

I don't want to get into the details, but note that Rough Country is a company who takes care of their customers and stands behind their products. They have my back so I have theirs.

GREAT JOB RC!

Yo I have the 4" RC lift and I have not had any issues with it yet, and will be getting new Front LCAs in the next few weeks and then replacing the Rear LCAs. Good to go in my book.
