Default Lift Question

Hey Guys,

Found a good deal on a 3.25" rough country lift - coils, shocks, and spacers.

Wondering if anyone has any insight into if I could just start with the shocks and coils (2.5in) - and then put the spacers in (.75in) once I can swing some bigger tires.

Thoughts?

Thanks all

A 2.5" lift is plenty even with 35's... I wouldn't even bother with the spacers to be honest

I was thinking that too - just hoping that the shocks are pre-fab to fit the coils with spacers together.

Thinking it should work though.

That was my plan too, I have that kit. After putting it on, with the weight of my bumper/ winch, I ended up putting the spacer in the front to level it out. Did not put it in the rear, and the shocks are fine.

Awesome - found it for under $300, may be pulling the trigger soon.

Thanks!

Don't forget to ask them for the forum discount too, every bit helps.
