I know i know. Not ANOTHER lift question but i have been outta the loop for some time. Looking at a riugh country 3.5 lift and am looking for advice from those that have one. Also trying to see what else i would need for this lift to make it "complete" heres a link to the one im looking at. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00..._1427934233860

 

Plenty wrong with it. Drop pitman arm is a terrible idea. Would never recommend a dropped track bar bracket. Fixed lower control arms make no sense at all. The shocks are not known to be very good. Other than that, you should be all set.

 

Buy a quality lift. There are several threads of guys who bought that lift and are slowly replacing parts due to low quality. No offense to rough country but there are better options.

Also do you need that much lift? At that point drive shaft angles are an issue and additional wear on the rest of your suspension parts.

 

Believe me, he is right. I am currently replacing my Zone lift with a Rock Krawler lift right now. My 3 inch Zone lift is more like a 1 1/2 BB right now.

 

Go back to the thread stuck right to the top of this modified area. Read about the specific components, you could even compare them to what was in your last lift. The RC lift you are looking at is 'complete', it just uses some semi-questionable components to get there for the low, low price of ...

 

After a little debate inended upngoing with the rock krawler 3.5 lift kit to start with and will upgrade over time as needed. Eventually inplan on moving up to 37's. But for now im gonna go with 35 trail grapplers on 15" mb tko wheels.

 

Good choice.

 

Thanks. First upgrade will be front driveshaft and shocks. Just gotta find a good driveshaft to go with.

 

Great choice on kits! You will be very happy with that setup and you can upgrade it as you feel the need to as your build evolves.

That is a great choice. I had a Rough Country lift - no good off road.
