Rough Country Sus lift opinions

I have run their lifts on a few of my Jeeps with success. Didn't know how their springs held up on the bigger trucks. I've got a 250 standard cab, 4x4.
Any opinions would be helpful. Looking for around 4in to fit 35's

Re: Rough Country Sus lift opinions

I have a 4" rough country on my PSD and I put one on my old 93 351, I have 315s under mine Im sure you could clear 35s, cant beat the price. Its a rough ride, if I had to do it over again I wouldve left it at an add-a-leaf kit but thats just because Im tired of climbing in and out of it.

Re: Rough Country Sus lift opinions

roughcountry lift kits are made by superlift. most of the kits i get have superlift stickers on them.

Re: Rough Country Sus lift opinions

Re: Rough Country Sus lift opinions

Any lift for a OBS will suck its just the front spring thats the problem. Doesn't matter where you get the springs or if it just a RS kit lift. The only way to lift and have a good ridding truck is using a RS kit and SD frt and rear springs. lots of posts on this or contact me, I came up with this 7-8 years ago and hundreds have done this mod I would suspect by now. I can get you everything you need and provide phone support.

Min lift is aprox 4" with V codes I have had one customer use Excursion springs to just have a 3" lift+- and a softer ride quality..so far he loves that combo. You could also use these codes that would varrie the front lift height:
S — 2C34-5310-AAB, 4,000 lb.
T — 2C34-5310-ABB, 4,400 lb.
U — 2C34-5310-ACB, 4,800 lb.
V — 2C34-5310-ADB, 5,200 lb.
W — 2C34-5310-AEA, 5,600 lb.
X — 2C34-5310-AFA, 6,000 lb.
