3 Inch Rc With Control Arms

rhino1 · December 7, 2010

I am wanting to get a 3 inch rc lift with 20x9 BMF rims and 33x12.5 MTZ's. Just trying to do it right the first time. I don't want my tires to stick out too far though. Can anyone comment or send pics of 3 inch lifts.

Do a search on here,A lot of guys on here have had issues with that kit

I had that kit on my truck and was not happy with it at all. I bought the kit with the new UCAs and they hit my strut springs. The truck rode terrible. Save yourself some time and money and just get a 2.5" spacer or just go big right away.

Then do not buy the RC 3" kit. Please search this forum. I am one of the many victims of the Junk Country 3" lift on this site.

i have a fantastic idea! you send me 429.95, plus shipping, and i'll send you back a box that i'll take a shit in!!! its practically the same damn thing! save yourself the time and money. if you're really set on 3 inches or so, go to zoneoffroad.com they offer a 2 inch leveling kit and 1.5inch body lift combo it has a great look to it.

Op I would go with a 3" body lift and a leveling kit. It will cost about the same, get you a couple of inches higher and it's a very solid combo.

4" Rancho Lift or 4.5" BDS kit.... put your mind at ease.

I have the Rancho kit. It's listed as a 4" kit, but it's really about the same as everyone else's 6" kit. I'm very pleased with the Rancho kit.

Go with the leveling kit and body lift. Like stated same price.

Check out Zone offroad. They sell some combo's that are pretty good. Rc level kit is fine and common on this site.

I doubt you would have fit the wheel and tires you wanted with that lift. Too wide from what I experienced. But it all depeds on backspacing. BMF is usually a 4.5 -5" back space and you def would not have fit. That combo rubs on a guys truck on here with a 6" BDS lift cuz of the rims.

People tend to "like" what they have on their trucks, regardless if its actually crap or not.

I think it has something to do with the saying "misery loves company". They'll feel better about the piece of crap they installed by convincing you (and therefore themselves) that its a great addition.

Yea i "liked" mine when it was on for a few months. After that.... i hated it with a passion
