2014+ Suspension Lifts

zimm zoom · July 13, 2015

How do you like the rear leafs? How do they compare for ride against stock? I have heard others here say they are too stiff. Have you towed anything with that set up?

Yes, it was stiffer. But I am used to it now. Made a hell of a difference when lugging around a rzr 800 side by side in the back. It just didn't make sense to have the nice Fox coliovers on the front, and slip blocks in the rear. I wanted more of a full package. The new leafs only added like $300 to the cost of the entire project.

bds 6" kit right? If it is do you have the rear leaf or the add a leaf and the 5" rear block? Thank you

How high did the rear of your truck end up being? I am guessing a 5" block should put you around 45 inches?

I will try and measure it this week, but by looking at it it's 1" or so lower in the back. I just ordered the zone add a leaf last night and i'm hoping it cures this problem. I have the fox 2.0 shocks in the rear. Unless you actually plan on off roading the truck alot the front fox coil overs are a waste of money and they make the truck ride like a rock in the front. The cheaper longer struts that come in the basic kit are plenty good enough for as much offroad driving as your going to do with a truck.

Please measure before and after the add a leafs go in. Is the comment regarding coil over shocks based on first hand knowledge? This is the first time that I am hearing that the coil overs ride like a rock. Everyone else to date have said it was pretty smooth with the coil over set up. I was worried about the rear leafs being too stiff.

I have personally rode in both setups and the fox front coil overs are noticeably stiffer.

DS doesn't offer a add a leaf I believe just 5 inch blocks or a new set of leaf springs.

I have the 5 inch block but it rides great.

I only tow a small a trailer for my Rzr and I have no problems with the blocks towing that either.

Richard10688, I am about to purchase the 6" BDS kit with the Fox shock upgrade and will use the block in rear. My truck currently has a 2.5" RC level and I like the stance. My question is does yours sit about the same or does it have a little bit of rake?

I wish this process wasn't so expensive or I would already have everything I want for my truck. I just received the 35" tire yesterday and the itch for lift is getting worse by the moment.

Dang champagne taste and a beer budget?

bds offers an add a leaf, but I bought the zone ones being that they're half the price and the same thing. When I contacted bds they told me on the crew cab trucks need an add a leaf with the 5" block or the rear will sit lower.

Alright guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on a suspension lift. Looking to get into a 6" or 7" rough country. Anyone have any input on either of these kits before I move forward? I will be running 35s on some 20x9 +20 wheels. It's just hard to decide without seeing either of these lifts in person. Thanks in advance.

Robert.jean1 · July 19, 2015

When I spoke to Rough Country about their 6" lift they told me I could go no larger than 295/60R20 and that was one of the major reasons I chose to go with the BDS 6" as they said I could run a 35/12.5R20.

I've got 35x12.5x20 on my 6" RCX lift [emoji4]

Anybody have any pics of their truck with the 4.75 rough country lift kit? If so how much lift did you get out of it what is the new fender height?

WhitediamondChevy · July 19, 2015

rough country 4.75 lift, 20x10 Moto Metal 970's with - 24 offset, 305/55R20 Toyo Open Country AT II's Extreme. Minor rubbing in reverse at full lock on the plastic trim. Not bad at all.
