That's a cool kit, and 1 of the ones that I considered when looking. I ended up getting the Superlift 3.5" kit that comes with new new control arms, and doesn't require you to cut the rear crossmember. Just installed it this weekend, along with a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks set at the factory setting.

Nice man!! We need some pics , you got the bilsteins for the rear? How does it ride? I want to get some foxs 2.0 performance series shocks 980-24-664 , they are only 0.300 in smaller than the Rough Country ones i have so i might give it a try

This is the superlift 3.5” front with Bilstein 5100 shocks set at factory ride height.

The rear is a 2.5” rear block for now. I plan to swap the rear to a 3” block and Bilstein 5100 shocks.

Does the superlift kit come with a diff drop?

Yes it comes with about a 1.5-2” diff drop, this is what the CV angles look like.

Damn that cv angles looks way better than mine , so you diff clears the cross member?

Does are 5100 on the front?

Yes I have 5100 shocks on the front at stock ride height. The rear crossmember needs to be hit with a hammer a little bit, but it’s not a lot at all. I have plenty of clearance. The beauty of the kit is that they put a thick 2” spacer in the front diff mount, and a thin 1/4” spacer in the rear diff mount. Result is that you don’t have to cut your crossmember.

Sounds like superlift is the way to go for a 3.5" kit. Angles look fine. How's the ride?

Rides great man, better than the 2.5” rough country kit I took off, but that could be because of those bilstein shocks too.

Auto correct

I like the detailed instructions for the 3.5 superlift. I noticed u have to compress the coil spring and then turn the front shock 180° before installing the strut spacer. Looks like some thought went into this lift.
