Rough country 3.5 lift/level

305/55/20 Cooper discoverery

FB_IMG_1580225322536.jpg

I would love to see more pictures of this set-up.  I don't remember seeing anyone else on this forum with pictures of their RC 3.5' inch lift and I would like to do the same with 285/55r22 tires. The thought process is that it will achieve the same look and balance as GM's 2" Trail Boss lift + a 1.5" front level but at 75% of the price and the addition of coil overs.

my 6.2 max tow slt  with 3 in. superlift . lifted actually only 2.75  with  305 /55/ 20  cooper st maxxx tires  33.4 x 12.5 .  Hostile rims 20x9  +10  but needed a 5 mm spacer  to clear caliper making them basically a +5.  bracket removal and trimming of mud flap  now has no rub .

How does the SuperLift ride?  Been looking at them for a while.  Truck looks great.  Thanks

Is your truck level with the 1.5 inch lift ?  I was planning on the RC 2 inch.

Truck looks great. That’s the size I’ve been looking at but I wasn’t aware they made a ridge grappler in that size that was non-LT.  Can you post a couple close ups of the tire and tread. I’d like to see if it’s much tread depth difference.

Thanks! Here you go...let me know if you want any more...compared to LT version, you can see the tread depth is a little less, and the side wall is a little less aggressive. But they are still a nice upgrade from stock tires. They basically ride like the stock tires, and they only weigh a few pounds more than the stock tires. Only minor negative thing when compared stock tires...these tires have a little hum. My wife doesn’t notice it, but I do. Not bad though, just more than stock. Overall very pleased with them...

Dang! I mistyped in my first post! These are 275/60R20. Sorry about that! It’s the biggest non-LT ridge grappler you can get. I would have loved 275/65r20, but didn’t want to go up to LT.

Ya just a 1.5” in the front. Nothing in rear yet. Have airbags to install for towing my RV, I’m assuming it’ll bump it up 1/2-1”.

    • I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!
    • I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be. 
    • I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!
    • I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify. 
    • I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
