Rough country 3in lift any good?

[doozer78]

Going into a 2500 or 3500 with overloads?

2500 denali no overload. Just got wheels and tires mounted and balanced. Was waiting to install lift till wheels were ready for pick up.

There can't be that much difference between the suspensions on the new 2020 trucks and the previous models. I've got cranked keys, diff drop, shock extenders, Ready Lift UCA's, Bilstein 5600's, and a BDS steering stabilizer kit, skinny 35's. Rides well with 48 psi in the tires, just like a 3/4 ton truck with low air pressure, still stiff and a little bouncy, but still as good or better then stock. Many be 2.5 inches of lift, maybe a little more.... any more and I think I would look into a 4 inch bracket lift, to keep all the angles in line, steering, CV's, alignment like stock.

yes my installer insisted that it was a great kit and that rough country isn’t the same quality of old. 

 

i still wanted better shocks so i opted for the Readylift 3.5/3” SST kit!

 

If people were on the fence like me, and I had access to good shocks, i’d put the rough country lift on there and replace the shocks with fox or bilstein shocks instead. you’re looking at about $1000 all in... and still the cheapest 3” lift kit out there!!

agreed.....RC isnt a shock company, i would not run their shocks.....I ran 2 other " lift kit" companies "shocks" and they were horrible....and i yanked off bilsteins to do it on 1 of them....lesson learned.....use actual shock companies for shocks

yes my Bilstein shocks on my ReadyLIFT 3.5/3" SST kit are a definite upgrade over stock. Much better ride. Probably can be attributed to both the new tires and the shocks, but overall, it's definitely a better ride than stock.
