 I would just piece it out.....or mix and match....probably the diff would need addressing as well

 

get UCA of your choice, buy some keys, buy a block and get shocks you want.....would at least put an eibach or bilstein shock on there...they are afterall suspension companies...KING or Fox would be really nice ..that would be my thought anyways

 

they all look the same at any given height ....put some decent shocks on for sure...

 

 

yeah my installer ended up getting his hands on a ReadyLIFT 3.5"/3" kit that I'm going to have installed next week hopefully with the new wheels and tires!

Who are you using? I've used Rocky's Tuff Trucks in Gallatin 2 or 3 times. He's great!

Awesome! Congrats. I work in the music industry and thats how I found out about Rocky. Most of the country music artists in Nashville use him for their truck builds.

Superlift also makes a nice 3"lift which i seen nobody mention. I'm getting ready to install mine in the next week or 2 just waiting for my wheels and tires to get mounted. I've seen a couple people on here that have them. Looks pretty good

Just installed last Friday. Very happy with setup. Shocks are a little stiffer than factory Z71 Ranchos but still rides very nice. Installer who does all the lifts for local dealer where I purchased indicated this kit has made major improvements over prior Rough Country kits. He seemed impressed with it and ran into no problems with the install.  Running 315/60R20 w/ 20" x 9"+1 offset wheels. Very small trimming to the lower plastic valance that I ultimately took off anyway.  Looks way better without.

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!!

true. About $100-120 cheaper and you don't waste the purchase of the shocks that come with RC lift!

So I’m assuming you’re talking about this kit 

https://superlift.com/?d=855&dt=80

 

It says it fits 2500/3500 but doesn’t fit with overload springs. I’ve never seen a 3500hd without overloads so wtf are they talking about?
