Have my eye on this kit for my truck, seems like a great price.

http://www.roughcountry.com/suspensi...ram_combo.html

I have a few questions regarding it however:

-What are your opinions on the kit itself? Good quality?
-Will this give me any vibration/death wobble?
-The truck has stock 17" Rims with (I believe) 31.5" Tires (Stock Goodyear's). Would there be any problem keeping these tires and rims until the tires are worn down with this kit? Think it would look weird?

I am more or less just looking for some more height, nothing too extravagant. Any help is much appreciated!

-Albert

Edit: Forgot to add that this is a 2011 Ram 1500, 4x4, Crew Cab SLT.

I think the kit is great. I have it on my 2012 ram minus the body lift. The suspension part was fairly easy to install. If you do it your self it was easier to unbolt the upper a arm and brake calipers to get the strut assembly back in. The rear was real easy. I have no complaints about the ride.

I'm going to try this lift when I get back! I'm doing the whole kit! 35's is all I need...

I have been looking into this kit too. The spacers seem like a standard install. The body lift, I've read some threads about and looks time consuming but definitely doable. Price is good on it to fit 35's on the truck.

Website says you can run 35x12.50 tires in stocks rims/offset. Any opinions if true?

no you can't run a 12.5" wide tire on stock wheels without rubbing

You would need 1/4 inch spacers for the front wheels with stock rims.

I installed the rcx 2.5" level and it was easy. Good instructions, followed them to a T and no problems. No spring compressor needed. Im not planning on replacing my stock 33" tires so I'm curious to see what it would look like with the 1.25 body lift. I don't think it would look ridiculous but I'm not sure. Still debating.
