Spindle/Coil Lift Vs. Rough Country Lift

ap577 · Feb 25, 2012

What do you all prefer and why?

I'm looking to buy a lift kit but still can't decide which lift I want to go with. Either a 4" Spindle and RC 3" Suspension lift, or a Rough country 6" Suspension lift.

Whats the difference between handling and stuff?

You probably get more clearance with the spindle lift but besides that what else is the difference and what do you all think is better

And whats more stressing on your trucks front end

I think the 6" kit will be a safer bet as it replace the crossmember and some other components that will keep nearly the stock geometry.
By usin the 3" springs with the spindles you could possibly put alot of stress on the ball joints

Agree and agree. I run the six inch RC lift.

What kind of decrease in mpg did you experience with the 6 inch?

that all depends on what size tires you were wanting to run and i have the coils and spindles and have had zero issues and the ride is good, plus installation is easy as hell

I've got the rc 6" with spacers on top of the coils and honestly it rides better with the spacers imo. And my mileage with stock size tires stayed around 18- 21 on the highway. When I went with different tires I'm still getting 18 on the highway. Hope thus helps.

Got about 6k on them and can barely tell lol I'm actually due for a rotation next week lol. In a complete down pour of rain I never had an issue with hydro-plaining. I love them.
