Nope, stay away from Rough Country, hit up @Nick@GotExhaust he will set you up with what you need ... don't cheap out, @Quick_Shifter can also help you out with a better optionWhat’s up everyone I have a question. I want to buy the Rough Country 6” lift for my 2019 Ram Laramie without air ride. Should I upgrade the control arm to the forged upper control arm they offer?
Rough Country is an advertisement company not a lift company. @Nick@GotExhaust is a preferred vendor on this forum, he knows our trucks what they like, how they react and how to set them up. A few pm’s back and forth with him and you’ll have a kit on your doorstep. Is your 2019 the new body style or classic?What’s up everyone I have a question.

Can we get a picture of the brake line relocation brackets they use in the front?My truck came with an RC 6" lift but it's a 2WD mall crawler so whatever
If it were a 4x4 I would probably go with something else as everyone else has stated but being a long wheelbase vehicle, it's not like it's going the places my Wrangler is going regardless. The shocks alone on my Jeep were $3k
With that said, it rides fine to the mall and back with stock control arms (actually, I'm assuming they're stock... I wouldn't even know ha!)...

At the end of the day, it's just metal holding up metal and only has to look purty.
I want to see his as the passenger side alignment cam bolt is installed backwards. I’d like better angles of the imagesHere are screenshots of the brake line relocation brackets they use in the front ...

Doesn't matter if it's backwards, the cam bolts are still going to spin the correct amount of degrees whether the washer and nut are on the inside or outside ... they probably did it to get better leverage to torque them down after they took them off ....I want to see his as the passenger side alignment cam bolt is installed backwards.

You are right in the cam bolts work the same but wrong with better leverage. The nut to loosen has miles of room in the back. And didn’t come from the factory like that. If they were trying to make their job easier they would have flipped the front cam bolts too. So I’ll chalk it up to careless workDoesn't matter if it's backwards, the cam bolts are still going to spin the correct amount of degrees whether the washer and nut are on the inside or outside ... they probably did it to get better leverage to torque them down after they took them off ...
Thank you
So if the cam bolts work the same who cares how they are inserted ? Not everything is careless work homie ... seriously .... how do you know if the guy is left handed or not, to him it's better leverage this way, we don't know that right ? lolYou are right in the cam bolts work the same but wrong with better leverage.

Right handed or wrong handed limiting your working area is no good. A crooked steering wheel still works the same and I would call that careless too.So if the cam bolts work the same who cares how they are inserted ?

Having worked at a tire shop doing alignments myself for a good while it doesn't matter how the cam bolts go in ... when we replaced cam bolts on lifted trucks the owners actually wanted the nuts and washer on the inside away from the clear view .... not everything is careless work homie stop it lol ...
How is that limiting the working area ? Dude you are seriously reaching here .. water is still going to get to the cam bolts whether it's facing forward or backward lol ... nothing careless about the bolts being inserted that way on his lift kit install ....stop it lol ...Right handed or wrong handed limiting your working area is no good.

My point is it didn’t come apart that way mostly because wind pushing water and debris into the threads causing corrosion and rust shortening the life of the poor cam bolt. Then the next guy goes to align it can’t get it loose so he skips it and gets it “good enough” it’s a chain reaction LOL
Look under your truck.How is that limiting the working area ? Dude you are seriously reaching here .. water is still going to get to the cam bolts whether it's facing forward or backward lol ... nothing careless about the bolts being inserted that way on his lift kit install ....stop it lol ...
You need an impact gun to loosen the camber bolts?Look under your truck.
Then grab a 1/2” impact gun and get on that alignment bolt (it’s a 24mm socket) then imagine it was facing the other way. Then tell me it’s not limiting your working area.
I’m in the rust belt unfortunately it actually matters.
I’ve witnessed alignment techs not being able to get bolts out and skipping them and saying I’ll get it as close as I can. Another reason why I opened my own shop. I’m more picky than the average person. And still in the dying breed of people that still pride their work. It’s a gift and a curse
