Anyone here running this exact kit?

http://www.roughcountry.com/dodge-suspension-lift-kit-31200c.html

I'd like to see what it looks like and know what size tires you're running. Also, any issues with the axle angle?

I have been told this kit is pretty solid and doesn't have any axle issues - just not sure how the angles are with it - any pics?

I want to run this incase I have/want/need to return the truck to stock at a later date.. or I'd go 4"..

I'm going to get the same kit for the same reasons. I actually don't care to go much higher but I want to be able to clear 35's on 20x10 negative offset wheels. RC won't say that 35's will fit, they will only commit to 33's, but I have seen plenty of rigs on the Custom Offsets website with the 3" kit and running 35's. I like the look of the 4" kit the best but not worth cutting things to get the extra inch.

You guys should be just fine with 35’s on that lift. Plenty of trucks running 35’s with just leveling kits so I don’t see you having any problems unless you go with a crazy wide wheel or a real negative offset wheel, then you might have some rubbing.

So far i have nothing negative to say about kit. The only thing is that my truck does not sit level and does sit a bit nose high. So im going to prolly add 1.5in spacers or springs later on.

I HATE that look! That nose high. So maybe if I order this - I should get a 1.5 inch spacer for the rear..

Yeah there a a bunch of rough country lifts not sitting level. I am one of them. I reccomend a zone lift. Here are measurements of my front and rear.
Front sits 2.5" low

I went with this kit but rather than using the spacers in the front because of the nose high look i've seen on others i went with the Bilstein 5100's set at 2.8 and am happy with the look. The ride is great too! I't didnt effect my MPG either.

Oh nice! So, you ordered the kit, and 5100s, used only the 5100s up front, with the UCAs, and spacers in rear.. Sits good? Pics?
