RCX 4" Lift INSTALLED

[Soundwave]

Hello all. Hopefully this is my last transformation for a while. For those of you I PMed who had a similar lift, thank you for all the advice, it helped sway me in a lot of different directions.

I installed my Rough Country 4" lift yesterday with my father-in-law at his shop. I must say, it was quite the operation and took around 9 hours with breaks. It was a great time though and I learned a lot. It's a pretty extensive process, but with the right tools I'd call it a moderate install.

I love the height of the truck, I think anything more and you need 37s. My 35s looked stuffed with just a leveling kit, but not they look perfect. I paired the suspension lift with the Bilstein shocks set to .07" and that made it almost level. The ride it surprisingly great. It's stiffer, but I wouldn't call it rougher. I've only driven around 60 miles so far, mostly freeway, but I have no complaints at all. The RCX kit was great quality and looks great on the truck with it painted black. If anyone else is thinking of doing this install themselves, PM me and I have plenty of pointers and tips I wish I had lol.

TL;DR

Suspension lift: RCX 4"
Measurements at wheel well: 42.25" in front, 42.5" in rear
Wheels: XD Misfits 20x9 +0 offset with 35x1250 General AT2
Does it fit in my garage? YES with a couple inches to spare (81.5" tall garage door)

And of course PICS!















Fits in garage proof!

Looks sick man..what's your measurements? Makes me wish I would've went with a 4" lift from the start..I still im going to add one on top of my current set up!

I love it like that. I think its the perfect height.
Im thinking about getting the same 4" Kit from RCX with 35s on my 20" OEM Wheels.
Thing is my truck is a 2WD :/

Looks great! Same lift I have on my truck. Fyi...Make sure rough country sent you the correct front sway bar links and front diff brackets. I had to call them to replace the links because they sent links for a 6" lift and the brackets angle where your diff meets the driveshaft is at a high angle if they didn't send correct ones. There's a few guys that had this problem.

Looks great! Would you be able to take a picture down the side. I Just ordered 0mm offset wheels and I'm curious how far they're going to stick out. I'll have a similar setup 1.25 BL and 2.5/1" level. Beautiful truck.

Thank you all! The measurements I listed are from the ground to the highest point of the fender. I measured again after alignment and the front is just under 42.5" still around 42.25" and the rear is 42.5". I'm perfectly level basically.

I'm guessing I'm a little lower than junior because I have a mild A/T not a M/T.

I'm running the toyos open country a/t 2

Hm, that's weird. Maybe the flares???

 

[junior81]

Might be flares... I'm running same set up with bilsteins at 0.7 did you check the brackets and sway bar links?

 

[Soundwave]

Yeah, that was all pretty self explanatory. We checked everything twice over...except the track bar, which I realized when I got home haha. It feels great to drive. I'm gonna double check all the bolts and nuts in a few weeks.
