Rough country 3” with Uca”s..

[Ratket]

Well I got home tonight from work tonight to find a little surprise, funny thing is the steps are what gave it away... then I looked at it and was like ... wtf.. so my wife took it upon her self to get new steps and the rough country 3” kit with the coil spacer and the new upper control arms installed on our truck while I was at work today. Looks pretty good, rides like normal, it’s as tall as my stock 3/4 ton was now, my wife had to have the Neighbor back her in the garage because she was worried she might scrape. I asked her “ well what type of tires should we do now”, and she said I dunno, when I decide you will find out when you get home lol..
back fenders measure at 40-1/2
Front fenders measure at 40-1/4.
Meh she is happy so I don’t care.

Looks good.


Can I ask you to get us some pictures of the front cv joint angles ?


Have you tested 4 wheel drive for any vibrations or noises ?

 

[Ratket]

4x4 is fine, no weird noises.. angles look acceptable

 

[Joes1500]

Good and thanks


I'm interested to see how this kit turns out over the next couple months. I keep reading on here that the 2.8 setting on the bilsteins are causing vibrations. I hope you dont develop any issues , but am interested.


I think if I decide to go this route, I will go with a 2 tgc rear spacer to keep some rake.



Please report back with your experience.

I have this same lift sitting in the garage waiting to get installed along with 17” Pro Comp wheels. I’m a working man so buying everything one piece at a time. Got two of the tires delivered today, 35X12.5R17 Ironman All Country MTs. Gotta get the cash together for the last two tires and gonna get it all put on.

Looks good man! Wish my wife would surprise me with truck mods. I usually get yelled at for mine.

Looks good, Could you take a picture of the front driveshaft angle at the transfer case (not at the front diff)

It will be the same as factory. This lift does not drop the differential.

 

[Ratket]

^^ what he said- the front diff doesn’t move.

Here ya go... this parking lot is slightly sloped.

 

[Joes1500]

So how big is the rear coil spacer ?

Sorry for all the questions.

 

[Ratket]

I don’t know, prolly 1” it’s behind the fender liner, I may climb in there and try to measure, or just call rough country and ask.

Ok thanks. I just thought you know of hand .

 

[Ratket]

Nope, like I said - wife did it with out telling me lol

I’ve got the Rough Country 2.5” spacer lift with their upper control freshly installed and aligned and everything is perfect! Their UCAs say for 3” minimum lift but they work perfect for the 2.5 and the alignment tech and dealership tech day the ball joint angles look great. Just tested the 4x4 today in this April snow and all is well!

Great looking truck!!! How’s it holding up after nearly a year of use? Looking at similar setup

 

[Ratket]

I’m not fond of the spacer set up, I want to switch to the eibach kit.
