Default Need 1" more lift

Bought a rough country lift (3"0)....and I don't care what the advertisement says......it doesn't even come close to clearing 31" tires.....
Needless to say...I will, and recommend to others to stay away from rough country if at all possible....
Anyhoooooo....I'm lookin for just an extra inch to give me a little flexin room...most of the add-a-leafs and such are around 2".....I have a 2" BB, but don't want to put that back on...it'd be too much.
Does anybody make a 1" AAL and front coil spacer set?????
Thanx in advance......
Scott

the front spacer 2inchs thick,take out the stock rubber spacer .75 thick with the 2" spacer you will gain an 1 1/4 of lift.

There is nothing wrong with the Rough Country 3". That's what I started with. Full leaf packs of course. And I ran 31"s with little rubbing.

The Rough Country kits is a very good kit for the starter.

Did you put bigger bump stops in?

what about drop shackles? They add 1.25 so it would match the front!
not sure what BB is so please forgive me.
