So I ordered my 6.5 rough country lift and control arm drop brackets on Friday. I expected at latest they would be here today. I called only to find out there controll arms are on back order. Man that sucks. I had plans to install it and to go out with friends, but now I have to wait until July like 11th or something. I have already picked up my 33's and some 15x10 Crager 310 rims. So I'll be just holding them. The nice thing is that Rough Country is a great company to deal with. Rusty up there helped me out and made it ok even though I have to wait. Well, I just wanted to vent my problem.
Thanks for reading.

 

its a great kit. its worth the wait

 

Im sure it is just hate the wait. I get all anxious and ready to play, but oh well its life and crap happens.

 

the new X-Flex Control arms are new, and they cant seem to keep them in stock. they fly off the shelves as soon as they get them. but i will tell ya, they are absolute beef!

 

Jason over at Rough Country is a good dude too!

 

yeah i ordered them and have to wait to july 11th

 

yeah him and rusty but the other guy sucks...he couldnt give me a discount and i couldnt get hold of jason so i ended up paying normal

 

I got my 4.5" inch kit with the the x-flex uppers and lowers... My dealer told me they were on back order and i wouldnt get them for a couple weeks... Well that day when i got home from work, the ups truck was in my driveway and the x-flex control arms to my suprise were right with everything else... I must have got the last set!!!

This was a couple months ago!

 

What's stopping you? Install it with the stock arms and go PLAY! It's designed for both stock and aftermarket arms. When you receive your new arms later on, stick em on, adjust caster, wheelbase, and pinion angle and you're good to go.

 

Can I really do that b/c they were saying that it will pull the axle back too far. If you guys think it will work Ill tell him to ship the lift with out them to me then ship them when they come in.

 

Yeah rusty got me no shipping and then hooked me up since I was having to wait and already had planned for it to show.

 

nah at 6.5" and drop brackets, your setup will be like a 2.5" lift with stock arms cuz the brackets lower the arms 4". If you ran stock arms at 6.5" with no brackets then yeah it will be pulled back pretty good. i ran stock arms with the drop brackets at 4.5 and my axle was a bit too far forward but it worked till i got some RC's flex arms so with your 6.5 it should be just right.

 

That is cool I called today and told them to go ahead and ship the kit out on monday without the arms and to ship the arms when they come in. I painted the 15x10 craigers black today. Ill have the tires installed asap and then do the lift when it comes. I will try to post pics online of it all done up.
