Looking at gettin a 4.5" RC suspension lift installed here in the next week and mounting on some 32" tires. Also considering a day star budget booster 3/4 inch front coil spacer. Will this give a visually noticeable front height difference or what? Anybody else runnin a similar setup?

Did you already buy the RC kit? If not, I'd rethink it

JWheeler

Why?

Search rough country problem on here,Some people had problems with bushings wearing out fast or rear springs not fitting.

Bushings, leafs too short creating bad shackle angles and a super rough ride, crappy shocks, track bars that are bad right out of the box, etc. etc.

Search a little, you'll see how little good things there are to say

Yeah, RC bushings suck. The rear springs are usually too short from what I've seen as well. The only RC parts on mine are LCAs and shocks, and the LCAs are getting replaced asap.
Anyways, that spacer added up front will definitely be noticable. 1/2" difference in front to rear height was noticable on mine.

I haven't bought it yet but I'm just lookin for somethin cheap to get outta bone stock until I get a rear locker. One of my friend runs a rough country and loves it and I drove it around the block and it rides pretty good

SC_digger11

Thanks! You have any pics?

JWheeler

I there is a rough country lift on the rig I just got. It looks like a decent kit at a good price. But I agree with the spring problem, I am waiting on relocation brackets for the shackles to come. That has been my only problem.

Don't rush the lift. Save up enough to buy quality. You'll be replacing each of those Rough Country parts one by one in the not too far future if you go that route

SC_digger11

Are there any other better quality kits for about a $5-600 budget?

kirknd4spd

Yeah, but mine isn't a 4.5" lift. I've got a 1.5" lift I pieced together myself, on 33's. I can post a pic if you want.

For an affordable lift that is decent quality, I'd look into Zone. I prefer Rubicon Express personally, but its $1128 for the 4.5" Superflex kit from Serious Offroad.

The current RC kits aren't that bad. Their quality has improved over the past few years. Their bushings still aren't the greatest, but the rest of the lift components are decent quality.

ZINGGG

It's not the answer you want to hear but you should honestly save until you have a larger budget. Or else you're going to be half-a**ing your lift.

Who knows, you may be happy with it. But I wouldn't suggest settling for RC.

I appreciate it big time. Did a little lookin and i've found a 3inch that im gonna stick with. Dont have the money to adjust the drive shaft length and angles and all for the 4.5. maybe near future tho so like i said thanks!
