Rough country isnt a lift too drool over.....the sooner you learn that the sooner you wake up boy. thats a lift you gotta rebuild every four months. And disappoints you in the flex department

Not gonna do hardly any flexing at all. Its all mud down here. And i may not go with RC, Just looking right now. And for me and my need, I wont care if it rides rough or anything. And not really drooling abt the lift.

its a 4.7 and it cost $3200 from the shop plus all the thing from autozone to install... fluids and what not. close to 4k when said and done.

i love it. you can build one cheaper but i went with a retardedly high lift cam and all forged internals. custom forged dished pistons so i could get 4.7L out of a 30 over block. and high compression for propane converion in future.

i had him build the short block (lower half) that price included redoing and reparing my head. i already had it full ported. and that was his cost on parts. i took it out and put it in myself.
