Rough Country Vertex coilovers???

In theory, yes they should work since you already have aftermarket UCAs. But your CV joints might not like it much.

 

Yea....kinda what I was thinking

 

Just keep an extra set of front axles on hand and you’ll be fine lol

 

So with the 3.5” you achieved 3” of lift? How are the CV angles? I’m debating between the 3-3.5. I’m afraid the 3” will be too little and come in under 3” of lift.

 

Everything I've seen shows that at the 3.5 setting you should settle at 3" of lift. I'm getting ready to pull the pin as well for these. The jeep guys seem to love them. When I called and talk to RC they even mention adding the 1/4" into the driver side preload so you can skip the plate.

 

Getting ready to order a set. Are the reservoir brackets mounted to your sway bar attachments? The only thing I am hesitant on is mounting those brackets.

 

No I’m curious about going with the 3.5” ones. If they settle at 3” being adjusted all the way down, that seems like it would be the way to go. Better to do that than buy the 3” lift ones and have to adjust them to raise the truck higher, thus increase pre load as well

 

Exactly dude, my thoughts as well, I’d rather have the extra lift and go down if possible

 

Agreed. They’ll ride better with the adjustment collar up all the way.

 

From my understanding you unbolt those brackets and then slide the plate under and bolt back over the bracket. That’s how mine are installed.

 

Does anyone know what pound springs come on them? For instance most Fox and Kings come with 600lb springs but can be ordered special with 650 or 700... Just curious what the spring rate is on these

 

Mine have 600lb springs on them. Seen some heavy rigs with these and they haven’t sagged much, if any. With a full size bumper they may a bit depending.

 

Thanks! That’s exactly what I needed to know. At the moment the only weight up front is a hidden winch. But I’ll definitely be adding weight in the future

 

I asked the same question to the two that installed mine (I was there to learn lol). They said they didn’t have any sag at all and one had a steel SSO slimline bumper with a winch and the other had a full size hybrid bumper (I think SSO as well). With a winch and full size bumper you might get some sag, but most people have said with 600# springs things don’t sag more than a half inch or so.

 

That’s good to know! I’m sure with time they’ll settle some. But even a half inch isn’t bad at all. And you can easily raise them a touch to get that half inch back if necessary. I may eventually do a hybrid tube style bumper. But I’d get full skids first. My stock OR skids are beat up

 

Yelp, just went and done it. Placed my order. Should have fronts by Monday. The rears are out of stock. Time to order UCAs

 

Update us please when you got it all together! Did you order the 3.5?

 

Yes

 

Following......

 

Got my fronts in today... rears are out of stock. Just from unboxing them, they look good. The “clickers” feel good. Just based on appearances alone they seem very good. Nice and weighty, they don’t feel cheap like other rough country products I’ve handled in the past.
