The “My Back Hurts” Thread

Since this is the teen page and most id say don't have tons of money unless parents get stuff for u... Who has 6 inch lifts and anyone have the experience with the 999 rough country lift ?

 

Do you plan on wheeling? I've got a really nice suspension set up for 3.5 inches for the same price if not less than any 6 inch set up and I can stuff 35s with some trimming and regearing. I'll be going to 35s this winter with an air locker and 4.56 gears.
If you don't go wheeling then a 6 inch lift will be fine till just ride like poop.

6inch lifts have the same clearance as a 3inch lift because of the drop bracket taking away from ground clearance.

Or if your 2wd I have a buddy on here who is doing 7 inches of lift with spindles and an OME lift so no drop bracket and he'll have loads of ground clearance and it'll ride fantastic.

I'm just giving you the facts and your best options before going to a 6 inch drop bracket lift

 

No I understand that most go with 3 inch for trailing but I've 6 inch do it also... I have a 4x4 trd offroad so I can't get 7 like the friend.. I do wheel sometimes but not everyday it's my daily driver.. I planned on getting the lift then control arms then kings/icon / fox later. Just didn't know if people had the rough country and how they felt about it

 

I've got rough country shocks on my international scout and they blow lol but I think most save up and get fabtech or procomp

 

Shocks suck good to know

 

Get some 5100s for the front and set them at 0 and you'll still get 6 inches of lift and it'll ride better or get fox 2.0s there not that expensive. I have them and I think I spent 450 a piece. For the rear i think you can get the ext length 5100s. There's a user who used a 6inch lift for wheeling and it was pretty damn sick but he ditched it for 3 inch lift last week actually lol.

 

Yeah I know one guys with procomp 6 inch total chaos contol arms and kings all around .. He wheels a lot more than me tho so I didn't know if I was going to go with procomp but the rough country

 

5100s

 

Aaron arf right? Red truck and all black projectors?

Oh I've got stock suspension I need to get rid of lol but 5100s are a great choice. I'm using the ext travel ones on my mid travel set up

 

No his truck is white don't know the red one

 

He went from this:

To this

 

I'm hoping for just enough to level the truck, don't want to lift yet.

Right now i'm sitting level because of ho horrid my leaf sag is :|

 

Get fox 2.0s if you want level and can afford them. There the entry model coilovers but I slapped them on and it leveled my truck without any adjustments and It rides like butter. I then added a bumper and now I've got king 700# coils coming to compensate for the bumper and I'm going to crank it up to 3-3.5 inches of lift and then my custom leaf pack and ext travel 5100s for the rear

 

why that high? You'll have .5" of downtravel

 

To fit the tires I already bought. I think I'll have more than that though. I'll be going with 2.5 coilovers at some point I just don't know when

 

The billies are all that i have researched doe

 

But foxes
