    Us Toyota guys are the main ones to bash rough country laughable... go to some Ford / Chevy sites 50-70% of those guys run rough country and no problems ... I’ve got a thousand bucks in this out the door with alignment better than any spacer lift out there ... if you’ve got the money go for they hype and get the fox or upgraded bilsteins ! I’m not rock crawling in Florida some mud , lots of sand and malls :cheers:

    Truck looks awesome and people want to hear feedback on that specific kit for sure! Glad you posted so that people can find you now if they are considering it.

    I have ran rough country on many other vehicles and they are great for their intended use.

    Their new stuff is much more beefy than the old. I have ran both new and old and the n3 shock is very stout.

    Hey, what side steps are those? Do you like them? Does the step allow you to rub less on the edge of the seat when getting in/getting out?

    Factory predator steps & no rub like hell getting in ... when you use the step it kinda makes you to tall and you have to crouch down to get in

    What about the other two times? Shaming the guy for responding to the haters?

    Lol Looks like you are the type that likes to poke but don't like when people respond eh?

    I responded to the thread with a meme that I think is funny. He responded, I did not. He responded again and I asked him a question. Then I sent him good vibes by saying I’m sure his lift is great?

    yes, it is indeed a budget lift. Not shaming the guy, but no one running a rough country/spacers can argue that they bought the best suspension out there?

    It’s like buying an M&P Sport II vs a Daniel Defense, it gets the job done but we all know you bought it because it was cheap.

    It's cool to see people's opinions of the more budget friendly options who have actually used the set up. I am planning on going with the Eibach pro lift. I had it in my shopping cart and then the virus happened and we have very little business so now I'm afraid to spend the cash. The kit is only $535 on the real truck. Com website right now though for those who may be interested.

    Lol I honestly was just yanking your chain because the other two comments sounded like you were still trashing his decisions. That's just imo.

    As for all the rest of what you said, I kinda agree with you, but I'd tell you for a fact if someone is shot with an m&p or a Daniel defense they still both got shot and it doesn't matter.

    That's what's so funny about suspension, or anything else. Most people could do the same things JUST AS WELL with a cheaper option.

    I'd wager the vast majority of people with 2.5" coilovers could get the same job done in their vehicle on stock suspension. This is mostly because they are not even at the limits of their stock suspension in the trails they do.

    I'd also say that their aftermarket 2.5" digressive valved coilvers don't handle as good as stock on the road, so really they actually bought worse.

    Everyone should shop for their intended use. Not just because they want the "best out there".

    Anyway, again, that's all just my opinion. That's also why I usually buy what you've refered to as "budget".

    Except on my truck. I have the Icon Stage 4 Setup with JBA arms for flex, way more suspension than what I need. I probably should have gone with a Rough Country 6". ;)

    I'm just poking the bear.
