New to lift kits

i just bought a 4 inch lift kit from rough country
I dont do any off road just drive my truck from home to work 20 miles a day
I have concern now if i should have it install or dont even bother install it

 

You are not going to get a lot of love for the rough country kit. Not sure if you need to install a cross member for that but if not you could install yourself.

 

Jj my most concern and i guess i didnt explain my self well
Never had anything done to any vehicle before im going to have someone install it for me
My question will be should i live it stock or go and have the kit install
What’s my pro and cons after installation

 

Honestly I would get rid of the rough country suspension. I would go with Billies and some aftermarket coils and like a aal. Its your truck you can do whatever you want install of the billies and a aal you can do it yourself or with a few buddies anyway good luck with your lift.

 

You'll regret rough country lift kit...return it or sell it. What TacoTRD said, get a set of Bilstein 5100s. Talk to Marie, from @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

Lol. 5100s are not much better than a rough country lift

 

Theyre called "Rough" country for a reason...I'm assuming he's on a budget if he bought them. I mean the Bilstein 6112/5160 is a way better option, but hey if you got the coin but the top 3 coilovers.

 

do you have experience with RC?

 

So whats the bad thing about rough country i only bought it cause my budget plus im not doing any off road things with the truck its just for looks

 

Nope, I went with my friend last experience with them and research though the forums. The only lifts I would ever buy is OME, Billies, icon, fox, king. Although I hear Dobinson is good too. Just my opinion...

Going over a 3 inch lift will give you a headache down the road, things will break like the notorious vibes that you will feed low speeds 30-40mph. Your CV Needle bearing will break. Any lift you should buy the ECGS clampshell to replace it. My friend had rough country and hated the ride.

Stock OEM needle bearing, those needles you see will break. It's your truck do as you please...as people say on the forums "Buy once, Cry once"

 

So in another word im screwd with this lift and the money i spend on it

 

The 4” kit from RC has a diff drop. No need to worry about anything you mentioned.

 

Are you 2wd or 4x4? If youre 2wd (prerunner) i highly recommend some spindles up front..

 

4x4

 

Yeah I was going to mentioned Maxtracs and a block if its pavement princess.

 

I will respectfully disagree, replace the root of the problem which is the needle bearing.

 

I think you will regret the rought country lift bud just do some research alot of re search this is a great place for answers to questions. I'm sure you can sell the RC lift and get something you will have less problems with the future. Like I said earlier its your truck your money so do whatever suits your fancy.

 

How? Stock (or incredibly close) geometry is maintained.

 

Now im more confused then a snail trying to leave his shell

I guess i will just keep the truck with the wheels and tires and dont get my self into any headaches
I really appreciate all the comments from every single one that has taken their time to help out
