rough country 6inch
 
gettin ready to order my rough country 6inch susp lift, and some 17x9 moto metal skulls. anyone have any experience with this lift? ive read lots of good things about it, plus its the non torsion drop.

Its the most popular kit we sell and install. We have very few problems with the kits. They ride fine and last. I have the 6" kit on my HD and love it. Just watch your wheel backspacing and you will be fine. If you stay with what Rough Country specs you will be fine.


If you have any questions just ask. I have installed dozens of these.

Good kit I. Insatlled one by myself first one ever took me 12 hours but put new ball joints inn just make sure you take enough of the cooling fins of the front diff I used a grinder

I wish that kit had duel shocks. I had to add a new keys to mine so it would clear 35's. when i did that my front axles made some noise. I backed off and all is well.

also do traction bars while your at it. It will help with road wobble.

I like mine except it won't hold alignment, and it ends up not the big.

dlt, he's asking about their NTD (no torsion drop) kit. In your sig pic, I think I can see your torsion bars hanging below the frame. With the NTD kit, they stay in the stock location, up inside the frame rails.

doesnt make a difference on how it rides, size, or anything at all.

The NTD kit use's a spindle for some of the lift. It is suppose to keep the ride less rigid. I had to use F150 keys to get mine to clear the 35's. I also had to re arch and add a leaf to the rear. The NTD kit is nice but I didn't get the 6 inches out of the lift. When I got it to clear the tiers the front axles made noise and I had to back off some That was with the spacer also. The ride on the NTD kit was sponge but now it rides good but stiffer with the keys.
