3" Rough Country Lift and 35's

[Eco_Beast]

Got the 3" Rough Country lift installed a couple of weeks ago and just got the new tires on. 35 x 12.5 x 18 on factory Sport wheels. Went with the 3" so they didn't have to cut anything. Overall I'm happy, coming from a SuperDuty I feel like I'm back up at that height again. Had to use 1/4" spacers in the front to clear the A Arms, but if you went 35 x 11.5 they would likely be no problem.

I’m looking at the ReadyLift 3.5 SST with some 295 65r20 on my 4x4 Platinum Powerboost w/CCD (When it finally arrives). Do you have any measurements on yours for ground to fender (front/back) and ground to running board?


I’m surprised I don’t see many beyond level and less than 4”.

Alexk I'm about to do this exact same lift and tire combo on my 22 Platinum . I actually picked up my new 295/65-20 Toyo AT3 tires yesterday and they are laying on my shop floor. My truck was shipped a week ago from Dearborn heading to Florida. Should hopefully have it all finished up in a couple weeks. I'll try and post pics..... When are you expecting your new Platinum to arrive ??

Upthecreek, can’t wait to see it. Please share pictures.

As for my truck, no idea. Hopefully in 2022? Ordered on 2/4, so we will see.

What is your fuel mileage like post-lift? Take much of a hit?

 

[Eco_Beast]

Went from avg 17.4 down to 16.2 less of a hit than I expected. But the 35" RT's are very heavy.

What's the height at the highest point ..... I want to do the 3in RC for the same reason I don't want to cut anything on my frame but I want to know how tall is gonna be with the 3in lift and 35s

could you upload a picture showing the rake and a picture showing the poke of the wheels/tires?

Hows your ride quality? Mine can be a little rough at times. I have the loaded struts + V2 shocks

Are you having a rough ride at lower speeds or higher ? or is it just like or over uneven roads ?

 

[Eco_Beast]

I think the combo of the thick sidewalls and new shocks. I came from a superduty, and its still much nicer than that. But not as smooth as those paper thin oem tires.

Just bumps, deeper manholes, etc. im in DC area and lots of roads are under construction. Def more noticeable than stock suspension.

I have the same setup and the same dissatisfaction with the front suspension over bumps and potholes. Is there a better strut to go with that would help?

 

[jjax56]

Maybe the Vertex Coilovers, since they have different levels of adjustment?
