3" Rough Country Lift and 35's

[Gee_Whiz]

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

I was thinking the same thing. I almost went with the Vertex during installation. I'm kicking myself now. I wonder what best of the best would be.

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.

Thank you for this. Debating something similar to my Tremor.

I have the 3 inch Rough Country lift with 33" tires. When on dirt road with small wash board the back axle can completely loose connection with the road at 50mph. Then when you take turns it will slide out in the back. It makes it very inconsistent and dangerous feeling.

I would be curious to see how the vertex would do. I just got the 3” lifted struts with the v2 in the rear. First of all, the initial struts they sent were too long, and had the geometry of the cv axles all jacked up. The next ones they sent bolted up, but rode terrible, so I ordered the vertex for the front, and they wouldn’t even bolt up. RC then suggested that the only other option would be the 2” lifted struts. We went that route, and the ride quality is absolutely terrible. I have had no issues with RC up to this point. I had a 6” lift with vertex all the way around on my tundra and loved it. I don’t know if it’s my brand new truck, or RC as far as the vertex is concerned. It has us baffled because just about every single review I have seen for that 3” kit has been positive. The shop I use has put thousands of these RC kits on, and as far as I know, they’ve never run across a case quite like mine. It has me really frustrated. Looks good, but rides terrible.

Truck looks awesome! What offset and tire/wheel setup are you running?

That sucks, I came from a 1 ton and did the suspension within a week of owning the truck. I'm not sure how soft the f150's normally are, but I feel like with the susp and Toyos the ride is nice and tight.

Glad I found this thread. I’ve got the same size tires ready to mount on my sport 18” wheels as soon as my lift kit arrives on Feb 27th. I also ordered the RC 3” but with the M1 monotube setup. Hoping it rides nice. My concern was the +44 factory offset and how I was gonna fit the wider tires since the factory tires are only a fingers width away from the A arms already. Sounds like we just need a 1/4” spacer for clearance?

Did you change your upper control arm?
