Default Frustrated!!

i ordered the 5 inch rough country lift and ive been thinking. I dont even think this lift will make a difference i have the off road f150 with 2 1/4 stock blocks in the back. and i put a 2 inch leveling kit on the front. SOOO i dont know if it lifts it 5 inches from where it is now or bone stock height.. if thats true in the back it comes with 4 inch blocks and it will only give me 2 more inches in the back, which for 1000 bucks is definitaley not worth it. Pleaseee chime in!! give your opinion no matter what. . I can take the truth! haha

Yes. Its USUALLY 5" from stock ride height. You will definitely notice an improvement but it will not be a HUGE change. For $1000... meh. Not a huge loss but definitely alot of money toward a 6" lift.

You are a 4x4, right? If you have the 4.6L, you are getting into the territory that tends to require gearing if you add bigger tires. The 4.6 is stressed enough just trying to push all that weight. I would go with a 6" lift and 35's. That will set it up nice without being obnoxiously tall.

Thats just me though.

hey it me from your other post. id definitly go inches if the 4 isnt gonna change the stance that much. im probably gonna go with the skyjacker 6 inch with the rear springs. for 2200 id say its worth it for the quality

Wait... I just checked out your profile pics. Why do you have 4x4 decals on the bed but no tow hooks?
