Default Tuff Country 4.5" lift w/35s?

Is anyone running the tuff country lift with 35s? Looking around at options for lifts and 35s.

I am running a Rough country 5" on 35's. My back end should be up more, I need new leaf springs, so keep that in mind.

Turn bars? What do you mean? Only problem I have with it is it squeaks horribly, that could be because I haven't re-tightened it yet, and I put 1200 miles on it lol. Getting that done tomorrow, I'll let you know how it is after that. I wish I got the 6" BDS lift, because who doesn't want another inch? Lol.

don't you have to turn the torsion bars up to reach the 5" with the rcx kit?

Nope, you get a torsion bar drop kit to keep it at stock level, that is the red thing in the middle of the truck in some pics.

This is what happens when you run a tuff country lift. Several thousand in damage.

Get the zone 6",way more solid and its a true 6",no t bar adjusting needed.

Been installing these things since they first came out. They are actually a 4" lift as it only drops the front diff 4" inches. You can crank to achieve around 5.5.
