One of the common things I read with rough country lifts after install is guys having tire lean after backing up. I don't have this problem with my pro comp 6" lift.

thanks for y'all's inputs. i would also like to get a pro comp, but unfortunately, money is a factor. If the new lift won't fix the unevenness, what will? And what size wheels? I was thinking about 17"

Thats interesting, i never heard about that before. Idk if my wheels do that or not. If your truck doesnt sit level after your lift then buy a 2" coil spring spacer, they are around $50 and extremely easy to put in. As far as wheels, idk its really your preference haha

I have some BAD tire lean when backing up, one of the reasons why I am going to be doing the SAS.

Ya your not the only one with that problem. I wonder what it is about the R.C. Lift that makes this happen! And what pro comp does different to prevent this!
I purposely back up and check my front wheels all the time just to see if I can get my truck to do it. Lol it never does it though.
