Default Tuff Country 3" lift #23000??

thinking about getting this lift instead of a complete 4" or 6". Is any one running it. How is it on the front cv shafts and tie rod ends? If I do get it would like to run 35s with no rubbing. Any suggestions

I'm in the same boat...I can sacrifice 1" of lift to save $1000. Was looking at a 4" but since I have 2" in the 3" in the rear I can just level the front up and save a bit of money. I just want to make sure it sits the truck level like a full 4" will.

I watched the video, but unfortunately it doesn't show angles after install. On the website it does say "Upper control arms maintain factory geometry"

Would definitely like to hear from someone who is currently running this setup to see if it's better than just going the spacer route (which I refuse to do).

Found an earlier thread about this kit.

Lots of trucks with our 0-3" Adjustable Coilovers. Some of them are running 35's too. Our new Boss 0-3" Adjustable Coilovers will be here soon too!

the F150-Lifts Coilovers seem to give the best angles for 3" of lift due to not having to use a spacer, rather a shorter coilover assembly with a stiffer spring and higher quailty shock.

The Tuff Country kit will help BJ angles but CV's and TRE's will still be at extremes.

After endless searching and asking around about the Tuff country kit and NOT able to get the response I needed I gave up on them. They didn't seem to know much about the kit and I wasn't about to risk it on my truck. One email to Alex at f150lifts and within the hour he had responded and answered all my questions regarding his ultimate kit. Within about 3 days of back and forth emails I made my purchase and couldn't be happier.

Yes, the F150Lifts coilovers will bolt right up. TRE = Tie Rod Ends. Excessive angles can cause damage to other steering components.
