Rough Country 4" lift. I had the same questions/thoughts about RCX but after reading the forums and talking to Rough Country a few times I was sold. It's been a few months now and everything is great.

Yes she sits level and I just sanded and sprayed the skid plate and torsion bar drop bracket with some color match paint from oreillys, I didn't do a clear coat but wish I did. I didn't touch my torsion bars because she sat level.

It's right there in my signature; 305/70/16 or 33x12.5x16

I could easily fit 35"s, I just liked the way this looked much better.

I am running 35X12.5X17's just on cranked torsion bars, I am getting a 4" lift kit for the simple fact it is only going to cost me 200 bucks because my buddy is taking it off his truck and giving it to me lol.

Anyway, here is my truck on 35's with no lift kit.

I have to ask, what color is your paint (I know its red, duh, but like mine is vermillion red)? I love that color.
