that was a midstream change.

 

how is it aligned then?

 

looks like they just tighten the heck out of the lower bolt.

I just received my lift today. ( ordered it friday) missing 4 16mm washers and the copper crush washers for the brake lines. so not to bad as for as missing components. there sending out the new stuff or i can buy and they reimburse me.

RC has a live chat this is what i get



[Rusty] Can I help you?
[Visitor] On the 6" ford f150 lift i see you deleted the cam bolts for standard bolts does this work better or will i have a problem keeping it aligned
[Rusty] will align fine and will last longer
[Visitor] also you no longer have the crossmember braces and kickers in the kit
[Rusty] no sir didnt need them

 

i had to get the copper washers aswell, my ford dealer gave them to me and then i put them on it said to torq to 13lbs but i think i did a bit more it leaked a bit

as for the rest of your kit i would be very upset is there anyways you can get the parts you need?

 

I can go to the local haredware store and get the wahsers and auto parts store for teh copper crush washers . so no big deal if i want to install it soon. so theres not set back on parts for me.

 

good luck love to see pictures after the install!

 

So is it possible to run a leveling kit with the rough country lift. Like a 2 or 2.5". I thought i read somewhere where someone couldnt get the strut to fit with the leveling kit.

 

it is not recommended because you are stacking spacers

 

I understand that, but is it still possible to get the spacer in there. Or get bilsteins and crank them.

 

i believe it is possible, i had to pound mine in with only a 1.5inch spacer (keep in mind i have the rancho though) but you could try it, im sure there are other users on here who have done it and will know better

 

you can get up to a 2.5 inch up under there on the RCX but it will cause a lot of issues with the CV joints and it will ride like crap. I had a friend do it to his truck. I was going to get a 1.5 inch under mine and it fit but the truck sat plenty high for me and the mechanic said the truck rode bad and didnt recommend it so i didnt get it put on. As far as the kit i was missing a lot of stuff to but it came, I think the truck rides great, im going to take it off roading this weekend to see how it hold up

 

well guys i posted a thread before and no one helped me out my question was that i have the 6" rough country lift an on my truck and i want to upgrade it with pro comp coil overs no body knew even rough country and pro comp !
finally i bought the kit and got it installed now it is great !
and i added 3" performance accessories body lift on 37`s .. now it is a really monster !

 

For yall with the rough country lift, Do your shocks have rough country logo on them or are they plain white. The reason i ask is becasue mine look used, also my spindles look used too compared to all the other new lift parts on the truck. I just got back from iraq a few days ago and was noticing this.





The lift been on for under a month maybe and it hasnt been offroading or on the beach my wife drove it to work twice 20 miles maybe.

 

I called RC on the missing parts they had me contact the store i bought the kit from and 5 days later the washers came. so so far i cant complain with the customer service this time. I had done 3 jeep kits in the last 2 years and once they sent me the wrong stabilizer shock and they sent me a replacement and on a superduty i did they sent the wrong pitman arm and to short of ubolts but sent all new parts.


my parts all look new the knuckles are a casting so they do seam to rust fairly easy on any unpainted or non primed pieces. plus there pretty heavy and ship in a box just themselves , the cardboard looks tough when shipped so i am sure the paint rubs off during transit in some areas. I plan on hitting mine with some chassis paint during assembly
