Is the 6" Rough Country Lift Worth Getting???
I just put some new 35x12.50 Toto MTs with 18x9 X2 Badlands on my 04 lariat screw, they rub a little, (I had 35 federal on stock wheels and didn't rub) but they have a little offset, I'm looking at getting the RC 6" lift, any pros and cons??? I'm gonna be putting in on myslef, yall post some pics too please

I have heard good things about the Rough Country lifts. I am giving serious consideration into the RC 4" lift. (Only 4" left on the market now that Rancho quit making them for the '04-'08 and I don't need 6" lift especially with a 5' tall wife...). The RC shocks might not be so great, but at the cost of the lift, you should be able to manage upgrading the shocks.

I have a 6" Rough Country and i love it. I'll agree that the rear shocks that come with the lift are trash. within 4 months of putting the lift on, one of the rear shocks blew. I replaced them with Bilstein 5125's. I recommend scrapping the 6" strut spacer and getting a set of 6" bilstein 5100 struts and some uniball upper A arms if you have the coin. Only thing i don't like about the lift is the fact that the brackets only measure 5" (unlike other lifts that measure a full 6") so you can't add a level kit in the future for more lift.

I've got the 6" Rough Country on my 06. Probably best bang for your buck lift. I installed it over the weekend in my driveway back in August of 2011. Not too bad if you have some common sense. Like 97 said, replace the coil spacer with a set of the Bilstein 5100's. Only issue I have had are the tires rub a little at full lock. The ball joints and tie rod ends are worn out, so I'm getting ready to replace those. I think I have some pics in my gallery. If not I'll get some posted.
