2002 f150 stepside 4wd and wanting to get lift and tires

Well im deciding to get a 5inch rough country lift with 315/75R16 bfgoodrich tires and was just wanting to get some feedback and see what you would do and wouldnt do with the truck if you had it.

south carolina....not a graduate just a fan.....so why does everyone not choose rough country lift....there affordable and durable....i mean is there such a big difference between procomp and skyjacker or are they just names?.... just wondering because my cousin did alot of research and ended up putting rough country on his truck thats why i started heading down that path....

Rough Country is no were near as durable as Fabtech, BDS, or RCD. those are the best lifts for the torsion based IFS.

Biggest thing to look for is a solid sub frame.. not a multi piece subframe.

I like i said i had HORRIBLE luck with rough country, ruff country, tuff county, and tough country lifts on previous fords

i wouldnt do Sky Jacker or Procomp on the 97-03 4x4 F150's either.

I have the RCD on my truck. It rides great, always has. I've had it for 8 years now. My only complaint is that is only 5" . If I had to do it over, I'd get the Fabtech 6".

Oh, ok gotcha. Im in North Augusta...how far away are you? If you want, I'm sure me and my buddies could help you install the lift when you get it, if you need the help...haha, weve already installed 3 of the 97-03 2wd lifts! And we've done 4x4 lifts before to..
