Tough country vs. Rough country
Does anyone know the difference between Tough country and Rough country lifts?

I would have to reccomend the lift system from tough country. I installed a 4" lift in my 71 Blazer without any problems or modifications and the truck rides like a caddie!

No I just left the old ones on but I relocated them with the new brackets provided in the system. It was really easy. I didn't have to do a thing with the rear. You'll love it!. Tito1019 make sure you buy their XS8000 shocks with the system! I used their twin tube dampners (XS8000) for the steering stabilizers as well. Their functional and look really cool out front!

Is the tough country lift a full 4" lift? I have the Rough country 4" lift on my 72 blazer, and the front only sits about 2.5" higher than stock, and rides way worse than stock.
