Rough Country Lifts?? new springs? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I called to order a 4 inch all spring RC lift and I was told they have "new" Luxury-ride springs! The guy told me they have a place up in Canada making their springs now and they are softer. I asked him where they got their springs before and he told me that RC springs have always been re-branded superlift springs... hmmm any insight? anyone heard this before?

I hear things are softer in Canada, Aye. Let us know how it rides. I need front springs. I may try some mopar springs.

I've used superlift and rough country lifts before. I don't think they were the same. The rough country lift was the better one with thicker leaves and a better ride. It has been a few years, so I wouldn't be surprised if they might be the same now. Let us know how the new lift works out.

Rough Country advertises them on their website now as all new "luxury-ride" springs.

Well it's in! it raised the front 5.75 inches and the rear 6.5 inches.. and after the first good test drive it isnt rough at all.. i can push the truck down 3-4 inches just pushing on the rear bumper.. rides real nice not harsh at all actually has some bounce to it lol

I just priced a 6 inch lift for my burb and did not see any thing about new softer springs. Did i miss it. Truck looks great too!

I hope you like yours, my 4" rough country lift rides like a buck board wagon. Yes, I know its a truck....and a OLD truck at that. But I've drove nothing but 3/4 ton trucks since I got my license. I absolutely hate mine, and we we tear it down to restore in another year or so that's the first things getting yanked off!

Just my $.02
