Very nice. My truck rides like a tank too cuz my front springs are shot as well as the shocks. And people have always told me that rough country lifts ride really rough but i've never had a reason to believe it.

And did you have to get extended brake lines?

Re: Lift Pics

ya its amazing what the front springs will do...and the steering stablizer...havent got the extended brake lines yet but i am very soon...it cuts it real close with a 4 inch lift and the brake lines...i havent been able to go off road yet...but as soon as i get those brake lines im off to the mudd!!!! the rough country isnt too bad...got to remember these trucks have the straight axles and not the independent front suspension...but compaired to what it was before i got the truck...huge difference...even my ol lady notices...she said still bumpy tho...i can live with that lol

Re: Lift Pics

I'd try taking out those front shims, there probably pulling out your caster and thats whats making the truck wander.
