That's a really good looking truck. Rough Country doesn't have the best reputation, but they definitely seem to be trying to up their game. I didn't see if you mentioned, but how is the ride after the lift? Any better than it was when you bought it? And given those tires and offset, any issues with rubbing at full lock?

And again, great looking truck! Thanks for sharing it with the group.

Thanks!! I bought it with a 2” super lift level kit and 285/70 R17 BFG all terrains. Ride quality is the same if not slightly improved. No rubbing but they had to trim plastic

Diggin this… I have a 2 inch spacer on 285/70/17 and thinking of upgrading to the 3.5 with the upgraded coilovers. Notice ride quality differences? And was going to choose a 285/75/17.. slight bump up.

Dang that's a sweet looking truck but how do you get anywhere only going 17mph?
My bad - LOL! I have been averaging 16.4 - 17 MPG. Better than my old 2023 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss with 3.0 L diesel engine. Highway on that truck was excellent, but city averaged 15 MPG

Sorry for the late response. I didn't notice ride quality issues at all. Highly recommend the RC coil overs and tire set up.

I have one
Nice setup. Couple quick questions:
1) Did you have to remove crash bars or just trimming of liner (noticed you mentioned trim of plastic but wanted a little more detail if possible)?
2) What was the total lift - actual 3.5 or more like 2ish?
I'm debating either just a 2" puck or a full 3.5 coilover like you did but curious what the overall lift was on the Rough Country (obviously budget issue for me).
My tires would be 285/70r17 Nitto Graps, Method rims with +25 offset

Thanks!

1. Didn't remove crash bars. Trimming was plastic only.
2. Total lift is 3.5" Coil Over - Rough Country - I had a 2" level kit by Superlift prior but wanted 33's. No difference in ride quality with my setup
3. I had 285/70/17 with my 2" setup - worked fine with zero offset.

Good luck!
