Wow alot of people must like the 5inch lift from rough country.
Ive had mine about 2 months and have had no problems except that it didnt raise the rear enough (4 inch blocks) and i knew it looked lower and someof my coworkers said that also. I just added a 2 inch add a leaf. Was easy and looks great
Just wondering what size drop do you have for your hitch, was going to get a 8 inch drop, and thats what some people on here say i sould have.
Its mostly sledbed trailers.

the bolt i am refering to are the asentric bolts that are used to set your caster on the front end. there on the lower controle arm where it meets the axle. they rust to the sleve and axle mount. i would recomend going to a dealer and ordering new ones befor you even attempt the lift. it took me a bout 1.5 hours per side to car the arms and sleves apart so i didnt hert those bolts. they are flat on certin parts so the cams cant slip.
i put in the 5 inch rough country kit. i cant complain it goes pretty smooth. there is a incredable lack of help when it comes to the instructions. and they will tell you no new rear brake line is needed. i would recomend getting the sky jacker lift kit line. the first time my rear axle went to full down it rips it right off.
on the passenger side upper controle are bolt have fun. if you have a 13/16 spark plug socket with the hex on the end this will make getting that bolt in and out much easyer. any other questions just ask i will be more then glad to share the info

Where do you guys take **** to get powder coated? That is an excellent idea, and there are deffinetly a few things I'd like to have that done to.
One more question, which is more durable? Powder coat or line-x?
