Default lift

hi im new to the forum.

Anyway i was looking at the rough country leveling kit with the rear blocks but it said it was only for the 2WD but i own a 4WD.
I was just woindering if there was anyone who used this kit on the 4WD and if they had any problems or not

I have had the rough country kit on my 2006 4x4 for about 15,000 miles now. Ball joints and CV shafts are still good.

The only thing that scares me is that when the truck is jacked up in the front, the wheels do not turn freely. They seem to bind at full articulation. When driving it, I can't tell, nor have I seen any adverse effects from the kit. I even 4-wheel occasionally (mud, rocks, sand) and haven't broken anything yet. Hopefully a real kit comes out someday so I can replace all of these front components with quality ones. Until then, I'll just keep beating them to death!

Default im the one that contact them about problems.

the only problem is shock is 3 inches longer and lift block is only 1,5 inches so thats why...this kit would be alot better with 2 inches block or a 2,5.

because the shock is a multi stage compression ans its already compressed 4 inches so its stiff as hell.

no wear problem yet only 7000km since suspension is lifted

if you order the kit 397s and you have a 4.7L you need to call them so they swap the u-bolt because the u bolt that come with the kit are vor a v-6 8.25 diff not a 9.??? for 4.7. i had this problem when i receive my kit. had to wait a full week.
