Default Rough Country comparison pics???

I got a blacked out 06 Dakota sport rwd thats black on black, but looking to toss the suspension up for whats available, so looking at the rough country kit. But trying to even see if its worth while tossing a leveling kit on it and if theres a worth while difference. So trying to find anyone who has comparison pics of before and after shots of having a kit installed if possible. Id love to go higher, but avoiding that fact of dealing with a body lift. If you got good pics to compare on, it would be much appreciated... thanks"

Default !!!!!read this!!!

if you have a 4,7 you need to tell them...not the same u bolts.
and you gonna hate rear shocks because 1,5 rear block is not enough
shock are 4inches or more compressed and stiff as hell

I know you guys are talking about the front but are add a leafs trustable for the rear, if you want a little lift in the back? I do know how it makes it a stiffer ride though...

add a leaf would be very stiff

my 1,5 rough country rear block feel alot smoother with stock shock til they died

when i installed the rough county shock i notice that ther are 3 inches longer

best guess is 1,5 to 2.0 rear block with stock, or monroe or ranchos shocks

or 2.5 rear block with rough country shocks!

How much total lift did you get with the 2.5" block and rough country shocks?
