With the 6" Rough Country lift, are the shocks bigger than stock in the back? And I already have extended shocks in the front, would I have to replace them as well? They are ProComp ES3000's and I would much rather have them over the rough country shocks.
the lift comes with the nesecary shocks. I chose to upgrade to the rancho 9000 just take a look at their site and email their guys always seem to be helpful with me

yeah thats a good idea maybe i'll buy the rough country one and just buy some other shocks probably still be cheaper then any of the other lifts and then i'll still have four extra brand new shocks just in case now ive just gotta find somewhere in canada that sells the rough country lifts so i dont have to deal with shipping them does anyone know if rough country is made in america cus if so that would be great it would save me alot on duty coming across the border
ive had alot of experience with rough country and they give you a VERY stiff ride!
i would not recommend their shocks at all. lol i guess their name says it all
X2 I installed one on a Jeep, and the damn thing rode like a forklift.

yeah seems to be the main complaint on the lift so i'll probbaly just upgrade to a different shock company and still save a few hundred im sure. They've been in the business like 30 years i think and ive never heard anyone say there stuff broke so for the money i dont think it can be beat
how are the rough country lifts do any guys on here have them for the 2wd 1500 dodge rams there like half the price as the fabtech and stuff and from what ive read on reviews they dont seem to be that bad the guys at the off road stores around here say there **** but thats probbaly just cus they want me to buy the 2500$ fabtech one from them rather then buying the 1200$ rough country . so yeah and info on whether or not these lifts are ok would be great help thanks guys. I wont be doing much wheeling as im only 2wd but sometimes i like to go on the trails with all my friends iev done it stock and did fine so i figured with the 6 inch lift and some 35's i could probably do 95% of the stuff out there with a locker
So yes the lift is a good lift for what you pay. If your just driving around the city and some dirt roads I would probably go with the rough country. Now if your going off-road off road you can still do the rough country lift but I would suggest to get some different shocks. They do ride a bit stiff but it's not stupidly stiff. I have a 2002 3rd gen with the 6inch lift and it's nice for what i do. I do have a 2wd but what I do is I just got a wench. Works like a charm when you get stuck and its funny to see the guys with 4x4 get pulled out by a 2wd truck. I'm 18 so I can't afford a 4x4 especially in this time.
