Anyone using Rough Countrys 2wd 3" Lift kit?
Hey all my "Brandie" is a 2wd and I found a Rough Country 3 inch lift with replacement springs and rear lift blocks with four (4) shocks for $300 on eBay.
I was leaning towards the DayStar 2.5 level kit but was wondering if this is a better deal? My passenger side spring seems to be about a half inch shorter (not sure why).
So it looks like I need to replace my front springs anyway and may as well do the lift while I'm at. Anyone using this kit and what do you think of it?

Yes I have a Rough Country 3in lift but I also have a 1in daystar spacer but this will give you an idea on how it would look. I also uploaded how my UCA contacts my spring bucket.

Thanks natedoggsr71, I was wondering if I should go with the spring lift or a spindle lift. I had the stock 17" aluminum rims but got a smoking deal on a set of Yokohama 275/60-20 on the stock 20 inchers like yours. Was it the 3"kit like they show from ebay or Fatbobs right with the shocks and blocks Right? Did you have any more problems with the kit? I guess I'm going to go with the spindle lift. Hope you get it worked out

I would recommend a spindle lift, you would be fine with the Rough Country kit if you dont use a spacer. The kits from ebay are exactly the same, and also come with the shocks and blocks. But the only problem I have its the UCA contact which can be fixed by taking off the spacer I have on. I cant decide if I want to take of the spacer and add a 3in spindle or use my oem spring and leave the spacer and put a 3in spindle. Which Spindles were you planning to use?

Wheel spacers wouldnt do anything I think, im about to take off the spacer. Do you know if they make any longer spindles or a upper longer control arm? BTW have you checked out the ebay 3in spindles for $269, you might want to look into that is moneys a factor.
