*OFFICIAL Rough Country 3.5 // ReadyLift 3.5 thread.

There was slight rubbing at full crank with front suspension flexed. Removed the useless plastic mud guard and now there’s no rubbing at all.

could you kindly elaborate on the “suspension flexed”?

Wheels full cranked driving in reverse in and out of a swale.

What's the total height to the top of the fin with this lift and 35in tires? Thinking of going this way but want to make sure it can fit in the garage.

How tall is your garage? I don’t have any measurements but with 34s mine fits in my work garage at 7’ with I’d say 3” to spare. It’s not much

My truck is very close but it fits, I don’t have exact measurements for the truck, but my garage door opening is right at 7’ tall. The door assembly itself, hangs an inch, maybe an inch and a half below that and it is incredibly close to touching that portion. I’m on the ReadyLIFT, with 35x12.5’s. I also have Swisstrax tile flooring in my garage which is like 3/4” thick I believe. So with that considered, you should be fine if you have a standard 7’ garage door.

Perfect thans for the info. My garage is 7ft. can't wait to get the truck in and lift it.

Anyone have any isssues with RC 3.5 lift like vibration in steering wheel at highway speeds? I did the kit with the struts and Fuel rebel wheels and wildpeaks. Shop that installed is acting like they have looked at everything that it could be....I have no idea. Thinking of getting it balanced somewhere else to triple check the balance.

No. My truck is perfectly smooth. I’d check the wheels and tires. Get real specific w that. I’ve had that problem w two different mustangs and it’s always been the tires or wheels. It may not even be the balance. The wheels themselves or tires I bet are the problem. Lifting a vehicle shouldn’t cause anything to vibrate. If it’s at about 45-60 mph it’s definitely in the wheels or tires

Brother thanks for the advise. I took it to a big national shop and they balanced it, said the first wheel they did on the front was off by 8 ounces.

I was literally considering what my options were on selling the truck because I am on the highway every day, truck is now smooth as glass just like it was stock.

Having this kit installed on Tuesday. How big of tires can I go on factory rims.

 

[Choate]

Not sure on the factory highest size but you’ll want 35 x 12.50. I have 34 x 11 (close 275/65/20) on fuel wheels and it looks too small to me sometimes.

Meant to quote you. See my reply above though

 

[ItsDaveR]

Looks awesome! I had 275 65 20 on my 2020 with a level looked good. I’m thinking about trying 295 65 20 with this kit.

 

[ItsDaveR]

Installed yesterday. 3.5 Rough Country kit with 2 inch readylift rear spacer instead of the RC one. 295/65R20 Toyo AT3’s on stock rims. No running. Drives nice.

Hey guys ... Tons of good information here. I'm about to pull the trigger and could use some guidance. It seems much cheaper to buy the pieces individually than the actual kit from RC. LIke, $250 cheaper. Am I missing something on that? Here's my list so far for my '22 Rebel (No Air Suspension). Not sure what I'm missing:

RC Loaded Strut Pair - 3.5"
RC Forged Upper Control Arms - 3-3.5"
RC N3 Rear Shocks - 0-3" <-- Not sure if I need the 0-3" or the 3.5"
MotoFab Rear Lift Kit <--- Not sure if I need 1.5" or 2"

Thanks in advance!!

Not sure about the pieces vs a kit. You don’t need shocks unless you’re gonna be doing a lot of off roading. Get the 2” rear spacer unless you want the front higher than the back. W the 2” mine is still almost a tad nose high but pretty much dead level

 

[jlinsenbardt]

Chatted with two different people at RC. Nobody can tell me what is in the kit that makes it $200 more than parting out the individual components. They just assure me that it's "cheaper if i get the kit".

Both guys closed out the chat when I pressed the question. Seems shady to me. I'm going to get the individual components but with the $200 difference it makes me wonder what's in the kit that I'm missing.

Maybe I should go with ReadyLift, Maybe I just need to let it go

I have the RC 3.5” lift with struts and added Icon 1.5” lifted coils to the rear. Looks and rides great.

Oh added a leaf instead of the spacer? Cool.

 

[jlinsenbardt]

On a Rebel which already has 1" lift over the standard RAM suspension, will I only net 2.5" of lift out of this kit or will I actually get 3.5" over stock Rebel suspension?
