Rough Country 5" Lift Kit for Limited with Air Suspension. 20" wheels and 33" tires.
First few pics are normal height and last 3 are Off-road 2 height.
what offset on the wheels? Are they 12.50's?

Looks great. That's with 33x12.50s? Doesn't look bad at all. I was afraid the tires would look too small. Have been debating if I wanted to do the 6" lift or not because I have the 3.21 gears and have been worried about 35s.

Thank you so much for these pictures lol. I've been researching this to no end with no answers as to what it looks like in different ride heights. What are the speed restrictions of Off Road modes before it brings you back down?

Should be the same as factory air ride without the lift.

Does this effect the factory warranty? Also has it changed the ride? Last question, how long did it take to install?

Yeah that's what I heard. Still can't find out the answer to this either though. No one at any dealership could tell me (shocked)...I'll have to go drive one to find out.

So I spoke with RC and they said no issue with the manufactures warranty and the ride is the same. They also said the install takes about 7-8 hrs. The lift is 5" in the front and 3" in the back from what they said.

The lift doesnt change anything in the computer. Ride adjustment is all controlled by the computer. The lift is just a big spacer that goes on top of the strut. It will still have all 5 ride heights and function just as it would stock, except it will be 5 inches taller in each mode.

How much more height do you get compared to stock ride height?

Sorry for the ****ty pictures, I need to get some better ones soon.
Hey Mate your truck looks awesome. How does the ride and handling feel now ? Does the sidestep drop down enough to get in comfortably ? Also did you have the off road package too ? Thanks in advance

Yea guys... the suspension is essentially unchanged. It’s functions exactly as it did before. Just taller.

It will ride mostly the same, as not much as changed. The largest factor in that is wheel and tire combos. The More aggressive, the worse the ride (typically).

He posted a couple pics when he first got this done 3 months ago and then never replied back to any of the questions. Usually happens when people arent happy and are having trouble with the product

Can these lifts be installed with the off-road group also?

Did you powercoat the wheels? I’d like to put some on my big horn but in black.
