Was wondering if anyone has had problems with Tough Country lift kits?

 

i got a Tuff Country 4.5" suspension lift under my rig (04 ram 3500 QC LB 5.9L) and im running 35" tires on helo maxx 8 rims... no issues here.. truck stays firmly planted to the ground even when cornering and im still driving like the truck was stock and my rig is far from stock.

 

Ive got 10,000 miles on my lift kit with 37" tires and no problems here.

 

I have the 4" kit w/ 35's on my truck. I've been running it for about 20k miles or so and I haven't ecnountered one problem yet. Just a bunch of gawking from people and complements.

My father has been running their 6" lift w/ 37's on his truck for 50k or so and it's been trouble free, well we did have to put in new bushings on the arms like 5k miles ago but that was a simplistic painless job.

I would reccomend one thing, ditch their shocks before you even stick them on your truck. I went with the Bilstein's and I got a single steering stabalizer from Tuff Country. Get everything re-aligned and a tire balance and it will ride like a caddy, atleast close to it.

 

im thinking of the 4.5" lift for $769 from tuff country which includes the spacers in the front + $136 for nitrogen shocks so $905 for everything.

OR

Top Gun Customz special

which is a 4" lift for $895 +$20 total to upgrade to nitrogen shocks so a total of $915. Pretty much the only difference between the 2 kits is the $10 difference, the 4" lift v.s the 4.5" lift and the biggest difference is the spacers v.s. the actual springs. Which would you go for?

Dont forget shipping costs....its $77.00 for the Top Gun Special(4" w/coils) and free shipping for the tuff country 4.5". I would perfer coils than spacers but I'm on a tight budget so I'm thinking of going with the 4.5" tuff country spacer kit(My rig only sees pavement and to tow my work trailers, quads and my future crawler project! )

 

What about the FLEX UPGRADE, Tubular adjustable control arms upgrade for $179/pair, is that worth it? Whats the point of that?

Also, buying either one of those kits, will I need anything else? Any other upgrades?

 

anyone??? Also, why do our trucks have 1 shock behind the diff and the other in front of the diff? Is it for more flex?
