...that's a first. The rough country product is inexpensive, that's the nicest thing I can say about it. Consider that steering stabilizers only cover up problems and their kit includes 2 of them...

Like most people said there's no need to go that high. if you're looking at 35s/37s. My lift is Rancho springs/shocks with rock krawler adjustable arms all around. The RK arms are heavy but they are solid steel and seem pretty indestructible.

Also have bullydog chip for fuel economy and a cold air intake and dual exhaust to help with back pressure. 20s average some days better some days worse.

And as for saying rough country is inexpensive that's correct but cheep doesn't mean terrible quality. Iv been running it for a year no issues. Don't even get me started on mixing lift parts I could go on for days lol

Don't rely on electronics, your programmer and dash, they won't be as accurate as ol' pen and paper. I bet you will be surprised when you figure it out the true number the old fashioned way.
