Question on upgrading lift????
Right now I have a 4 inch lift and looking to upgrade to the rough country 6inch lift. I was told from someone actually on here but want to hear from others. But if I upgrade to 6inch and keep my 35s on there is that going to ruin my drive or anything? And not really able to drive on highway? That's what he told me. I have 5.13 in now and one day in future go 5.38 which is recommended for my auto jk and for 37s but my 35s are brand new so want to get some life out of them. Just want to know upgrading lift nothing really changes but height right?

Everything changes when you lift it, control arm lengths, caster adjustments, driveline angles, basically youre entire suspension geometry which will make it less able to drive on the road unless you do it right. IMHO Rough Country does not know how to do it right at 6 inches.

We only sell the 6" kit in our long arm version. Its to much lift for a short arm kit.

As for myself I am just going with a Teraflex 3" kit and running flat fenders for 37s. I dont need to get a long arm kit or replace the stock driveshafts for a while therefore Im saving tons of money. Hope that helps!
