Disappointed in my Rough Country lift

[mcdaniel1991]

So I received the lift (after a 1 month wait to get to Germany) and it was missing a front sway bar extension. At this point I thought I inventoried the kit good. Well i decided to leave the sway bar off and instal the kit. well then i found out i was missing a brake line extension ( no big deal i can make that). so i finished the front and went to instal the rear..... I pulled the u bolts out of the package and i only have 3!:cursing: So I called Rough country and sure they will send me the parts but they won't even send them Express? Sure i take some of the blame(mostly for installing the kit without doing a proper inspection.

So I'm missing 1 Ubolt, 1 Sway bar extension and 1 brake line extension and my truck looks like this

Oh yea and i was thinking about buying these wheels but the guy wants $1600 fro them, they need 2 new front tires and there is no way i can get them completely clean?

Thats acceptable by California standards.







Sucks!

was this bought directly from Rough Country ?
were the boxes compromised ?

seems pretty crazy to miss that many parts

Yes i had my dad pick it up at the warehouse. Only thing i can think of is customs because they opened the package to inspect it during shipping.

call rough country. they are real good about getting replacement parts to you.

I already did, the problem is im stationed in germay and they told me they can't ship them to me Priority or express. Only standard USPS which (if its parcel post )takes 1 1/2 months to get here.

Can you have them sent to a friend in the US and have them send it to germany faster?

 

[mcdaniel1991]

Yea i though about doing that but i hate to spend another $50 on express shipping after i already spent $150 to ship the kit the first time.

directly from the warehouse where?

 

[mcdaniel1991]

Tennessee

 

[bruce]

Where you from because rough country is in my home town. I know most the people who work out there

 

[Zmann]

maybe you could smack them around a little ?



LOL

 

[mcdaniel1991]

My dad picked it up and shipped it to me. Im stationed in Germany and my dad lives in Huron.

I don't live there either. My truck is actually on the website for the 99-04 levelin kit.

Man that sucks to hear about the shipping issues. I remember being in Korea and getting stuff over to there was a hassle and a half. Luckily I never had to worry about vehicle stuff though.

On a side note, I'm going to be slammed for this but I actually kind of like the look of it the way it sits now. :gethim:

Hopefully you get all the stuff you need though.

NOOOOOO LOL i can't stand it.

Well i got the lift on and now the rear is 1.5inch higher then the front :cursing:. Only thing i can think is because I left the overload springs on but that shouldn't change anything with height? I think its more because the rear blocks are 6".

So my dilemma...Put the 1.5 inch spacers in the from to level it out or buy new 4.5 or 5'' rear blocks to level it out. my tires are 35s.

What size lift, 3"? 6" block should be right for a 4" lift, and I THINK the rear is usually a tad higher. Wanna say my rear is like ~1" higher at the center of the wheel well, but 1.5" seems a bit high.

 

[mcdaniel1991]

Is a 4.5"lift. I re measured and is about 1-1.25" higher.
