Is this kit complete

mcdaniel1991 · Nov 25, 2013

Im about to buy the Rough Country 3 or 4.5in Kit (Still can't decide which one) and I want to make sure it is complete with EVERYTHING I will need. I live in Germany so I don't want to have to order something else when it gets here.

3" http://www.roughcountry.com/ford-suspension-lift-kit-486.html

4.5" http://www.roughcountry.com/ford-suspension-lift-kit-479-20.html

Do i need a pitman arm drop or anything else?

Thanks

with the 3" kit it is one of the easiest kits i have ever installed and comes complete. all you will need to do afterwards is make one adjustment so your steering wheel is straight. you do not require a drop pitman arm.

just FYI the rough country shocks are not that great.

yea should I pay the extra $50 for the 2.2 performance shocks or save it for bilsteins? I plan to upgrade when the rough country ones wear out!

You will get some bump steer using a drop track bar bracket without a equal droped pitman arm.

Stacking blocks is not safe and if you have to have the truck inspected in Germany it likely will not pass.

I'd look at a better kit from Icon, Pure or Carlie.

The kit I think I'm going to get is the 4.5 inch and ill also get a 3-6in drop pitman arm. The 4.5" kit comes with full rear blocks not spacers and I think I will like 4.5" over 3".
