Rough Country 2-3" lift

[DSSpeck]

Hey guys, I've heard of people having problems with this lift kit. Is it still trouble prone, or have they corrected the issues?
I'd like to lift my '99 Yukon 2"+ but I'm not sure about doing it with a torsion crank and add-a-leaf. I'm concerned with adverse wear to the front end and loosing the factory ride. I'd like a kit that address these issues.

Any thoughts?

It depends on who you talk to some will say good things and obviously some say bad it is probably 50/50 though. So it is your choice

I am also thinking of this for my 2dr. I know its easier to install now but thats abot it. Maybe rouh contry can hop in and inform us?

Isn't that kit like $600? A 4" or 6" kit is $1000.

They have made some changes but I still wouldn't buy it. Just crank the bars 1.5-2". I doubt the 3" kit is going to ride better.

The only kits that will still have the factory ride would be the 4" kit as it's a full drop kit without cranking the bars to get 6".

I would crank the bars and see how you like it, you can always uncrank them.

yeah its only a 400$ difference but being a 99 it has autotrac which requires the 500$ front driveshaft. but i agree with you Dylan i doubt the 3" is gonna ride any better. if your looking for cheap crank your bar 1.5" and do a 2" body lift. i did 2" block in the rear and im surprisingly happy with it. i still need to crank the front about an inch but that will wait till i can do an alignment. now im not rock crawling or anything but the stance is nice. see sig for specs

I wanted 2-3" kit as well for my 2000 Tahoe Z71 but after reading enough posts, I decided to crank the torsion bars and add a leaf in the rear. My truck is lifted approximately 2" and looks great with my 33's. I personally think the truck rides better with the crank.

I was thinkining of doing the same. But now I'm paranoid after reading so much about what it does to your CV angles.

How long have you had them cranked?

I wouldnt crank much. I have a 3in body lift and well miht get 2in blocks and crank front 2 in but thats it. I could then clear 35s maybe 36s or 37s with a lil trimming

to Clear some things up the Drive shaft only cost me about 250 bucks , On another note I would vote for a diff drop lift kit , Much better ride quality

Don where did you get your driveShaft from if you don't mind?
