A great lift
The fit and finish was great. All the hardware fit correctly and the hardware was even marked made in the United States. I like to Support companies like this that are made in the United States.. everything was included in the kit. You can install it without buying any extra parts. But I would highly recommend ordering a set of shock boots.

Looks Great! Verrrrry tight suspension
My mechanic said everything went in smoothly, with no complications. I have a Regular Cab 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD w/ 8.1L V8. Looks Great! Verrrrry tight suspension. Big difference in center of gravity, while turning too. This is what a truck should drive like! I highly recommend this product. Also, purchased the Rough Country Steering Stabilizer, which also installed complication free.

Good lift kit, junk shocks.
I liked how everything bolted on the way it was supposed to. I didn't like getting the kit only to find the box was torn in one corner and one of the rear shocks was missing. Also missing was the hardware that you attach your break lines. I put the front lift on and that is when I found the next problem. One of my front shocks would not extend. I installed the shock only because I already had the upper control arm on and it. I notified Rough Country and they sent me two rear shocks and two front shocks. I installed the rear shocks and they seem to be fine. The front shocks were both bad, I put the best one on and if I hit any bumps it acts as if there is no shock on thg he truck. Very dissatisfied with the shocks. I will purchase my own shocks for the front so it rides better and doesn't sound and feel like the left front tire is coming off the truck. I noticed the shocks are made in China, if I had known that I would not have purchased this kit. Cheaper is not better.One other thing, a 75 lb box of metal should be packaged a little better so the box doesn't tear.

A+++
Everything fit perfectly, easy install. Install time roughly 8hrs. Took a little longer only because my torsion bars wouldn't come out very easily, at all. 🤔 but after the install, I took it for front end alignment and shop stated that everything looked great and plenty of adjustment. Drives straight and smooth. I'm using 285 75 17 tires

Looks great but rides ROUGH
Not much of a review kinda guy. I will say this made my truck look great. Actually more of a lift then I am expecting. I have drove on this lift for a week now and it rides like absolute crap. I had this installed by a professional and the ride just isn’t there. I just took tension off of the torsion bars and will be removing the real blocks to make it level again. Good bang for your buck but do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on a “lift kit” do the 6” and Lower it down to 4” if your looking for a good ride.
