RK 3.5" Long arm kit questions

Yup, you 100% need an alignment after the install.

REQUEST a printout of the alignment specs. They should adjust the camber/caster via the lower control arm. There was a member recently that went in for an alignment and they only adjusted the toe, but it was clear that they could have got the camber/caster within range if they tried.

Get your alignment done put some miles on it and check to make sure everything is still tight.

Installed the Rough Country lift today. Things went pretty smooth. Did the front first, then rear. Got down to the very last bolt putting it back together and stripped the hell outta the bolt holding the upper rear sway bar mount to the frame. Had to re-tap the threads to get it back in. Other than that, I like it.

awesome man glad to hear it all went pretty good. After hearing some of night mare stories some have had tapping one thread ain't bad at all. WHERE ARE THE PICS Have you decided on what tires you're going to run.?

Went out and played with it some today. Took some pictures... Heading out to dinner and I'll figure out how to post them soon. I'm going to keep the stock radials on for now, they still have a LOT of miles left on them, then probably some BFG All terrains.... I

hmm last post got posted before I finished... I do have to say though that my wife was the first one to say out loud that "it needs bigger tires now, those just look wimpy" God, I love her.

You know, you can always sell the stock wheels/tires. They're worth more while they still have tread....

On the "other" forum the tester for JBA is selling his old lift which includes these along with 4 inch coils in the back. He has fenders off and all and claims to have run 35's with this lift. I dont see the possibility in that... If so I want this lift now.

With the front and rear fender flares off you gain a lot of room for larger tires. The only issue is the area of the pinch weld. It would mostlikely have to be cut right out like we did on my buddy's 05 Grand Cherokee. I believe he is running 35's but I bet when he flexes it out he has rubbing issues.

I find that really hard to believe still considering I just clear my pinch weld with 2.25 RR with .5 Rusty off raod strut spacer and im running 32's. I have been reading about this lift and from what I have been reading it doesnt actually give the whole 3.5 inches.
