Rough country the #1 choice for the working man that works on his own truck.

I hate modern off-roading culture. It's become more about bragging rights on how many thousands you shelled out for your lift kit than how much you actually enjoy the driving experience itself. Not everyone needs a $4500 lift kit on their truck or Jeep to cruise the access roads from a higher stance. I bet there's a correlation between Jeepers who shell out tons of unnecessary money for the Apple ecosystem and people who constantly complain about Rough Country for being too cheap.

I would like to know, what are the differences in between the N3, M1 and V2 shocks?

I’ve put too many RC kits to count on Jeep’s and trucks from 1/2-1 ton models luckily I haven’t had to many negative experiences as a tech besides a forgotten bolt bag etc but the customer always seems satisfied about them. Don’t think you need to spend over $2000 for a kit with fox shocks or gold arms

It’s very simple. Every product has its customer bracket. You want a kit you can throw on that gives you the stance and some benefit when off-roading and NOT break the bank? Then you buy kits like rough country. If you want a kit that will give you SERIOUS off-roading capabilities then you buy coil overs and shock absorbers from companies like King, Fox, ADS, Dirt Logic ETC. After that you buy suspension components from companies like Camburg, Baja Kits, Total Chaos, BTF, ETC. I bought RC 3” lift struts with RC upper arms and the basic RC 2” lift rear shocks. I spent around $750 for all of it. The cheapest Long travel kit for my truck is made by Dirt King which is $6500 for just spindle, upper arm, lower arm and it doesn’t include shock absorbers and coil overs. Regardless if you buy king, fox, ADS Putting a bypasses in the front you are looking at around 2k for both. For coil overs you are looking around $1800 for both. So at the end of the day. NOT including fabrication and labor you are gonna spend around 13k for just the front end of my truck. That’s not including the rear end. In no way shape or form am I comparing RC to king travel and other kits made by custom fabrication companies like camburg, kibbetech etc. They do not make any suspension kits that can handle whoops and dips at high speed. What I’m saying is RC is a great alternative for those who don’t want to spend a massive amount in their vehicle.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Rough country for 3 years 52,000 miles on and off road great lift kit ! I got 5 inch on my 2018 ram 2500 HD with 37” and it will get after it in the mud for a heavy truck and does great on the road too !

Scheduled to get the RC 2.5” with coils and shocks this week. But now thinking I want the Zone 3”. Much difference? JL 2dr sport s

I have a 2019 RAM Classic. I’m up in the Nevada desert, and I drive gravel and 4x4 every day. I just went from OEM to Rough Country 2” struts and the difference is night and day. Rough country is so much better than the OEM. I’m planning on installing the V2 shocks on the back. Some days I carry around 800 pounds on the back and my rear OEM shocks are worn out after only 40,000 miles and I have a lot of sag. Can I install the v2 shocks with improved coil springs? Do I need to add anything else? It’s my work truck, so it needs to last. I don’t need some fancy stuff that costs me thousands of $ since the truck pays for itself

Love my RC shocks have them on my Jeep JL and they have been solid since I bought them

Been using them since late 80s. First was a 4" lift on a dodge W250. I used to jump that truck without an issue! Been using ever since without issue.

This is a good one. Rough Country sure does get a bad rap ... maybe (still) because of issues they had in the 90's?! I dunno, but I have had their 4.5" Long arm system in my XJ since 2011 with no issues. Superflexy, stable on pavement... I thoroughly dig their stuff, and their Customer Service is second to none. Probably why I have MORE Rough Country stuff ... and now even more, now that we bought a Wrangler JL.

@TrailBuiltOff-road i own a 2015 lifted Scion xB. After almost a year of driving lifted xB with my oem rear shocks. It has the ridiculous cavity of making clunk noise when I drive through bumps.

Pretty smooth , not sure why peoples get so mad about the affordable price.

And where is it all made

So I've seen first hand the springs sag but never owned anything from them im sure some stuff is good 👍

I installed the 3" kit on my '99 XJ and I don't like the Harsh On Road ride..

I guess it comes down to do you drive a jeep 4x4 or do you 4x4 a jeep but wish you had a range rover

Is it good suspension for f150 off-roading?

My m1 said made in China 😳

why is there only 7 comments??
