Actually I had a 6” RC lift on a 2021 gladiator. It had the vertex shocks. It never rode right again. I put a gamechanger 4.5” metalcloak lift on and it fixed my death wobble and all issues. If you truly off-road I don’t recommend rc. If you use their levelers or baby lifts then I think you’ll be ok. Just know if you go 6” on the RC kit… you’ll need to change some stuff and it’s not a full kit imo. The vertex shocks suck ass btw. The n3 (?) I actually never had an issue.

I personally have nothing against brand I just want something that function properly. But I will say have the rough country 2.5" on my 06 ram and my front struts you can barely see the piston rod (shiny silver rod) so I'm waiting to see how their customer service is.

I purchased RC kit 1620 BAG 8 4” for my Wrangler, 91. So far, well….. I have only read all instructions prior to the installation. The written instructions are great. Several illustrations. All I can ad to your comment section is that; directions are impressive.

For the money rough country makes an amazing product. Yes there are better products, but for quite a bit more money. Honestly, if you’re short on money get the full lift kit from rough country and go back later and buy some better struts. Even if they are the longer rc shocks or fox. Build depends on budget always.

Rough caca 💩

Put the N3 struts on a 2020 Ram 1500, and now on a 2020 Ford Ranger. In both cases, noticeably better ride than stock. If their rear shocks are just as good as the struts then that is how I will go on the rear.

Great to know did you have to change the steering stabilizer?

Im no expert but my 2013 f150 fx4 has had a 2 inch level since new the factory ford upper control arms and shocks lasted over 100,000 miles i decided to upgrade to rough country vertex coil overs in the front with there mid grade shocks in the rear. Also upgraded to the rc upper control arms. I put 15,000 miles on it in 2 years beating it like i always have both rear shocks already leaked out one upper control arm boot has already busted and now my coilover just went. Im sticking with motorcraft on everything from now on not a single issue in 100,000 miles. My upgrades have all failed in a year or two after 8 perfect years with ford parts. I do beat the hell out of it in the Rockies on jeep trails 35s winch camper decked. At max payload constantly but the ford parts lasted where rough country didn't.

ABSOLUTEL TRASH AS FAR AS CUSTOMERS SERVICE.LOWER CONTROL ARM HEIM JOINT WENT BAD 4 tIMES IN LESS THAN 3,000 MILES.On 4th now let's see .Daily driven 6 miles a day

RC shocks suck! I just replaced my stock JL shocks with RC Monotube M1s …I now feel every pebble on the road…I am returning the steering stabilizer, installed a Fox. I hate taking these brand new shocks off, but they are awful.

Americans love throwing money away nowdays anyway! Just look at how they buy phones just because it has a fucking Apple on it, or $2000 shoes that look like their Grandpas lawn mowing shoes, $10 coffee that tastes like absolute dog shit but has the Starbucks logo, etc. They are absolutely pathetic..

Just got a 20204 jeep sport s and going to install the 2.5inch life on it. Yea it’s a rough country.

I really cant stand people who knock rough country. Rough country is very popular where i use to live, we beat the living hell out of our stuff. Rough country stands with their warranty and weve been nothing but satisfied.

Great video... well done. I have a 2013 JKU and got the 2.5 lift and steering dampeners at new... just now need to replace the shocks 11 yrs later only because I'm an idiot and abused them too much. Upgrading from the old 2.2s to the M1s, but springs are solid sill and no issues otherwise. Thanks for sharing,

My truck is out together with almost all rough country parts I will not order any other they have worked great for me that and I don't want 30 different name brand parts on my truck lol

I have had a 6" RC Lift on my 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 for over a year now and i love it! Just did a 4 hour trip to and from 500+ miles running 90 mph at times, no shimmy or shakes and straight down the Pa turnpike! Im on 33-12.5- 20s! Also off road, nothing crazy but not an issue there either. All my angles are just like stock. Soon to swap out spacers for Vertex coilovers.

We hiked 16 miles round trip down into the canyon at the trailhead and up, out of the canyon where the water ended to these ruins. It was a workout! Did that twice. This was before GPS. Everything was word of mouth and not on any touristy maps.

14 minutes of looking down at the ground made me seasick

Thank you for this video Brian! I’m a First time jeep owner looking for a budget friendly lift. You answered my questions about RC and will give them a shot.

I just got my first 1999 jeep wrangler tj and i just got the rough country and i will keep you guys updated wen installation happens

I put the RC 3" lift on the wife's 2015 jk, and it's great. I put the 2.5 " leveling struts and matching rear shocks on my 2016 Ram and happy with them too.

could have been a good vid, but you filled it with annoying shtty music. FAIL

music sucks man,

Still debating on RC or Rancho 2” lift for my JK

you running their Vertex adj 2.5 rear shocks?! Really wanna know your thoughts on those specifically.

Hey man. Thanks for putting this together

Hey Fitz. What model did u get?

I just bought the 3.5 inch lift for my 11 JKU and waiting on it. What is funny to me was the 4" was 50.00 cheaper but had less parts so that confused me so I went with the 3.5. I hope I will not be disappointed.

Well, I choose them because I thought it was a good shocks but I don’t think they’re gonna shock to me. I think they give about a ride I think for the money I think you should get something better than on the shocks that’s my opinion.

a very rough ride not smooth at all they suck jeep JK

I was looking at getting a pair of their 2inch lift struts for my dad's 11 Silverado. Any pointer's?

I've had Rough Country for 3 years I've been in two feet of snow and three feet of water never had a problem I needed more clearance and the four and a half inch lift kit was perfect for my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo

Regarding the shocks, you say "They say made in china"? Why don't you just say "They are made in china"? What is the chinese tattoo on your left inner bicep? Are you chinese? Are you a china supporter? Asking for a friend.

I have RC 3.5” on my 17 Tacoma TRD OR driving from Louisiana to South Lake Tahoe doing off roading on the snow really hard have zero problems it actually keep up with kings and icons suspensions,drive back to Louisiana doing muddy off road still I don’t have any issues. I actually love it they can take hard off road. It worth the money

I’ve had good experiences with RC products so far and I’ve seen/read good reviews as well. It’s like anything some people have biases, preferences, opinions, some based on fact some based on what they’ve heard or 1 or 2 bad experiences in the past. It seems like in general you can find some quality parts for the money from this company.

Thank you, great info.

Good video but great way to add subscribers is to respond to the questions asked. For that reason, I'm moving on.

Thinking about going with a 2.5 level on my 2016 Sierra Z71. Seen some negative reviews but always have to take those with a grain of salt unless many people are experiencing the same issues. Rough country looks pretty reputable to me. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for confirming that I’m not crazy. Over a year later and it rides as well as it did before the lift.

The people who don't like rough country are the same ones that don't like Nickel Back. When you ask them why... they cant really give you a straight answer.

What size wheels?

I have a rough country on my 2001 Ford diesel. It's been on there ever since. I've had it for the last 6 years and no problems with it

I have a few rough country parts on my Jeep. I personally love them. I don’t know how good they were back in the day, but they are certainly good now!

Appreciate the video. Thanks

I had Rough country on 3 rams a 2 jeeps no problems.

I've had a 3" and a 6" both on Titan's. Probably my only gripe was the rear lift blocks rather than lift springs, and the sway bar links. If your a serious offroad guy, your gonna want long travel with coil overs anyways. These are more for "looks" and function. I did end up cutting the stock sway bar links and extending them.

I have had RC on my last 3 jeeps and they always perform and drive great for me. I'm happy with the lift and the price! Getting ready to buy a gladiator and I will be installing a RC lift.

Digging those monsoon clouds…

If people stopped buying things made in China, we would have empty homes. Got into an argument about RC with a bunch of guys in the pub. Found out after, that two of the three owned Civics...no offroad vehicles at all. RC is fine, and I think people hate on the RC stuff after spending $5k on top name-brands.

I found your video because I was researching RC shocks for my lifted Nissan Xterra... I ended up buying their N3 series shocks for the rear... I went with the Ironman leaf springs and I will see how the rear does before upgrading my front suspension. but if RC does well in the rear I will most likely go with them for the front.
