Rough country 3.5 in lift with leaf springs

Hey I’m just looking for actually reviews on this because I have a 2016 Toyota Tacoma and I’m thinking about purchasing this lift.

 

I'd suggest not. 3.5 is pushing the limit, you would need UCAs, and...RC... If you get it, I would grab some RCVs or extra CV axles.

 

You guys are too funny! DO THE BOOT SLIDE MOD and then you're golden> I have the lift its just fine

 

Rough Country is crap. That is all. Carry On

 

Asking for a RC review on here is like showing up to school and showing off your Bongo Jeans. Sure... they're denim... I guess. But now everyone knows that your parents took you to Kmart instead of the mall.

RC is Bongo Jeans. Pull your shirt tail over the label and hope they last until your next growth spurt.

 

Tough guys behind a keyboard= douche carry on!

 

Rough country is not even tough. I've had those years ago and they are garbage.

 

You get what you pay for.

If you do decide to go the RC route I would ditch the rear lift blocks for upgraded leafs or an AAL if you plan to do a good bit of off-roading. If this is just for looks the block is probably fine.

 

Oh Philhup...dont get your panties in a wad. People do stupid things. I wont hold it against you. Its really OK.

 

Oooookkkkk lol! Sorry I get it people hate RC but for a daily driver mainly pavement this lift gets the job done. The Vertex coil overs are pretty nice actually but we’ll see how long they last!

 

Well maybe this will help. If I was offered anything tough country or stock I would take stock. I'm in the camp of do it once do it right don't waste your time not getting it right. See what I did there

 

Actually NO! The boot slide mod only saves your CV Boots. The problem will be the steep angle the suspension will get at full droop. You CV tri-bearings will bind and get damaged. So you will more than likely need high angle CV shafts. 3.5" of lift is too much for these trucks.

I had SPC arms and the bushings failed after 25,000 miles so quality/name are not always a given.

 

Mine don’t bind at full droop, and like I mentioned I only go off road when I need to. No CV issues yet at all. And actually this lift is only a 3” kit, with the ability to adjust coil overs which is a given. RC is weird at labeling their stuff I think it’s a marketing style “3.5” but it’s only 3

 

Well good luck with that!
It's not a matter of how often you wheel. Just depends on how much you articulate the suspension. (And the OEM suspension isn't meant to do those high angles)
But I guess you know best?!

 

I have Bilstein. SPC and Icons Delta joint I stayed away from after some research.
