So did it not really raise your truck 3" ? I know my truck sits level now with a 1.5" now but I have a 08 and they sit higher stock. I guess if its truly 3" I will have to get 1.5" blocks for the rear to make it sit level. That's if they even make those.

Anybody running this kit ? It comes with new UCA's. I'm looking at this kit and then add some blocks to make it sit level.
Any luck finding out about this kit? I'm about to do the same thing but haven't heard much about Rough Country compared to Fabtech and ProComp.
What size tires you thinkin bout running with this kit?
I just got the 3" kit from rough country (strut spacer, ball joints, control arms) in the mail. Haven't installed yet, having a friend look at it this weekend (dude can install easily, but now have to play the if he feels like it game). As soon as it is installed I'll post how I'm sittin. Don't know if the ball joints and arms are really necessary, but some people say cucumbers taste better pickled. Who is to say?
thx guys i decided not to go with this kit because after speakin to Greg at PRG I'm just gonna go with the Bilstein shock and a spacer he said that if you go with this kit there isn't much room for upgrade afterward as you can only use Rancho/Monroe shocks afterwards because of the design of the kit
--i'm still curious as to how it looks and rides though
I called up RC and they said you can use any shock you want. I specifically told them I wanted to run the Bilstein 5100s and they said no problem. I value Greg's expertise but I'm getting conflicting info here. I'm wanting to run the RC 3" kit with the Bilstein set to 1" lift for a total of 4" lift up front and a 1 1/2" block rear for level-slight forward rake.

OH SNAP!! thx for the heads up i put this comment in the wrong post i was lookin to get the Rancho 4" Kit for my 4wd Titan and called Greg about it and thats where my comment stemmed from NOT the RC 3" Kit. I will say that I love my spacer and Bilsteins from Greg at PRG though leveled it out really well
