Mine is a 3inch rough country. with vertex. I like it a lot. The off road is better. I work in the oil field and it handles the roads great.Great looking truck man. Keep em coming!
Glad you enjoying your kit man! I appreciate you watching 🤝🏾
What sized tires are you able to fit with the 3 inch? I’m seeing some say 35s and some say 34s 😵💫
@@jonl3734 I have 35x11.5 and they fit easily.
I have a RC 6". I had a bracket crack. They sent free replacement in 2 days. I have no complaints!
Customer service is 👌🏾👌🏾
Man! I just appreciate your approach to truth and real with lifted trucks. You get so many guys reviewing lifted trucks that we just can’t truly relate to. What I mean is some guys pockets run super deep … some super shallow… some in the middle. I feel like you are talking from the average guy’s standpoint. No extra fluff. Just real talk. I appreciate that. It’s just like in the firearms game. Some folks are brand myopic and can’t see anything but that brand. I get that too an extent. But there are some firearms that are a valid mix of function and price. Price doesn’t exceed recognizable quality. If ya get what I mean. There is junk and there is cream of the crop. But that sweet spot is often in between. Thanks bro. Some of these companies get so big that they stop appreciating the customer not answering calls and customer service sucks. They start treating you like a side chick. Lmao.
😂 definitely gotta take care of the people who go you there. Customer service is honestly more important than the product. I appreciate the words as well man. It means a lot 🫡💯
@@KickinItWithQ Fo sho! Got ya back and appreciate you for having the courage.
Another solid video Q!. I've only ran BDS because my trucks were brand new and they back the 60k mile powertrain warranty.
Can’t beat that! As I mentioned the bds kit I rode in did feel better overall than my RC
I literally just got my truck back from the shop to get it lifted, this past Friday
I went with a 4 inch lift from RC and sittin on 20x10s -25mm wrapped in some Kenda Klevers (35x12.50)
Been loving it so far, besides the sluggishness. Ordered a tune, to hopefully get some HP and Torque back. I probably should regear, but I can’t do it right now, gotta wait a bit.
I 100% got the look I was goin for and it came out as expected. Theres nothin that I regret, aesthetics wise. That gas mileage hurt a lil bit tho 😂
Haha yea that sluggishness and mpg is definitely result of bigger wheels and tires and added weight of kit. Tune definitely will help.it helped me a lot as I’m not regeared either
Facts bro, their customer service is great! Had a squeaky coilover (twice) I called (they picked up right away)
Call lasted 3 minutes
Boom, two days later I had a new coilover at my front door 😭
It’s insane how great they are
Exactly! Customer service is A1 and they stand behind their product glad they took care of your
Great review ...... Thanks for checking in.
Glad you enjoyed it bro! Thanks for watching!
I have the 4" RC kit with the N3 shocks and the front Coilovers. I have only had it since October, but it runs great. I was a little worried the ride quality would suffer, but it rides great! I'm a cheapskate, so even if I had the money, I can't see making a different choice, unless I was using it off-road all the time.
Nice man! Thanks for sharing your feedback! Glad you enjoying it
Love how smooth those tires are but up here in Illinois they are horrible in cold wet conditions. But I love my 19’ lariat with a RC and vertex I also changed my summer tires to Toyo MT for that aggressive look and the 10ply tire comfort and I’ve very satisfied. I’m sitting on 35x12.50r22
Very nice! I love the look of the Toyos mts. Preciate you watching bro
Honest and straight forward. Keep up the great work q.
Thanks bro I appreciate that!
Yea I came to that conclusion a while ago. I dont plan on lifting it too high just for my family sake. 2" lift just to fit some 33s under it should work best in my favor. I love the look of super lifted trucks but I cant see myself daily driving something like that everyday, especially in the city.
I definitely understand that man. I’ve been debating getting a cheap daily bad! I cheap lil tesla
I haven’t lifted my 2022 yet Q but I’m leaning towards Rough Country !! I don’t off-road either other than the occasional hay field in the summer!!!😎💪🙏🇺🇸
Yes sirr! Def do your research bro!
Nice. I’m running a RC 6” variable rate rear coils and monotube shocks. 22” fuel flame wheels. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 35x15.5r22 on a 2016 Ram Laramie.
Nice setup bro
video is good but please turn down the music i can barely hear you
Swing cases are storage boxes that fit over your bed fender tucked in your bed
Ahh ok umm yea definitely not my thing if I’m being honest
Another banger video🔥!! Appreciate the info bro!! 💯
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I have the 6" standard RC kit on my 2023 Ram 1500ETQ with the 35x12.5 Nito RGs and 20 inch Fuel wheels and it rides like a dream, better than stock but it might be because in general Rams ride better with the rear shock setup. I go out to the south 20 and have to drive off the pavement but i dont "off road"
Yes rams definitely have the best ride quality overall
I have a 6-Inch Rough Country lift (non Vertex) on my 2021 F-150 w/22x12 wheels on 35x12.50x22 and I have no issues with my setup whatsoever. I'm currently waiting on my new 24x12 wheels to come in for my new setup of 35x12.50x24.
Glad you enjoying it man! Congrats on the new setup
@@KickinItWithQ Thank you Q. Hopefully the 24's won't change the ride too much..
@@DalHarpJrthis is what I’m doing now. Just waiting on my wheels to come back front paint. Does it ride bad or is still good? I’m just worried about my wife and son not enjoying it on the highway. Idc about the ride for myself.
@@alexj835 It rides good! The only issue would be getting into the truck. I’m tall so it’s not an issue for me to step up on the running boards. I’ll be getting some Amp Research Power Steps to remedy that. But again, it’s a smooth ride
@@DalHarpJr Awesome man! Im 6'1" and my fiancee is 5'11" but ill get some steps when I can save money again lol. Thanks for the info!
Have a Zone 6” no need to retorque after first retorque after installing lift.
I don’t care about ride quality for myself but I’m worried about my fiancee and son on the highway. We go on short trips like 2 hour trips. I’m going with 24x12s on 33s, all terrain tires/ hybrid tires on 5/6 inch lift with NorCal mod. I’m also replacing control arms and ball joints.
Another consideration is if you go with a 6 inch lift you really will need to drop another 2k on the power steps if you plan on any passengers under 5'5" or with reduced mobility or just don't want to fall on your ass in the rain, mud, or snow. 😅
Absolutely! Steps are a must!
Hard choice for a 5th gen ram 1500 with air suspension. Want bds but they only go to 4inch (idk why no 6 inch) but rough country offers the 6 inch so it gives the best of both worlds of 4 & 6(off-road mode). Quality & performance is my top priority
I have 5th gen with air ride and I have the 6" RC. Love it.
@@BigRegDaCommishis the quality really their ? Hearing some say RC quality is low tier and some say quality is just below bds. The 4 inch option with bds is really a 1 inch difference in normal mode gives it a 3 inch increase and off road true 4 inch .
@@flamo1078 I've had mine on for 2 years and only had 1 minor issue which RC sent replacement part in 2 days free of charge. And my 6' lift is a true 6 inch in normal mode, 7 in Off-Road mode.
Why did you change out your control arms to BDS? And your RC shocks to fox?
Just a better alternative with the UCA over the factory ones. The Fox shocks are better than the RC shocks but I added the Fox before the vertex rear shocks came out. I want to swap eventually
@@KickinItWithQ do you know much about the RC loaded struts? Ive been recommended those versus the vortex coilovers mainly because of price. I’m still on a strut spacer but looking to change because I’m pretty sure my struts are worn out and either going to go ahead and get the loaded struts or save a little more and buy the vortex coilovers.
@jeremiahshamberger5932 I dont know off top my head. You can google it I’m sure
Beautiful truck bother love your videos, i been wanting to lift my truck 6 inches but scared i might mess up my suspension and been thinking of just doing the 3inch instead cause i do alot of off-road driving in the oilfields road are horrible, bit want to thank you for all this great info brother keep it up
Thanks bro! Glad to hear the videos help
Love the video Q AND I’M BACKKK BACKKK BACKKKKKK
Haha thanks bro I appreciate you watching and for the support
Ive thought about upgrading to fox coilovers in the front but they cost more than the original lift
I love mine i just need to get front coilovers i upgraded the rear to fox 2.0s
Def worth it. I actually think rough country just dropped some new vertex coilovers for the rear
Cold start Q, when are you going to put a bed cover & swing cases on RED?,you would get better gas mileage mileage by reducing all that drag 🤔
Swing cases…What’s that? Bed cover ummm if it happens I’ll get one but not seeking it. I definitely got a retractable one if I did.
FINALLY. Got damn I been waiting on a real RC review. Let’s see how this goes.
Ok after watching man, thank you. But MAN this video is exactly 3 days to late. I bought the BDS 2.5 elite. Had I had this video before I would’ve took your advice bro. Thanks anyway
Hopefully it helps you out bro!
Once again you don’t miss with the videos I’m getting the RC as well with the upgrade shocks myself trying to get the 37inch tires as well ima have to hit you up to pick your brain lol but great vid boss GB out!!!
I appreciate that bro. Thanks for watching this supporting and good luck on the lift kit too.
Q, u still my dude but on your RC vs BDS video, u said that when u put your truck into 4wd and start reversing, your cv axles pop.
Also, you and I both know dang well, when you buy a RC 6inch Vertex Coilover Kit, they don't give you no BDS upper control arm that you have installed. Mentioning this cause you said your upper control arm angle was spot on.
lol True that slight oversight on my behalf i dont remember. Yes that was my point in this video I mentioned my axels weren’t straight. Now I don’t know if the popping is because of the lift kit. That was just my assumption.
@@KickinItWithQ yea man, oversight/remember/don't remember,etc, you still said it (that your cv axles pop) at 6:30 in your TH-cam video posted online titled "6" Rough Country Vertex Coilover Lift Kit vs 6" BDS Coilover Lift Kit". Just remember, once u post stuff online, its out there. Anyone can find old stuff u said in the past with a click of a button.
In this video, yea you mentioned your cv axles werent straight but you forgot to mention the popping sound u get when u put it into 4wd and reverse. Also it is a fair assumption to make about the lift kit being the culprit, seeing the geometry angle they are with lift the kit that is installed.
@ChirpingChocobo oversight was not mentioning bds upper control arms. The popping noise since I never had that looked into I didn’t want to blame that on the lift kit.
@@KickinItWithQ i gotchu on the oversight but cmon Big Dawg, you said at 6:45 the same video, "that's probably what it is. (talking bout cv axles)
Stock truck with non angled cv axles = no popping while in Reverse in 4WD
Same Truck w/ 6" RC Vertex Coilover Kit and angled cv axles = popping sound while in Reverse in 4WD
Great video! Man I wish I had this knowledge when I first lifted my truck. 🤦🏾♂️ I could of saved so much money.
Live and learn bro! Preciate you tuning in
I've had 2 bad experiences with rough country lift
Sorry to hear that man
What's up cold start Q, my 3" coilovers kit front and rear f150 was $2835.00 from American Trucks & I'm riding good. Why red ain't got no pollen on her? 👍👌video 😊
Nice! Glad to hear it man! I had just whipped it down that’s why i decided to do a video 😂
Just got my truck in Jan 2020 rapid red and you are a bad influence but in a good way lol
Haha definitely a experience hobby
Was goin to go with a 6 til i saw your video about daily driving and i like my auto car washes at times so 3in what im going with
Yeah, going with a 6 inch kit bro definitely limits your auto car washes for sure
Say Q i have a question. When did you start fixing up your truck? And how long did it take you to fix up your truck? The reason why im asking i want to fix up my jeep but im getting impatient and of course it takes money
Had my truck since 2018 so 6 years to get where it’s at today
Yo Q get a 6.7 power stroke brotha you won’t regret it trust
It’s definitely top the list
gorgeous truck!
Red has been offroading once. The photo shoot under the bridge. Oh yeah the scratches on the roof did you get that fix? If not will you fix it?
Haha yea and that didn’t end well lol. Nah they still there. Probably not. Honestly you can’t even see it lol truck to tall
When you doing range day since you got a truck bro show them skills at the range we drive trucks lol and guns!!!!!
Haha man it’s been a minutes since we been. I want a new pistol honestly
That’s what’s up!!!!! ✊🏾👍🏾
I’m about to have mine installed by Royalty Kustoms
Ayye 🤝🏾💯 they good people
I'm debating lifting my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500, it is my daily driver tho. It's only the 5.3 V8 and I'm getting around 15ish mpg right now. I was thinking about going with the BDS 6in with the upgraded Fox 2.0 as well as the leaf springs. I'd probably end up with a tune and regearing as long as it doesn't void my warranty but I'll have to talk to the dealer about that. They already said I could lift it. Just not sure how I'll like the lift over stock for daily use. Looks wise I would love it lol
Another guy just commented that BDS honors the 60 K warranty on his truck
@@KickinItWithQ Thanks for the info! You're the best!
What's the tire and wheel set up?? That may have ride variable
24x14s on 37s
I have the 6 in rc and have no issues but it doesn't ride smooth at all. i dont have the vertex coilovers tho
Definitely look into getting vertex in front and rear
@KickinItWithQ probably will if I keep the truck she's got 105k miles now
Nice looking truck you have. What year? FX4?
It’s a 2015
Pavement Princess. I am doing it also. Thanks for the video
Np! Thanks for watching!
I need help. I got a 2023 powerboost f150 Im doing a 6 inch rc lift. People are saying don’t run 12 wides on wheels. Should I say fuck it and do it or no I want that offset. What are the cons of running 12 wides on a truck like this ?
Watch this video Should You Get 12 wides or 14 wides?
th-cam.com/video/WoV6UrEj0SM/w-d-xo.html
@@KickinItWithQ I actually did watch it. But I feel like a powerboost can be different due to it being a hybrid engine. Idk do you think I’ll be fine running 12 wides ?
@dgomadeit5593 yea 12s imo are the perfect setup for daily driving
Hi. This might be a silly question but we would like to know. My grandson is buying parts to do the lift on his truck and we already realized the comming issues with bumpy rides and other changes like fuel consumption, which is ok... But regarding the fuel, did you experienced a huge difference in gas comsumption after lifting your truck?
Thanks in advance.
I avg around 13-14 mpg and I have ton of performance parts. So it’s a pretty good hit.
@@KickinItWithQ Thanks for the information. Be safe. 👍🏻
Is it true that having 37s tire on a lift adds an extra 1 inch to the overall height ?
Yes, because a 37 inch tire is taller than a 35 or a 33
Great video as always! How much cutting did you have to do to fit 37s? I have 35s on a 6in rough country and want to put 37s like you.
They had to cut the front bumper, front crash bars, rear crash bars, and trim the plastics on the fender well
@@KickinItWithQ damn! They charge extra for that?
@rikoc5757 yes, usually included in the labor
@@KickinItWithQ thanks man. appreciate you always responding bro. Take care
@rikoc5757 you too bro!
Your paint job is clean. Do you have paint correct with a ceramic coating? I have a 2018 F150 Platinum with 104,000 miles on it. I'm in the process of building my truck, and watching your videos has given me plenty of things to choose from. I have chosen a lot of the same things you added to your truck, well, except for the lift kit. Im going with the 6in BDS coilover with the 2.5 fox.
Nice bds is an excellent kit 👌🏾 man everyone ask me that and I’ve never had it painted corrected definitely has some swirls. The previous owner may have had it ceramic coated but I’m not sure
What tuner did you use for your AWE exhaust? I'm preparing to buy the exact same one that you have, except I'm getting the resignated exhaust. I have the Morimoto headlights, taillights, fog lights, and the S&B cold air intake. Next month, I'm going to get the intercooler, and May or June, it will be the 24x12 TIS wheels with the 37x13.5 nitto AT tires I forgot I just got my Morimoto grill color matched with my truck. It's a Magma Red. Ford doesn't use that color anymore.
@lorenzogould4443 I used MPT Performance and you got that truck looking good bro good stuff
Thanks, man. I will check that site out and see what they got. I am checking youtube for more content that you post. It really helps out a lot because, to be honest, I didn't know where to start or where I could find the items that I would need.
@lorenzogould4443 glad the videos help 🤝🏾
Love that truck
I appreciate it bro 🤝🏾💯
Q , have you experienced any Screeching in steering wheel on your f150??
I have
@@KickinItWithQ what you think it is? Have you gotten it checked out?
@@Eazy-cp1rz my bad bro I meant I have not
no problem bro .. truck looking good... keep up great work with your channel...@@KickinItWithQ
@Eazy-cp1rz 🤝🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I appreciate it bro! 🤝🏾
Yo Q 💪
Yo what’s good bro!
Just get. Raptor at this point guys..
Or build one. That’s the beauty of these trucks, with enough time and money a person can build a sweet rig for much less than what a Raptor would cost.
