First I would like to thank you for your service, my freedom is because of all of you service men and women. Second, I couldn't agree more about the install. I am currently installing my Rough Country 6" lift kit on my 2016 Ram 1500 sport 4x4. I tell ya when doing it by yourself in your driveway it takes time. Especially getting the diff out. Them driver side mounting bolts are tight to get too and not to mention the red loctite they have on them. Looks good bud and cant wait to finish mine. Only rear left to do. I have a custom 2006 i"m driving in the mean time.
@@j5.7s12 Josh if my mind serves me right the front has like a 1/2 inch difference and i think it's because of the weight of engine and such. I think it has a great stance with the 35 gladiators and custom wheels.
Thanks for the video man. I installed 3” lift kit from a professional dealer and Someone on my channel said my shocks are upside down. I’m gna call them tomorrow. 👍 thanks for the info.
Installing 6 inch kit on my 09 dodge ram 5.7. Was it hard to align rear track arm bracket. The hardest part i found was accessing the front diff bolts the top by the motor mount. Great job looks great.
I've installed a couple lift kits on jeeps but now I'd rather pay the money to have it installed. Lots of time and energy to do it yourself that's for sure.
I here you . I'm doing my 07 now and my biggest problem so fat is my lower control arm bolts wouldn't come out. So I had to cut them and I replaced them and the bushings in arm.
We're 3 years down the road now... How are you feeling about this kit? I have a 19' r and I'm thinking about going this route and doing it myself. I'm mechanically inclined and my wife was a diesel mechanic in the army.
Lol I have a problem breaking bolts or wrenches haha nice truck nice job on the lift I wanna do this to my dodge I'm gonna take it some where I know where too but my conundrum is rims and tires ugh so much out there
Mr. Spade I still love the lift. I went back and added leveling spacers and the rough country struts. I just drove cross country while pulling a car with no issues
I know I might be kinda late. I am glad you made a video because like you said.. even till this day there’s roughly any videos... but I bought the 6’ rough country lift kit that includes struts too and I’m just worried and wanted to know if everything that I will need is in the kit and won’t have to buy other parts last minute? Thanks from what it looks like I probably won’t but I’d love to hear from someone who has crossed that bridge already thank you
What rough country kit, I’m about to buy a 6 inch rough country with strut spacers but I see that the second option is with lifted struts and that’s gonna be 330$ more, lmk please if with struts spacers is enough or I have to get the lifted struts, that way I can get the right one
Thanks for the video and your service. Just a heads up for the future. You dont have to compress the rear coils to remove them. Just need an adjustable cylinder style jack. Unbolt your shocks, unbolt your rear sway bar, and use the Jack to lift the body away from your axle. It goes up quite a bit, then you just grab the springs right out freely. How is the ride quality? Did you need an alignment after? I have a half ass lift on my truck, went the cheap route for now.
Great vid gonna be doing this to my 2014 here in a few months probably also gonna be doing in in my driveway can’t lie I’m excited as hell for it but I’m also trying to do as much research as I can that instruction sheet only tells so much lol also lastly what did you have to do with the rear seat bar? The instructions say something about drilling and correct placement of the new brackets
jferrara43 it’s all pretty simple. The directions tell you exactly what to do and how to relocate them. As for the diff harness it pretty stretched to get it back connected but it works
Did you have any rear vibration or bounciness after installing this kit? I just installed the 4 inch kit on my ram 1500 and I get rear vibration at 50-70mph. I don’t know what’s causing it unless I got some defective shocks.
I did have the bouncing in the rear and that’s when I called them sent them a video and they identified my shocks were upside down as soon as I turned them the correct way I had no issues at all if you installed the shocks based off of the pictures on the instructions they are wrong
I sold the truck but I’m still I contact with the guy and see it all the time. It’s still has everything I installed with no issues with the lift. Now the headers are a different story
For someone who’s not extreamly mechanically inclined but decent and who daily drives there ram would you recommend doing it your self or to pay to have a shop do it
That’s hard to say to be honest. If you are not mechanically inclined installing this might be more trouble than it’s worth, But on the other hand if you pay some company they should warranty the work
hey man can you please load a another video. About your review on this Kit and like have you had any mechanical problems on your truck after doing the lift. any ball joint problems or tie rod problems stuff like that.
Unfortunately I will not be able to upload another video. I sold the truck a couple months ago but I will tell you that the two years of owning the truck after the lift I had zero issues with the lift with the upper or lower control arms or any type of bushings. I drove the truck cross country while towing a car trailer with the 6 inch lift with no issues other than my awesome gas mileage I got
My truck rides horrible over every bump or Crack. How do I change that to ride smooth like stock,,, like it's insane if I hit a small Crack it sways the truck left or right it's horrible
It should not be doing that!! Did you do the install your self? If so I would double check everything to ensure you installed it correctly. If you hired a company take it back and tell them what it’s doing
@@Leach03XX I paid a rough country installer to install it. It's very dangerous to drive on freeway any small bump just sways the truck side ways. It's the same set up as you have but I have 22x35 wheels and tires
I just sold my 2017 1500 ram sport 4x4 move bumper had a 8.0 inch lift on 40x14.50R22x14 -73 americain forse wheels. straight pipe no cats or resonators with 4inch pipeing true duals x pipe 5 inch tips at the tail gate 4.58 gears bully dog tuner open headers intake injectors cam and new manifolds over 520hp to the wheel.

I also own a 6.0 has 60k miles on it stock motor for most part 5 inch staright and tune gears and some small 38x13.50R17 on a 5 inch lift daily drive that shit.
Mike Siemens I said Very mechanically inclined not Super!! I followed the directions to a T and while installing them even questioned it. I thought to myself this is a million dollar company so they must be right, obviously NOT. Not my fault the directions were wrong.
@@Leach03XX alright so I ended up buy this 6in lift kit for my 2012 ram 1500, with 20x12 -44 wheels and 35x12.5r20 tires. So i need to get a 2in leveling in order to have the ram level without rake?

Nice video, dude.i have one exactly like your truck.do you have problems with your suspension when driving, like hitting a pothole or turns?
I actually sold the truck. I did drive it cross country towing a car and didn’t have a single issue.

Still on the truck, and it’s still holding up great. I tried my best being as informative as possible for anyone installing.
@@Leach03XX yea. You already changed what I'm gonna order. Making sure I don't have to compress springs.
@Dan Leach did you end up getting the vortex coil overs from rough country? How does it ride compared to stock and do you take it offroad at all?

I hear something rattling after my lift was installed. Don't know what the issue is.
I would go back and retrace your install and ensure all bolts are tightened. Put your hands on every part to see if it’s loose

@@Leach03XX did you have to do any trimming to fit the 37s?
@@d3adt3dgam3s9 no I didn’t. It did rub at full turn on the frame, but barely

Those you reuse

Yes you’ll need to get an offset wheel

Does your truck bed make noises when ya drive over or through pot holes and shit like that? I'd love to know

James Leach thank you that’s what I needed to know
Did you ever notice that there’s 2 bolts missing at the drop bracket for the transfer case . Look closely at 3:04 . Look behind your hand .
Did you upgraded your upper control arms??
martin rodriguez no I did not
Hey man what size spacer was on the back?
It was what came in the kit. To be honest I have no idea.
Do you get any vibrations going down the highway?
No!! Not sure why you would be getting a vibration
I do, exactly at 70 mph. I have a 4 inch rough country lift. Did you figure out what your vibration was?
Your lower control arms are aluminum or steel
