Default Rough Country 6 inch lift info

Hey guys, just saw a post from Rough Country on Facebook about their 6 inch lift for s10s and blazers. They had the kit on a mid 90s s10 and it looks good. Just needs bigger than stock tires lol. I'll post the link when I get home.

Edit: Hopefully this kit will be available to us in a few months.

Edit: Here is the pic, just got home.

Me too. Sway bar drop bracketry and torsion bar drop down brackets are visible. This is very interesting

Edit: Nearly every time I see any kind of lift I'm happy.

It looks interesting to me. Got an email back from RC today and they said no price set and no release date yet, but it supposedly has blocks for the rear (after the axle under swap), new n2.0 shocks, t-bar drop brackets, heavy duty skid plate, and I'm assuming there has to be a front diff drop bracket due to the lift height and obviously the front sway bar drop bracket from the pic

im not a big fan of all those drop brackests. they make torsion keys for the arms so the torsion bars can stay up tight in the body (RC has them for there fullsize chevy lifts)- wounder why they didnt use them.
also why not have some type of extended links for the sway bars to keep them up higher as well. maybe could include some disconnects for the sway bars while they are at it.
did RC say if there would be a ZR2 option?
