I need help on which lift to go with on my 89 s15 jimmy 4x4. superlift 2.5 or the rough country 2.5. i got the t bars cranked now and i was thinking about just replacing the UCAs with aftermarket ones from superlift($300) or should i just buy the complete rough country lift for $450. Opinions.

 

Go for the rough country 2.5 lift. Your jimmy will thank you in the long run. I say this because the rough country kit comes with diffy drop brackets to help the angles after a t-bar crank.

 

Ok thanks. I just did the t bar crank but now I'm getting popping noises from the front end I think I got bad ball joints and bushings. Ordering kit Friday along with new lcas.

 

Do I have to use the shocks that come with it or can I use my shocks I got it now they are fox racing shocks. I would hate to get rid of them.

 

Popping could be a lot of things including the ball joints. And you will want to run longer shocks than stock. If those fox shocks are for the stock size, they won't work. They included longer shocks in the kit for a reason. The only thing I can see is ordering other shocks the same length as the rough country ones if you don't like the rc shocks. The stock shocks may top out and prevent suspension movement, that is the reason to use longer shocks.

 

I've heard things about steering problems. I plan on buying the stabilized but I hear it messes with geometry and makes your steering tight. Which wears out you tie rods and all other steering problems. Someone also said the rc shocks suck. I plan on making my truck a prerunner so I want the fox shocks anyway. Do I need to get an alignment when I install the lift. How long does it take to install the lift.

 

Does anyone have a coupon code for polyperfomance.com. or rocky mountain susp. Or any other place that sells the rc lift.

 

Yes, after any ifs lift, you will need an alignment.

Here is a youtube vid that might help you out.

This is a fellow members youtube video of installing the lift. This is a 2nd gen, but the 1st gen is similar.

 

Tibby, your avatar had me going for a good 5 minutes brother. Well done, and nice vid too. Thanks.
