Is Rough Country Really THAT BAD!?

Is Rough Country a good brand? Are their coilovers any good? Are their kits worth the price and do they hold up? THIS is our opinion.

I have a rough country bumper and I called them with a question while installing it at 10am on a Saturday, and they answered the phone within a couple of rings and I got an answer to my question from a real person. That’s a big deal in my book.

“If you’re here then you’re probably in the market for a lift”. Nah YouTube’s algorithm brought me here

I have three different trucks with rough country lifts in them. I have not had a single issue with any of the lift kits that I have installed they've come with all the parts necessary as well as instructions to install them properly. Their customer service is second to none with phone options and chat options. I have a rough country lift kit in my mud truck and I pound the piss out of it and it handles everything I throw at it without a problem

I installed a 6’ rough country kit on my 05’ gmc 1/2 ton, installed great and had no issues, complete kit and haven’t had any problems in the last three years with it, rides great and would recommend the kit

I had a 6 lift for 3 years with no issues, now have a 7.5 inch lift with traction bars, still no issues after 2 years.

Added Rough Country 2"- 1" leveling kit to my 2018 4 Runner, love the look, ride didn't change, and 20K miles later, no issues. I am happy with my

I've used Rough Country's Vertex shocks before on my old 2007 JK, and they performed just fine. Never noticed any ride quality issues with them on while I had my JK. It seems their quality has improved over recent years. I wouldn't hesitate to buy their products again in the future.

Have had a 2" RC lift on my 99 Wrangler, and currently run a 6" RC lift on my 2011 F150. No complaints. Ride quality is as good as stock and handles well on and off road. Shocks are getting better... still ran ES9000 Pro Comps in the rear though.

I have a Rough Country 6" long arm lift on my Jeep TJ and it has performed flawlessly. I off-road almost every weekend and also have a LS conversion so I don't cut it any slack. I'm looking at the coilovers now and will probably purchase those too...

I would say RC kits are more for vehicles that stay in the pavement. Their Monotube shocks are good for the price, and their Vertex shocks are pretty solid. I deal with them, sell their products, and I can say that their customer and dealer service is amazing. They ship out whatever you need no questions asked. They’re readily available, and whenever I sell their lift kits. I don’t have to worry about ordering multiple boxes at a time

Running a 3” RC lift on my 10 Tacoma with shocks all the way around. No problems. Whole kit and install was 640. Even if it did blow out I wouldn’t mind buying another since it’s so cheap.

I agree %100 I own Grimm Brothers Offroad in Ashland and I have to say Rough Country has really stepped up their game in terms of Suspension quality. Just last week we installed a 3.5" lift on a JK and yesterday we received another Job with the exact same lift, but this time it came with control arm drops and in the box with a new drop pitman arm. These items were previously sold separately, but it seems rough country has become more conscious to the fact that today's consumers do not want to sacrifice ride quality for a lifted suspension and are answering that call.

As a master tech w my own shop ive been using rough country for many many years. Ive had great luck w easy lifetime warr. After 6y i broke a coil in v8 zj they sent me 2 so it would sit level totally free. I wheel couple times a week and have no issues at all.

I have a 7 year old 4" rough country lift on my 92 Dodge w250.
Last month while driving in heavy winds, a 10" diameter tree came down across the road in front of me. I hit it at over 50mph. Only damage to the suspension is the leaf spring bushings. And right rear shackle for the front leaf spring.
( other damage was 2 front tires, centerlink, tie rod ends, and front stabilizer link ends,
But for such a solid impact the damage was very slight.

[whodatisful]

Well considering that i take my truck offroading alot. And shit inevitably breaks. Id rather spend less lol. Ill leave the expensive stuff for the pavement princesses

[RobDaKid]

Ive had a Rough Country lift on my 2012 Wrangler and haven’t ever had any issues. Gonna get it for my 2019 soon too.

[tronarat]

I bought my truck and before my first oil change I had a rough country 4 inch lift put on, my truck does it all for my wife and daughter, it pulls a trailer it takes us camping and hunting and we hit trails with it on the weekends we live near death valley which means we are on rocks the second we pull off pavement so far I've had 0 issues with the lift its held up and got us home everytime most guys who run a lift dont use thier trucks for much off road and we aren't those people we run lipencot mine road out to the race track on a monthly basis so that's just my 2 pennies on the issue my next truck will get another rc lift

love the 4.5" lift on my 91 cherokee, been on the jeep for about 8 years now. rides smoother than stock and very stable on the freeway too. really good off road, especially with the sway bar disconnected.

[dendre]

Just finished a 6" lift on my 2000 silverado. Everything came well packaged and the ride is even better than it was stock. Time will tell on overall durability.
