Check your clearances and adjust your bumpstops so nothing hits.

Surely they have fixed it by now but they did have a rap going about liking to punch holes in D35 differential cases under hard flex.

My credo
Fix it till its broke!
I'm going to be ordering here real soon, any dealers offering discounts, I read on another forum a military discount with one company, I'd be interested in things like that. Anyone got any other recommendations with this lift? Any sponsor discounts? What about brake lines? Any bolts it doesn't come with we should be aware of etc?

I'm running a full 4" RC lift and 285/75r16's. Basically almost a 33". Clears just fine

The kit is a good kit for the money. The brackets have been redesigned again. Comes with all you need except extended brake lines but there is an article in the tech library of a cheaper way to do it than stainless steel lines.

The main thing you'll find is the coils are stiff. That's the main down fall in my opinion. However they are redesigning the kit with softer springs. Call rough country in Dyersburg TN and see if you can order the kit straight from them with the softer coils. I'll get the number for Ryan and you call him and see what he can do for you. Tell him Ben(4.0b2) from MSJ and TRS sent you. Ask about the softer coils and see what you find out. I'll edit this with his phone number in a min

This goes for anyone wanting to order a kit. Call RC direct and see if they offer a military discount.
