Rough Country 3" Lift Questions

I just ordered a Rough Country 3" lift today and I forgot to ask the dude a couple of questions. So for those of you that have installed them, does the brake line need to be extended at all? Is there any extra hardware needed? Or does everything that I need come with the kit? Any help as far as installation goes would be greatly appreciated, because I'll be installing it myself in my driveway.

Re: Rough Country 3" Lift Questions

just got mine this week, ordered it back before the end of '07 they were backordered waiting on shocks. there wasn't any instructions with it at all but it looks as straight forward as can be. now if the weather would warm up a little i'll tear in to it. no way this can be an 8 hour job i'm betting on 3 to 4 at the most.

Re: Rough Country 3" Lift Questions

Which shocks do you get with the 3". Is it the stock shock with a spacer?

Re: Rough Country 3" Lift Questions

The Rought Country 3" lift comes complete with everything you need. Not necessary to extend the brake lines. I did the install with a friend and it took about 2.5hrs. Directions are good and parts are good quality. Pretty good bang for the buck.
