Rough Country 3" needs leveling kit?

[TJen'sFJ]

I have the Rough Country 3" with front strut extensions and rear springs and shocks. I don't think the front is high enough. I'm happy with the rear.

What options do I have to get the front a lil higher?

I dont want to add another spacer. Anyone else have this issue with the RC3?

That's normal the RC kit keeps some factory rake. This way when you put passengers in the back and some gear your not driving with the nose higher, blinding on coming traffic with your lights. If you don't want to leave it then Toytec, has what you don't want spacers to level it out.

Yes, I had the same issue with the Rough Country and with time it even went lower. When I decided I was going with a winch and an aftermarket front bumper I had to take out the front spacers to avoid even more rake. Replaced with Camburg front suspension and couldn't be happier.

thanks for the input. I think I'll stay with the RC3 for a little while at least.

BTW. Did you have any trouble with the alignment after you got the lift put on. The dealer in Northern VA didn't really know what to do with it. From the posts on the alignment specs, I learned that the Camber was the most important thing to get to 0. Unfortunatley, I didn't learn that till after they tried. Nothin changed. they worked with the caster and the toe, so i'm still drifting all over the place.

How much did the Camburg cost since you kept the RC3 rear. Nice, btw. It looks great.
