Rough Country 3.5" Lift Kit with Strut Spacers/N3 Rear Shocks for Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 1500 (2007-2016) - Silver Control Arms

Review of the 3.5-Inch Lift Kit for Truck I recently installed a 3.5-inch lift kit on my truck, and I’m thoroughly impressed with the results. Here’s a breakdown of my experience with this kit: Installation The installation process was straightforward, though it did require a bit of time and some mechanical know-how. If you’re familiar with basic truck maintenance or have experience with lift kits, it’s a manageable job that can be done in a day with the right tools. The kit came with clear instructions, and all the necessary hardware was included. However, if you’re a beginner, you may want to have a professional do the installation to ensure everything is done correctly. Build Quality The quality of the components is solid. The shocks, springs, spacers, and brackets that came with the kit all feel robust and well-made. After driving with the lift kit installed for several weeks, I’ve noticed no signs of wear or issues with any of the parts. The materials seem durable enough to handle off-roading conditions and regular road use. The kit also includes everything necessary for both front and rear lift, ensuring balanced height across the truck. Performance & Handling The 3.5-inch lift gives my truck a much more aggressive stance, improving its appearance significantly. It also accommodates larger tires (which is one of the main reasons I got the lift), offering better ground clearance for off-road adventures. After installing the lift kit, I noticed a slight change in handling, but nothing dramatic. The truck feels more stable on rough terrain, and the ride quality is actually a bit better when off-roading—smoother bumps and better shock absorption. On paved roads, the ride is also more comfortable compared to other lifted trucks I’ve driven, although you can feel a bit more body roll on sharp turns. In terms of alignment, after installation, I did have to get my truck realigned. It’s recommended to align the vehicle after lifting, as it can affect steering angles and tire wear. Aesthetic Appeal One of the most noticeable changes was the visual impact. The 3.5-inch lift really makes a difference in the truck’s overall appearance. It looks much more rugged and off-road-ready, and the extra height gives it a commanding presence on the road. The additional clearance also gives the truck a more proportional look, especially when paired with larger wheels and tires. Pros: • Increased ground clearance allows for larger tires and better off-road capabilities. • Aggressive, tough look adds to the truck’s aesthetic appeal. • Improved ride quality off-road, especially on uneven or rugged terrain. • High-quality, durable components included in the kit. • Straightforward installation for those with some mechanical experience. Cons: • The truck’s handling can feel slightly different, especially around corners—though this is typical with lift kits. • Realignment is necessary post-installation, which can incur additional cost. • Ride stiffness might increase slightly on paved roads, especially if the suspension is on the firmer side. Conclusion Overall, the 3.5-inch lift kit has been a great upgrade for my truck. It provides better clearance, a more aggressive look, and enhanced off-road performance without compromising too much on ride quality. While it may require a bit of work to install and some extra attention to alignment, the performance gains and aesthetic improvements are well worth it. Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast or just want a more rugged appearance, this lift kit is a solid choice that delivers.

Muy bueno 💯

Not bad at all didn’t lift it too high just enough to get me off the ground easy to install if you are mechanically inclined and have a lift.

Easy install (mostly). Dropping the diff was the hardest, not a lot of room in between the diff and crossmember so it took forever grinding on the diff to get enough room to get the 1" pucks in. Other than that, the results are awesome!

Everything was in the box how I expect it. It’s great! Great delivery as well, friendly staff too.

Beginning measurement 36 9/16. Final measurement 41". Measured from ground to center of fender well. 2014 factory suspension was ready to be changed out. Extremely happy with ride. Belle Tire, alignment next day. Actually started the install Friday late afternoon. 4 hours on front struts and upper control arms. Woke up started on cross member and transfer case spacers @ 8am. Moved to the rear installed the rear blocks. All on the ground no lifts. Showered and to Belle Tire by 1pm, alignment 1Hr. Factory 18" with BFGoodrich K02 LT275 65's. Small road trip est. 56miles round trip. 70 mph stable, and no vibrations.

THIS IS NOT A 3.5 LIFT. IN THIS KIT THERE IS 2 INCH BLOCKS WITH STRUTS. FALSE ADVERTISING. Sent wrong parts. The back is about two inches shorter than the front. Makes no sense. Plus some of the lock nuts supplied for the struts didn’t fit and stripped the bolts. Had to fabricate something to make it work.

Tenía desconfianza en comprar este kit porqué había escuchado muchas opiniones malas de de este kit. Pero la verdad estoy muy contento. Lo recomendaría mucho comprarlo, le da un aspecto muy diferente a tu carro y las piezas son de excelente calidad

Wasn't bad to install but you do loose your ride .

Good price. Easy to install. Good instructions.

tres bon
