2008 Ford F150 w/ 6" Rough Country Lift & 18" KMC XD Monsters

Share |

After about 5,500 miles of debating I decided to order a lift for my '08 F150. There are so many companies that make lift kits for these trucks that I went back and forth on which kit would best fit my needs. At this time the best price would help make my decision. You can get a Procomp kit for around $1,700 or a Fabtech for around the same price.

We started carrying products from Rough Country Suspension so I started looking into their kits. There aren't a lot of trucks with this kit that I could find but the price was $1399.99 for a complete kit. Once the kit arrived I unboxed it right away to make sure that everything was there so I would not run into missing parts when I was ready to start the install. The kit looks great! It really looks like Rough Country took their time in making this kit; I'm not saying there is anything bad with a procomp kit, but the way that rough country designed the front cross member looks so much better than other kits that I have looked at.

When I got off work Friday I wanted to get some of the front taken apart so it would be a little less stress on Saturday. It ended up taking all weekend! But it I'm sure it could be done in one full day if you have a couple extra set of hands. I was by myself most of the time :(

Well here are some pictures with Rough Country 6'' Lift kit RCS-576S and Black 18x9 KMC XD Monsters part number  XD-77889067712N

The only thing I can think of is where you have to cut the frame cut a little more than they say in the instructions. I swear I set the front differential up there 15 times. Have a couple of friends with you. I was stuck alone the whole weekend so it made it boring..

Where are you getting the kit from? We will beat any price you find.

will a truck like this fit in a one car garage so you don't have to park it outside all the time

No it fits in my garage, it's pretty close to the top of the garage door but it makes it in.

Hey edavis.  I am really glad i ran into this thread on the net.  I am currently pricing and trying to choose a 6'' lift for my truck.  What is your company called and where are you guys located?  Will you ship to Canada?  Any information you can give me would be great.  I look forward to your reply.  Thanks man.

I lost about 50 miles to a tank! But it's worth it if u ask me. If you do a tune you can get some of that back but power wise didn't notice anything. Good luck I just bought a 2010 f250 power stoke so I have to start all over again:(
