I've got it. Expect the same problems as wth any outside of the strut spacer lift.

Yea, you would need to make a bumpstop for the upper a-arm..

jg45 is right

You are going to need to do this to prevent a-arm contact

Then you are going to have to worry about this

In reality if you don't wheel it hard you will probably be okay, but still for the money you can get other lifts that preform better.

I got Al's A-Arms to fix the contact problem. The over-compression of the strut is the main concern. So far I haven't blown the strut, but I am just waiting for it to happen.

i have the lift and I havent had many problems with it. My only complaint is that the rear end sits about a 1/2 in. lower than the front. This happened once it settled. i called rough country and sent them pictures but i never got any response.

AllJs has some 1/2" spacers for the rear or you could go to the dealer and get another set of upper spring pads. Either of these ways are cheap and will give you that half inch back.
