Cant Complain Take A Look

I decided to see what the limits of the suspension on the truck. I am prowd to say that i cant really complain about what i came out with. the rough country suspension did more than what I thought I would be able to get out of it considering peoples general opinion on them.

Not to be critical, but you could have gotten more flex if you positioned your truck a little differently and got your tire all the way on top of the snow mound. You can get more flex than that.

It also looks like your front suspension really didn't do any of the work.

Plus that long of a truck will have some good frame flex.

But I like my Rough Country, too....

Ya I did this at about 2 in the morning after coming home. Showing off to the drunks walking by the complex. There was a jeep parked right next to it so i didnt want to get to agressive and slide into it. I am planning on trying to get higher.

Here are some pictures to try and salvage my pride in the truck.









It got some better movement in the front and rear.

Not bad for a stupid duty. Have to keep the springs stiff these things weigh so much, hard to get good flex out of them without losing the capability it was designed for.
