Rough Country Lift?

[Lordsandy]

2023 Wildtrack Sasquatch, Can I add a 2.5” Rough Country lift in addition to a front end leveling I already have installed?
I’m running with a winch and would like to have both if possible.
Thanks.

I won’t mention the major reasons why it’s not a great idea cause there are hundreds of threads on that already but physically speaking it might be possible..
Did the leveling spacers you used just slip over the existing top hat studs on the shock or are they offset and have their own studs? If they’re just the skinny slip on kind then you might not have enough factory stud to bolt the 2.5” spacer to depending on how thick the RC spacer is in the bolt hole (never used them so idk).
again, might wanna just start at searching why using a 3.5”+ spacer is a bad idea and go from there.
If you wanna go that route I’d look at just adding a perch collar lift to your existing small spacer lift (similar to something like Zone’s approach)

The RC lift kit is top hat style for front and rear.

It's nice that it includes new UCAs and a track bar offset bracket.

As @V1Rotate says, I wouldn't do a top hat on top of a top hat, but you maybe could do a shim on top of a top hat.

If that's a good idea or not ...

For not much more money - you could just replace the front and rear coil overs entirely with the the 4WP/ Pro Comp VSRTs that have a fully adjustable collar, give you about 2.5" of lift minimum, let you level on the fly if your loads change in the future, and get you a much better suspension than stock. They are still on fire sale around the internet it seems.

Buy once, cry once.

I would seriously do something (anything) other than a spacer lift on an IFS vehicle.

I would not do more than a 2” spacer lift (without a diff drop) to keep the CVs in the “safe“ zone at full droop but folks do get away with it…

what your looking to do you would need the front split spacer that comes in the 3.5 kit up front and the rear 2.5 spacer . i have the 3.5 kit. i am using my 2 in spacer with 5100 on setting 1 to make a 3 in on my bronco. so i have the one part you need to do it right. when i got my kit it was the 2.5 and they sent me the 3.5 spacers so i have both i had the 2 in already.
