rough country = POS
IMO the SS irok radials are well worth the money.
here's a few pix of my old '97 3/4ton 6" procomp, 2" ford keys, 1/2 ton rear lifted springs, 37" irok radials on 16x10 discount tire wheels (woohoo). ne ways, here's a few pix.

Just curious Jakebd, but why is Rough Country junk?
It drops the diff. very close to 6", nice spindles and no torsion bars hanging down? I've had mine on for about 20K now and the front end is as tight as it was when I bought the truck. Also the ride is very nice and I have FORD keys in it also.

(I don't have access to a welder or torch.)
Magoo, I have that same lift on my truck and love it. I've been off road a couple times, nothing serious and haven't had a single problem even after 20K in less than a year.

I am hearing that I will need a 6" lift plus a 3" bl to fit 35" tires. If I can fit 33" tires just by changing the keys, why can't i fit 35" tires with only a 6" lift
