Re: Ruff Country lift??
Yes, the suspension is stiff, causing a rough ride.
Yes, the transfer case is still above the axles, it's just lowered almost 2"
from the frame rails.
Yes, you can fit 33s. I haven't had any rubbing issues with my 33.
I'd swear the lift sat at almost 5" for the longest time and to this day is
higher than 4".

Re: Ruff Country lift??
Flexes like crazy (well, for a short-arm, bushing-style-LCA kit). For $500
you can't beat it. Wish I'd had the money for a long arm kit. Don't think
I'd ever had lifted it if I had to wait that long.
Here's a couple of shots of it's flex:

http://www.baileyscorner.com/images/...nRun/eric1.JPG
Keep in mind, you'd tear your stock brake lines right out doing that. The
ones I have are stainless steel lines for a full-size chevy. Got them from
4wheel parts for cheap. I'll hunt down the part number if you're
interested.
