Dropping lift kit height (rough country)?

[_Nelson_]

My new bronco is a bit too tall. Dealer said it was a 2 1/2" lift. I think it's a 3 1/2". Supposed to be a ruff country brand. Is there some spacers somewhere that can be removed to drop it an inch or so?

So you had the dealer put a ruff country lift on your truck when it arrived at the dealership.

It fits in the garage what the problem. Or your like my wife and vertically challenged. Get some side steps.

The 2 inch is just spacers so you take those off you loose your lift. The 3.5 has spacers but had other pieces with it so if you take pieces away you probably going to get a weird ride.

12 bucks at Walmart. Just throw in the back seat when your in the truck.

Bearly fits in garage. I'm 6 ft, the wife struggles to get in it. How can I tell how tall the lift is and how hard is it to drop it a couple inches?

It's only too tall if you put the lift on inside your garage and it won't make it back outside.

Dealers usually brag about the lifts they overcharge for on these. That’s the best place to start. They paid for it. Someone has the receipt.

Does look a little jacked from the one picture you posted. Hopefully, you can get it to your liking.

Rough Country has a 2" or a 3.5" lift for the Bronco. The 2" only has spacers, whereas the 3.5" also changes out the upper control arms. Should be about a $500 difference in price. What did you pay for the lift?

It's a base model that the dealer put some mods on including this lift in order to add value. Could never get an answer what they paid (must have been a fortune for what they charged me. Lol)

Is there a way I can look and tell what I got?

This is the kit. The upper control arms have a "RC" on them as you can see. That should tell you if they changed those out or not.

Yup. So I can I just remove spacers or do control arms have to be replaced?

Keep the lift and get some Rockslide Engineering deployable steps, they drop down 12". Then you and your wife will have the best of both Worlds.

My understanding of that lift would be that you probably got about 2.5 inches of lift in the rear and 3.5 in the front to level it out. It is the same lift I am going to do. If the lift is too high for you, I would check with Rough Country to see if there is a way to modify what you have or if you will have to just remove the components and replace with a smaller lift.
