P1000 Rough Country lift kit

[BillChestnutt]

Has anyone installed the Rough Country 3 inch lift on their P1000? If so, how do you like it? I’m needing a little more ground clearance for our Arizona trails.

I have the high lifter 2.5" lift. Very similar in design. I had to run wheel spacers even with my aftermarket 5+2 wheels. I am not a picky person so the ride quality from factory to lifted height feels the same. I know most will claim it's stiffer. I like my lift and I accompanied it with the arched arms and that combo seems to work super well for clearance.

Some extra info:
I chose the high lifter for the fact my pioneer dealer is a high lifter dealer and told me they would warranty my machine thru their extended warranty program as long as I chose to stick with high lifter products. If I were braver and did not worry about warranty coverage I would have gone cfab without thinking twice. However, I financed my machine and therefore purchased the extended warranty with the sole mindframe that if I'm making monthly payments I don't want to pay more out of pocket for repairs.

Personally I would get bigger tires, fox shocks and set your preload and get that 3” yet not reduce handling and improve your ride.

2019 P1K-3 yes, we have the 3" RC lift front and rear... I know there is a lot of good info about ride quality on factory and it gets worse with the bracket lift. They are probably correct but I don't think the ride is that bad (although I would probably think differently if I installed any other shocks). Anyway, we also installed 28" tires on 5-2 15" wheels, we really like this set-up!

And some forward arched arms!

@BillChestnutt, your question besides the rough country part has been beat to death at mercy on this forum. Basically, the bracket lift F’s with the geometry of your suspension putting your shocks in an almost vertical position, not to mention your camber is now way off thus Making your ride much harsher and all kinds of abnormal things that in time having you doing repairs that could have been prevented. I did a Bracket lift early on for a year and a half and fiddle fuced with all kinds of $hit, took it off and did the above mentioned and it was like going from a dozer to a Lincoln And bever looked back!
