Hi everyone, I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the Rough Country 3" Lift for my 1K5. I have searched and only found 2 users running this lift. Is anyone else running this lift? If so how do you like it? My plan is to run 1.5" wheel spacers all the way around for a wider stance as well. Thanks everyone!

Just a heads up. Bracket lifts ride like crap. Just from what I've seen and others have wrote about. I don't personally have one installed. But I have the 3" Super ATV bracket lift sitting in a box in my shed, hesitant to put it on.

I assumed bracket lift would ride better than a spring spacer as adding a spacer changes your spring rate and preload.....

Changing the angle of the shocks in general which is what a bracket lift is, compresses the shocks and adds lift.

Spring spacers are not that bad, I put mine in about 6 months ago and its not that bad at all

I put spring spacers on mine about 6 weeks ago and I actually think it rides better. I have a good mixture of pavement, gravel, and trail time on the machine and my wife even noticed the improvement.

I wouldn't recommend the lift...ive had both lift and spacers. If you're looking for clearance go with the spacers. Lift changes the geometry of the shock and ride quality goes to hell.
