So 3.5” Rough Country is your choice? I don’t want to feel bumps etc… Better than old man emu?
For the money, absolutely. OMU is solid, but not the best and pricey. A big lift doesn’t help with bumps. You’re starting to confuse me as to your end goal here. ?

Lol at least Old Man EMU gives you leaf springs instad of blocks for the rear. That already promotes better articulation wich is important for OffRoad!!
That’s true. I mean. It’s a 1” block… (3.5 kit)

Yea I think so. Unless he thinks a 6” lift=6” more suspension travel? Lol
I just want a taller ride and softer ride while being able to turn my wheel 100%. I also want the tallest height that doesn’t look dumb with 285’s

Oh ok lol I was like you about a year ago and a little thick skin will help you when you ask questions lol. Softest ride is going to come from softer springs so a lower spring rate with shocks that are tuned for em. If you don't want to go bigger in tire size then a 3 or 3.5 is perfect. Your turning radius is the same if you keep stock control arms, which these lifts don't include control arms.

If you want to that big, and do it right. This is what you want.

Paired with a good set of reservoir coilovers. And new rear leafs.

It won't be cheap, but doing things right never is.

You want 6” This is a better option with coil overs.

rough country has poor metal coating and shocks. Changing shocks will improve the ride: fox, king, bilstein, ome, ads, icon.
We have installed (and cover under a 3yr/36k parts and labor warranty) over 200 RC lifts and countless RC shocks at our shop. I don’t think we have warrantied anything or had any complaints or quality control issues. Ask anyone on here running RC about how awesome their shocks are for the money… my dad has RC, I have fox and I honestly can’t tell a difference.
