Check Price on Amazon

This kit delivers exactly what a 6 inch lift should: factory track width, proper N3 damping, and heavy-duty rear blocks with an anti-wrap design to prevent axle rotation under hard acceleration. The 232-pound package includes lifted knuckles, differential skid plate, and front/rear crossmembers — nothing feels undersized or flimsy.

Owners report a clean install on 2004-2008 F-150 4WD models, with the N3 strut spacers maintaining a level stance. The massive 1 3/8-inch bore shocks absorb trail impacts without transferring harshness to the cab. Several reviews note the skid plate mounts solidly and doesn’t rattle loose over time.

The one consistent complaint: the instruction manual prints in grainy black-and-white photos that require a YouTube supplement. Also, the lower control arm bolts are reused from the factory — not included — so check your originals before starting. For the combination of completeness and ride quality at this lift height, the 54620 leads the list.

The 33231 kit for Ram 1500 4WD models is one of the most complete bolt-on 6 inch systems on the market. It includes lifted cast knuckles that reposition the steering axis instead of relying on drop brackets, plus front and rear crossmembers, skid plates, and coil spacers for the rear. The N3 rear shocks and upper control arm brackets preserve ball joint geometry within factory specs.

Customers running 35×12.50 tires on 20-inch wheels report zero rubbing after install, with the truck clearing a 7-foot garage opening. The ride quality stays close to stock — a direct result of the factory-mount N3 shock design. One reviewer noted the kit arrived in multiple boxes over a week, so plan your install timeline accordingly.

A few owners mention the printed instructions are faded to near-illegibility and recommend downloading the PDF from Rough Country’s site. The sheer part count (over 40 components) demands a certified mechanic or a full weekend if DIY. Once sorted, the geometry holds tight without the sag reported on cheaper strut-spacer-only setups.

Designed specifically for the heavier 2500HD platform, the 29730A uses one-piece quality cast CNC-machined knuckles rather than welded assemblies. The integrated lower skid plate doesn’t hang below the frame rail — it preserves the ground clearance you paid for. Four N3 shocks handle the damping front and rear, with the rear pair supporting the additional weight of the HD chassis.

Switching from a popular competing brand, one owner reported better turning radius and noticeably improved ride quality off-road. The kit includes differential drop brackets and CV spacers to keep axle angles within safe limits. The 194-pound package feels substantial; every bracket uses 3/8-inch steel at minimum.

Some builders note the supplied bolts are ungraded and recommend replacing them with Grade 8 fasteners during install. A small percentage received a single snapped bolt during torque-down — check each fastener as you work. The cast iron knuckles themselves are excellent, but the supporting hardware is the weakest link in an otherwise solid system.

This kit transforms a Club Car Precedent from pavement cruiser to trail-ready buggy. The double A-arm design increases suspension travel far beyond the stock leaf spring setup, and the heim-joint pivots allow camber and toe adjustment that a single-arm lift simply cannot provide. It arrives as a complete package with 10-inch Vampire aluminum wheels and 22×11-10 DOT all-terrain tires mounted and balanced.

Install runs 1-3 hours with clear instructions — owners consistently report no cutting or welding required. The 184-pound weight reflects the heavy-duty steel A-arms and the included tire set. One owner noted the off-road tires grab gravel and hum on pavement, but the improved handling over stock is immediate and dramatic.

A common note: longer brake cables may be needed if you have rear seats, and the alignment takes patience — the adjustable heim joints have plenty of thread for fine-tuning. The chrome center caps and lug nuts complete the look. For instant 6 inch lift on a Club Car with no fabrication, this is the most turn-key solution available.

Old Body Style Ford owners finally get a proper 6 inch kit for the 2WD platform. This system uses front lifted coil springs (not spacers) and I-beam drop brackets along with radius arm brackets to maintain caster and pinion angle. The four N3 shocks handle damping front and rear, while 4-inch lift blocks and U-bolts raise the rear. Total clearance supports up to 35-inch tires.

Builders appreciate the complete bracket set — the drop bar bracket and radius arm brackets are thick steel, not stamped. The ride quality improves over the worn-out factory springs most OBS trucks still have. One owner noted the front mounts are slightly oversized, giving the twin I-beam a more leveled appearance rather than the factory rake.

A few reviews mention missing parts (a pitman arm, a radius arm bracket). Open the box and inventory everything before disassembling your truck. The kit is heavy at 137 pounds, and the U-bolts should be re-torqued after 500 miles as they seat into the factory leaf pack.

The GTW double arm kit is the no-cut, no-weld solution for Club Car Precedent models. The high-gloss black powder coating on the alloy steel looks factory-installed, and the pivot points include grease fittings so you can maintain the bushings seasonally. Urethane bushings handle temperature extremes better than rubber and reduce suspension noise over the long term.

Install clocks in around four hours for a first-timer, with the included instructions walking through each step. The camber and toe adjustments use heim joints at the spindle — you’ll need a grease gun and a large hex key for final tightening. Owners running 23×10.5-12 tires report excellent clearance and a smooth ride on pavement and light trails.

A few builds note that the lower heim joints don’t offer as much thread engagement as desired, and the turning radius tightens slightly due to spindle arm limiters. The rear installation may require new leaf spring bushings if your cart’s originals are dry-rotted. For the price, this is the most approachable double-arm lift for Precedent owners.

While this kit lifts 3 inches instead of 6, it belongs in this guide because the forged aluminum upper control arms and N3 shock strategy mirror the geometry correction required at larger lift heights. The strut spacers add 3 inches to the front while N3 rear shocks level the stance. The included upper control arms feature heavy-duty rubber bushings and correct the ball joint angle that stock arms lose at 2+ inches of lift.

Owners report the kit clears 33-inch tires easily and 34s with the right offset. The ride quality stays impressively close to factory — the N3 shocks absorb the small impacts that cheap spacers amplify. The 100% bolt-on design uses common hand tools and can be fully reversed. Rough Country backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.

The main trade-off is the 3-inch height limit: if you’re set on 6 inches, this kit won’t get you there without additional components. A few installers note that Ram factory struts can be stubborn to separate from the knuckle, and you’ll need a 21mm crow’s foot for the upper control arm nuts. For a clean 3-inch lift that doesn’t sag, this is the gold standard.

Not a full kit, but an essential component for any 2004-2020 F-150 running a 2-4 inch leveling kit who wants to prevent ball joint failure. The one-piece forged T6 aluminum design eliminates the weak weld points found on stamped steel control arms. Each arm passes magnetic particle inspection, and the ball joint pin uses a zinc-nickel alloy coating that resists rust far longer than bare iron.

The greasable socket lets you flush contaminants regularly, and the polyurethane bushings handle temperature swings without cracking. Owners of 2017 4Runners and 2018 F-150s report that the arms restore proper ball joint angle, eliminating the binding that occurs at 2.5 inches of lift. The arms come with tower-shaped dust boots and protective covers to keep debris out of the joint.

One critical note: conservative stock wheels (ET44 offset) will cause the tire to rub the control arm. You’ll need at least 1.5-inch wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with near-zero offset. This isn’t a complete lift kit, but for anyone lifting their F-150 or Expedition, it’s the control arm upgrade that keeps your front end aligned and your ball joints alive.

This strut assembly replaces the factory unit and strut spacer hybrid with a single pre-loaded N3 coilover designed specifically for 6-inch lifts. The 1 3/8-inch bore and hardened chrome piston rod resist corrosion and maintain damping consistency. No strut disassembly required — it bolts in as a complete unit with the spring already seated at the correct ride height.

Install on 2007-2013 Silverado and Avalanche models takes about two hours with basic tools. Owners upgrading from Fabtech or spacer-based lifts consistently report a smoother ride, with the N3 valving absorbing road imperfections instead of transmitting them through the chassis. The black powder coat finish blends well with factory undercarriage components.

Some users report the struts sit slightly lower than expected — roughly 0.5 inches below the advertised 6-inch mark — requiring a small spacer to regain full height. The extended length of 24.1 inches works for most 6-inch lift applications, but if you’re maxing out tire size at 35s, confirm your current ride height before committing. For the price, you’re getting proper N3 damping in a direct-fit package.

The 2014-2018 version of the N3 loaded strut shares the same pre-loaded coil design but has a slightly shorter extended length of 23.85 inches to match the K2XX platform’s suspension geometry. Like the 2007-2013 version, it eliminates the need for a strut spacer and provides full N3 damping in a corrosion-resistant black powder coat finish.

For owners of Silverado and Sierra 1500 models running a Rocky Ridge or factory 6-inch package, these struts simplify the front suspension. The ride quality is noticeably softer than the factory spacer setup — one owner described it as “much better than the Fabtech design I previously had.” The 3-year warranty covers shock defects.

The consistent complaint across multiple reviews: the springs sag. Multiple owners report losing 1.5 to 2 inches of lift height immediately, causing the stock tires to rub during turns. The factory coil rate appears too soft for the intended 6-inch ride height. If you buy these, budget for an additional 2-inch strut spacer to compensate for the sag, which defeats the purpose of a pre-loaded design. This is the biggest reliability gap in the entire review list.

Not a vehicle lift kit, but a portable scissor lift that raises your truck 28 inches — giving you safe clearance to install a 6 inch lift kit without crawling under jack stands. The 7000-pound capacity handles full-size trucks and SUVs, and the Q235B high-strength steel frame supports the weight without deflection. Four locking levers ensure the lift stays engaged at each height increment.

The 25-30 second cycle time for full extension makes it practical for a driveway mechanic. The folding design with integrated wheels allows storage against a garage wall when not in use. Retired GM technicians and home mechanics alike recommend it as a safer alternative to jack stands for suspension work. The pump unit includes a sight glass for hydraulic fluid level checks.

Assembly is straightforward but the manual is poorly translated, particularly regarding the quick-disconnect hose fittings. Some units arrive with chewed-up plastic wheels or a broken lock release bolt. The hydraulic lines may leak from loose connectors — inspect and tighten before first use. One safety lock on some units fails to drop automatically, requiring manual checks. For the price, it’s a capable lift, but you’ll need patience with the QC inconsistencies.
