McGauphy Lift VS Rough Country Lift

[2014Sandylifted]

So I wish too debate which lift is better, since they very close in price. Who is running what tire setup with which lift and how they have use the setup as well. Also how they feel the ride is with the lift and tire an wheel set up you have. I am leaning toward the McGauphys due too I want to run it at 8"s with 35x12.50R20Lt's. POST PIC's OF YOU'R SET UP.

I've heard a lot of complaints on the interwebs about the McGaughy's struts they give you. Supposedly they redesigned the bushing (they would loosen up after a few hundred miles). Most guys were going with Bilstein coilovers as replacements

Yea I know it can be but I want real takes not reading reviews dude that's what this forum is for, is it not

[blackout07]

I feel certain that the countless times this has been covered here contains real reviews, and you literally have another thread with the same question. All that does is make it harder for people to search.

The lift is quality. I have the Black SS lift. I wanted the Mcgaughy's because of the full 7" drop. I do have issues with the strut bushings though, my first set were complete junk, they were far too soft and the same with the second set that is now in the truck. I called the other day and I have 2 new struts with the "upgraded" bushing that will be here Monday. I will keep this updated. Also the only thing other than the bushings that I noticed was that even though the full 7" drop is great for ride quality and easy on the front end, the front drive shaft now suffers from a pretty steep angle. The transfer case side at the u joint is where the problem is, it does have a vibration in 4wd. I do see that there are after market shafts out there to correct this problem though. Add is to the list! lol

They are called double cardan or CV shafts. They have 2 u joints on the transfer case side. Have one on my 02 with a McGaughy's lift

Why bother to read it and then take more time to reply? No one's forcing you to read it and take a test afterwards. LOL

Where did you get yours and how much was it? Is it slightly longer than the stock shaft?

It is a hair longer I'm pretty sure. Mine is a superlift shaft. I forgot where I bought it but it cost approx. $400
