It looks like a pretty good stage 1 kit. But of course, I don't really know. I've never installed one and don't know anyone who has. Maybe if someone on here has it, and they're willing to share, then you'll get some real information. Remember: if they don't have one themselves, or have any experience installing these kits = their opinion isn't worth anymore than mine is. Like I said: it looks like a pretty good stage 1 kit.

I have a friend with a Rough Country lift on his Superduty. The ride quality is crap but it's leaf spring suspension so you can't really expect much out of a cheap lift. I think with IFS it wouldn't be too bad. The install wasn't bad, but the instructions were awful. That's the only common complaint that I see about their products. RC just lowered the prices on all their lift considerably so I think I'll probably buy one for my 02 real soon.

i've never had anything by rough country and i never will. never heard anything good about there products, i'd spend a little more and get a pro comp if you're on a budget. those spacers looks awfully weak.

I've never seen an RC Ford lift in person so I can't say how the quality it is on that particular model.

I do have a set of RC upper control arms on my Nissan and they are built very stout. I did have a problem when I first ordered them about having the wrong bushings shipped with the kit, but they corrected that problem with no questions asked. The tech I talked to about it on the phone was friendly and knew what he was talking about.
I'd give em a call and pick their brain about that lift if you've got any questions.

RGV F150 has a 6" rough country lift on his truck and says it rides like stock.

what makes you say that.

it appears to look like the pro-comp kit, with a better looking front crossmember and brake lines, larger block for the rear, or atleast 1 block instead of stacking 2
