7.5" Rough Country lift

[4WP Charlotte]

Has anyone installed or driven one of these? Looking to see if anyone has real world experience with this kit.

Got a link to the specific kit or what year/model you are referring to?

It's the Rough Country 28601 7.5" for 07-14

Although I do not have any real world experience I am impressed that the kit comes with everything, brake lines, sway bar end links and CV spacers. Even at a pretty fair price IMO.

For driving around town.....ok I get it....

A friend installed a 6" lift on his 02 Yukon XL. He unfortunately rolled it 3 times on the first outing.

@4WP Charlotte I have seen at least 4 different posts from people who have installed the 7.5 inch lift where the rear is squatted down about 2 inches lower than the front. So make sure you are getting the most current revision of the lift kit.

I’m also looking to get the 7.5” RC lift on my 07 Yukon (2WD). I’ve been told that I would need to get re-gearing done on the rear differential. Also looking to install 35’s after the lift.

Your lift is not what’s driving the need for a re-gearing of your rear dif. It’s the size of tire you want to end up with. Check out this link.
