Rhox lift kit - what gives here?
Pics will follow shortly (waiting for phone to charge so I can transfer them) but here's the deal, I bought and installed a 3" Rhox Spindle kit on the Gmax Friday in order to get some big street meats on it, and having never used a Rhox *anything* before, WOW was I disappointed... The front lifted exactly 2.25" and the rear lift is 4.25" from the original shock mount to the new. Now I know I can pull it back off and shorten the rear lift by cutting and redrilling it, but WOW are all the Rhox accessories so poorly built? The caster on the front tires which was perfect with the stock spindles is now over 3/4" out at the top on both sides - short of cutting into the frame and drilling new shock mounts there really is no way to adjust it either.
Holy "You get what You pay for" Batman - there's $30 I'll never try to save again, what a JOKE. Anyone else have issues with their Rhox kits, I can't see a mass-produced item like this being a "one-off" mistake ?!?! |

Here are a couple of pics to show what I mean - VERY shoddy IMHO

I would say camber is perfect! Set the toe and drive it awhile!!

Re: Rhox lift kit - what gives here?
I set the toe when we did it and it seems to ride OK but it looks ridiculous - I'm heading to the shop in a bit to decide its' fate - I'm not a big fan of spending money on something I have to start re-engineering from the beginning. I've probably installed over 40 lift kits in the last few years, the only ones I've ever had an issue with were Steeleng and now Rhox - like I said, You get what You pay for
