minimum lift with rockwells???

I think they need 6~8" to clear in the stock location. You can go less but the front end will need to be moved forward to avoid the oil pan.
It's a LOT more lift than 4", more like 12".

Damn... thats what i didnt want to hear lol. Im thinkin about picking them up anyway there 1000 bucks but the guys said make him an offer. Might be time to start a buggy!
i think 1 guy did it with custom rework and 8" min 1 time but 10-12" is the min basicly.

Assuming you are talking top loaders.
I would go a min of 8" lift. Even there you need to watch your up travel.

I think this thread needs more photos.
If nothing else, to see who's got some rockwells on their rides
Once I get some money (win the lottery or something), I plan on some rockwells, but probably not on a GM product; they would go on (under?) an M715, probably with Diesel power too...

Rockwells really aren't as expensive to build as tons. A lot of it depends on the initial purchase. I paid $700 for my stock rocks, had the mohawk built, add pinion brakes and brake parts, rebuild the seals, weld the spiders, and call it done...have about 1100 into them...

Thanks. Currently addressing a few issues from the roll but mounting the front panels is on the to do list which includes narrowing the front clip. I'll be renewing my subscription soon so I can update my build thread.

Was thinking the same thing.
