Rough Country Vertex 3" lift F150 PowerBoost Users?

[Captain Dirty Beard]

Curious if anyone here with a Powerboost has installed the 3" Vertex lift kit. I've found other posts with lesser RC lifts/leveling kits, but curious if anyone has installed this specific kit on a Powerboost. I called RC and they said it is compatible.

Sure, I could spend more money, but are other brands at nearly double the cost really twice as good for a similar setup? I doubt it, but change my mind if you have experience with this kit.

Lol. Yeah, looks that way. And if it shits the bed, I still have my 2025 RAM 1500 order in place.

Doesn't sport mode shut down the hybrid drive?

No! If the twin turbo V6 is running you are in “hybrid drive”. The gasoline engine and the electric traction motor work together to turn the drive shaft. The PB propulsion is either hybrid (gas and electric) or for short duration electric only where the gas engine will turn off for a bit. Now when you come to a stop or when you idle for any length of time you will be in all electric operation. This is not conventional start/stop like other trucks. Everything continues to run smoothly and normally it’s just that your gas engine is not running. Sport mode actually limits the electric only operation so you’re ready to go with full power.

Thanks! Yeah I tried Sport mode a little while ago. I like how it keeps the transmission in a shorter gear and increases the throttle sensitivity. In normal mode, I kept thinking "what is happening to this motor every time it shuts off and has no oil pressure". Constantly starting and stopping the engine can't be good for it.

Nice! I like the tint and body color mirrors. Fancy deployable running boards too ?
