Topic: Anyone running a Rough Country lift kit?

[sharpxmen]

I don't know what you guys have against the rough country kit? I'm running it and it's been great. and also a guy with a CJ-5 also is running it we have both had them a year or two and have had not problems.

i started the thread asking everyone on their opinion about the RC lift kit for YJs - got a lot of good feedback - made my decision a bit harder but since you can't beat that price i decided to go for it anyway (somebody said it sags in time, also that is a bit stiff) but even if it will sag i am going to replace those leafs and still get my money's worth if it lasts 1 year, if not is in warranty and will get replacements.

since i ordered it i am happy to hear that you had a good experience with it - how long have you had it on? I ordered mine on sale directly from RC and got the complete one including the heavy duty steering stab, pitman arm, bushings, t-case drop, shocks, bump stops, u-bolts and a few other little things.

what is your experience with it and is it a 4'' or different lift?

ive seen nothing but good reviews with the recent RC kits. ive heard that earlier in their career their kits were junk but recently they've made vast improvements. i can only speak for my RC kit which is for a TJ, but im more than satisfied. a full spring and shock 2.5" kit with t-case drop for under 300 bucks when  the nearest competitor was selling at more than $750...ya can't beat the price. What size did ya go for?

I'm on my second year with mine already and had no problems. and the CJ-5 is pretty much the same as the yj there both leaf applications and have worked great for the both of us.

i'm at 33x12.5x15 with a 2.5'' lift, 1'' shackles and 1'' body lift. i'm thinking of going to 35s when the time comes for new tires.

actually i just received the kit (2 days, that was pretty quick shipping) - looks nice and has all the hardware needed. I'll take some pics of it in the weekend and post them.

here's a pic of the kit - looks nice, arrived safe with no probs and has everything you need to install it - hope that will behave well on the road, i won't find out too soon as i got a bunch of things to finish first before my Jeep is alive again

nope - have other stuff to complete first (rear axle rebuild) - and it's been raining here almost every day so i kinda feel like playing indoors for now :)
