Default Rough Country 3.5" lift installed!!

Well last week I installed the Rough Country 3.5" lift on my 2012 JKUR. I like it so much I have decided to pull the Teraflex BB out of my wife's JKU and instal one in hers too.

I had some shipping issues with the company that I bought my first kit from (late shipping and incomplete kit), instead of apologizing and trying to keep my business they acted like they didn't care. I sent Ben (rough-country) a pm about my issues and he was awesome!! Such great customer service in fact I decided to buy the second kit (directly from Rough Country this time)!!

The ride is soo much better then my wife's lift and I definitely think I got more then the advertised 3.5".

Before:


After:


With 35's:

Definitely got your money's worth. The lift makes the 35s look small. Nice setup.

I know right. If I had enough for gussets and re-gearing I would have gone with 37s

I have two sets of front track bar relocation brackets that are left over, but only because I bought adjustable track bars.

I just put the kit in my (n wifes) JKU a couple weeks ago, it went in very easy, only hitch was a missing track bar bracket. RK took care of me and next day air Saturday delivered it. I have to say I'm very happy with the kit and customer service. Ps like both your rigs!!

Nice balanced look. I had an rc on my jku, and a tf on my JK I think the rc felt better on road. That may be because of wheelbase though.

@olsen
Did you have the issue with the exhaust rubbing the front drive boot with this lift?
