6 inch rough country
 
I am wanting to go with 37's so my local off road dealer is wanting me to go with the 6 inch rough country lift the next choice lift for 6 inch is teraflex but it is another 2000 bucks more I just can't see much difference in the 2 lifts , anyone own these kits and have any problems ?Any help from the jeep experts would be appreciated

Very few go with a 6" lift and for good reason. You don't need it, drive line issues and high center of gravity. Honestly,read Planman's threads on 37 with minimal lift.

If it were me, will be soon, 3 inch lift, flat flares and extended bump stops. I'll add a 1" body lift, but not required.

Good luck!:thumbsup:

A 6" is too much for 37's. 2.5-4" is fine depending on your fender configuration.

I'm running 4.5-5" of lift and 37" toyos. I wish I had another inch, or even two. I might swap my 1" spacer out for the Jks acos system. You can run 37's on lower lift heights, but you need to severely limit uptravel or cut the snot out of the tub to avoid rubbing.

The terraflex kit is worth the money. All tf stuff is on sale through nr4x4 and orw right now as well.

So if I go with any lift from rough country are there lifts any good ? Or should I stick with teraflex ?

Terraflex is good stuff. Better yet is their customer service!!

I have no personal experience with any lifts yet but I have heard on this forum a time or two that people have had some issues with the RC springs sagging. Seems to be hit or miss though and quite a few will tell you that they have had no problems. 6" does seem like an awful lot for 37's. I personally like the look of 3-4 inches lift with flat or trimmed fenders.:beer:

X2 it seems to be the general opinion that RC makes lesser quality lifts, though I can't speak from personal experience either.

I just can't see much difference in the 2 lifts
Figure out what the difference is between a LONG arm and a SHORT arm lift, then look again...

I am running the RC 4" with flex arms. haven't had any problems with the lift quality, but putting a heavy after market bumper and winch up front caused the springs to lower/sag about 1/2-3/4" , and maybe a 1/4" in the rear after installing a rockhard rear bumper w/ tire swing (running 35" tires).They have good customer service, and when I was insatlling the flex arms I had a few questions over a series of 3 phone calls and they had the answers when i asked and I also talked to a install tech that went into detail. just my : 2cents :
