I have had my JK for about a month now and am looking for information on installing a Rough Country 2.5 series 2 spacer lift. I will be adding the Steering Stabilizer as well. Any insight on if this is a good package or not would be greatly appreciated...Thanks everyone!

 

A spacer is pretty much a spacer, the extra components are a plus. Go for it. (Though you might consider adding front bumpstops at the same time.)

And if you haven't found the two threads stickied to the top of this modified area, they are worth spending a few minutes on.

 

X2, spacer lifts are an inexpensive way to gain some clearance and it's not a kick in the pants if you want to upgrade down the line. Feel free to send me a message for forum pricing.

 

I'm not a fan of spacer lifts, but I think it ultimately depends on your goals for your Jeep and what you want to get out of it. It's a cheap way to get some additional clearance and appearance, but I feel like money is better spent on a true suspension lift if you're planning on wheeling more than a few times or if you plan on wheeling with any technical intensity. The stock setup on the Jeep is very good, but the non-Rubi suspension leaves a bit to be desired. Stiffening up the coils and shocks and gaining some extra clearance makes the whole package just a little sweeter.

In other words, I don't believe in the concept of "upgrading" a lift. Do it once, build with a purpose.

The Dirtman sticky about lifts is good, he's a wizard of sorts with regards to Jeep build, and some of what he said I've validated through my own experience and findings on the trail. It's worth a read.

 

Thanks for the info everyone!

 

And welcome to the forum.

 

Unless your factory stabilizer is damaged or leaking, I woulk keep it and invest in a relocation kit instead. You will see no benefit from an aftermarket stabilizer..

 

I would not waste money on a steering stabilser either. Good luck with the build and welcome to the forum.
