Default Rough Country 1.25" BL

Did the the BL yesterday with some help from some friends.
Had there been less barbecuing, beers, and b.s.ing, it would have probably been doable in about an hour.

The only issue we ran into was the Sahara side steps made jacking the body up difficult...there was not solid surface to put 2x4s, so I just removed them and stacked them in the stock parts pile.

I really like the design of the RC pucks...they hold the hardware in and everything looks and feels really solid.

Very happy with the end result...recommended!

Automatic or manual transmission? Any tightness in wires, cables, hoses connecting the chassis to the body?

AT (I hear this lift is not recommended for MT).
No apparent issues anywhere on the Jeep.

I'll be sure to watch the brake lines closely when I flex though....I think they were pretty close with the 2" BB before....

the flex lines run from the frame to the wheels, the lift will not affect the brake lines, other than popping the metal lines out of their little holders

I thought about it...but hoping to get a new rear bumper/carrier soon...so not going to bother with it.

Don't install this BL if you have a manual and live a cold area
