I like mine it raises the front about 2.5" and the rear about 1" it levels the jeep out.

I am just not sure if I can run true 35's with out adding bump stops.

When I am wheeling and I have the front disconnected I tuck almost all the way into the fender.(rubi rims and tires)

Do both front and back rub or just the front?

Do they rub enough to cut into the tire?

I know I need to add wheel spacers.

But since you have the set up might as well ask.

How does this lift handle on the road? I do mostly road and dirt/fire road driving, not hard core rock crawling.

I've had the lift for over almost a year and have put about 12,000 highway/city miles on it. I have absolutely no complaints on the ride quality, that's for sure. It has been outstanding for me and I'm so very glad I got the kit. With the Firestone Destination M/T's on it, it finally looks like the Jeep I've been wanting to have. Now that I finally got the rig back after three months waiting on a new engine, I'm trying to make up for lost time and driving the hell out of it!!!

Again, no complaints on the highway/street ride with the 2.5" coil lift and shocks.

Default Well since we are on this subject

For those of you who do have this lift (rough country 2.5 spacer lift) how hard was it to install?

Default Install Time

Completely an easy install, I have pulled springs on it 4-5 times due to having the sagging springs in beginning to now adding 3/4" spacers to make it little higher and i love it. Rear can be done without any spring compressors but fronts with longer springs and spacers had to be compressed. I can now do rear in 35 mins complete unbolt and bolt and front is about 1hr and half to 2 hrs.

You don't need a compressor at all. You do need to be careful with the brake lines and unbolt the track bar, then you'll have plenty of room. They're easier to install than you would think. I've done it once before and I had no prior experience, or this forum for help at the time.
