Rough Country 2.5 lift
 
Does anyone have experience with this lift. The coils and shocks? Anything missing from the kit i need to buy? I have heard talk of needing a rear track bar bracket, and an adjustable front trac bar. I have also heard that as long as you stick with the 2.5 lift you will not need any of these parts. I would love to hear from anyone with the experience. I am on a strict college budget and this kit fits it perfectly? Also any pictures.

I added the rear track bar bracket and quick disconnect front sway bar links, but you don't have to.

Here is my Jeep just completed with stock wheels and tires.

I had that lift and 285/70/17 Kelly TSRs installed. The only thing added that I hadnt counted on was a wheel allignment kit.
Works and rides great and I love the look.

About 10 days ago I called Rough Country to complain about my rear springs sagging. The person I talked to guessed that it was the rear springs I was calling about. I asked him if they were aware of a problem and I didnt get a real answer. I took the pictures they asked for and sent them in . I have not got a call back or response from them yet...Ill let you know when I do....

I have included a front pic and a rear pic. The rear is about 1 1/4 inch less than the front spacing.

This kit fixes the rake, they do set about 1" higher in the front. I have this lift + the 1 1/4 body lift so far so good going wheeling this weekend will see how it works off road.

Did y'all have any problems with the Caster not setting right. And is there anyone near Arkansas that wants to give me a hand with install. I am at
School here and don't have to tools to install.

You will need to set tow & recenter steering wheel, you can do it yourself with the help of a friend.
