RC 2.5" Coil Lift with 2.2 shocks reviews?? Please
Hey so right now my 2008 sahara is sitting on 295/70/17 Terra Grapplers (spacers on order should be here friday from Rough Country). Now with the spacers I should be free from rubbing (which at present only really happens at full lock on the 17"moabs). But with 70k on the clock my oem springs and shocks are starting to really give me a crappy ride (most likely due to most of those miles having come from hard NYC driving). So this really gives me a great excuse to install a mild lift which I've always wanted to do anyway.
I just wanted to hear from some people that are running the Rough Country 2.5" Coil Lift with 2.2 Shocks. My main concerns are how happy are you with the overall ride quality with this lift installed. And for my purposes which is mainly a daily driver with the occasional (3-4 times a year) trail riding and beach riding. Is this lift sufficient. Or will I run into death wobble issues, with such a small lift do I need new track bars, or even track bar relocation brackets etc?
I'm really considering pulling the trigger on the lift tomorrow as I'd like to take advantage of Rough Country's free shipping promo that is currently going on. Thanks in advance. Also if anyone is running the same setup 33"tires on Moabs with this lift I'd love to see some pics. In addition right now I have 3/4" leveling spacers in the front should I use those with the rough country lift to keep it level or does the rough country 2.5" coil lift already take the rake into account and level it out??
Thanks in advance,
Lou
