Default Opinions on Rough Country 1.25" body lift kit

I have a 08' 4 door Sahara. Currently I have a TeraFlex 2.5" budget boost w/ 35" tires. Thinking about a body lift and like this one because it relocates the rear bumper to eliminate the body lift gap. Honestly the main reason..... I like the looks of sitting a little higher and it is another cheap way to gain an extra 1.25". My reasons my change in the future but for now, my jeep is my daily driver that is more capable than a stock if I ever need it to be.
So if you have one or had one, please share your experiences.

It's an inexpensive way to add a little height, without the need for added suspension components, new driveshafts, etc. If the gap is noticeable, add some flat black paint to help hide it.

Go for it.

I have the RC 1.25 and love it, I did my own rear bumper relocation, at the time RC did not have the extra bumper brackets. Well worth the money for the kit now. buy buy buy

RC makes the best body lifts, plus if you have a 6 speed make sure you get the shifter adapter when you order it

I am happy with the extra height I gained. Easy enough to install and a great price.

Thanks for all the responses.....

I'm about ready to pull the trigger and order this kit but I have one more question.....

My jeep has the factory installed towing package. Will I have any issues relocating the bumper with the brackets in this kit?

Thanks again!!!!
