Default Rough Country 2.5 lift

Well so I have some cash I want to use for the Jeep....I'm still stock with a RC 1.25 body lift. A buddy of mine has a 4in lift from RC and likes his.....but I would like some reviews from you guys out there as well....my Jeep is a daily driver and I plan on putting 33's on...the lift is a suspension lift with coils....and performance 2.2 shocks....any advice.....this lift fits my budget.

I previously ran the Rough Country 2.5" budget boost. That was just the spacers. I am currently running the Rough Country 4" Suspension Kit with the 2.2 series shocks. I like it alot. The ride is a bit stiffer than stock, but I don;t mind it and I am used to it. I plan on going up to 35" tires.

Have had no problems with mine. I have the 2.5 RC coil lift kit with RC quick disconnect front sway bar links and Rugged Ridge rear track bar relocation bracket. Rides the same as stock to me.

i gots it.. about a year now... no issues for the coils. my recommendation.. forget the kit, get the coils and buy some bilsteins for a better ride. really harsh on the 2.2s. you'll need the rear track bar bracket.. and if you plan on going 35s eventually.. install your extended bumpstops now vs. later.. save you some trouble later ..

Thinking about going the same route in getting a RC 2.5 lift. Post pics when you have it installed!
