With my experiance, big no. The coils from the 2.5 lift I still have, but will be changing out with Offroad Evo's 3" plush coils once they come out. The 2.2's are aweful for me, leaky, rough, stiff, had to get rid of them for bilstein's. Not an aweful lift for the price, bare in mind though you get what you pay for. I'd reccommend spending a bit more for a more quality/complete kit. Rock Krawler or TeraFLex.

I have the two door and love my rc 2.5 coil lift with 2.2 shocks. No noise no leaks and looks great. I've heard gripes and qc complaints from some. But not me or my friends. Good luck.

Thumbs up Nice pics!

I thought the stock tires might look small with the lift. Did you get the trackbar bracket for the rear as well?

No trackbar bracket or adjustable trackbar. Just 4 springs, 4 shocks and about 2 1/2-3 hours. It was a pretty easy install. We missed the crush tubes on the bottom of the front shocks and had to reinstall them. We had bent the shock frame bracket so we worked our butts off to straighten them out. If not for that it would've been 2 hours.

The Jeep tracks true and rides great. I put on the front steering stabilizer two days later although it was done for fun. It was not needed on the jeep. Not a need at all.

When i ordered my kit I called rc and asked what they would do for me. I got the kit for 299.00, 35.00 shipping. No tax.

I don't understand. Rough Country has a life time warranty. I have known guys to have an issue but they take a quick pic with there phone, email them and they send them a new one. I haven't seen anything close to that price range either.
