Default Rough Country Lift Question

Is anyone running this lift? Jeep JK Wrangler Suspension Lift

Looks Like I could run these with my Bilstiens that I already have installed on my 2.5" BB... Looks like this could be a better deal/option than getting the AEV 3.5" since it doesn't come with flex joint control arms or track bar???


Thoughts?

I'm running most of that lift, just haven't bought the control arms yet.

I love the ride with the shocks and springs. Super easy install, took only a few hours to completely install all the brackets and parts.

PM the rep on here, and you can get a better price if you don't need the shocks. Although, if you've only got shocks for 2.5" lift, might be good idea to get these new ones and sell the bilsteins.

The Holsteins have a range of up to 3.5" of lift. With the added weight on aftermarket bumpers and winch I was thinking it may settle at that height. Great to hear of your good experience with this lift.

Yes, these springs do settle a little more than others that are Progressive Springs. You'll be happy running the bilsteins with these springs.

Rough Country has great CS. If your springs ever start to sag, take measurement pics and send them an email. They'll get a new set out to you ASAP. I don't know how many bushings they've sent me for free. I got my entire lift 2nd hand and had to replace most the bushings in shocks and steering stabilizer. And everything they've got has free shipping through their rep.

My rig's almost exclusive for RC stuff now. About to have a Black windshield decal made for myself since they only offer White.

Yep, I'm running the RC 4" X-Series lift with all the trimmings. This summer I'll upgrade to the 6" long arm with upgrade that just came out. Great product and even greater customer service. You'll love it for sure.
