Advise that most people will give you sell the rough country lift to someone who doesn't know any better and get a better quality lift rough country is shit take it from Simone who has one I'm currently running a 4" with 35"s by rough country and the shop I work for is a dealer of rough country I install a lot of the lifts I wouldn't recommend them to anyone you will not be satisfied you really do get what you pay for but at the end of the day it's your Jeep your call

X2 I wouldn't go any more than 4.5". You could run 37's with the 2.5" you have and additional bumpstops and trimming. People run 40's on less than 4". Once you start going much higher, than that you're hurting more Than helping yourself for the trail

Sell it? You have flats, add some bumpstop and you can run the 37's now.
If you keep it, consider not using the drop pitman/trackbar bracket and look into a flip.

Hate to say it, but that's a pretty bad way of deciding to slap a 6" lift on your jeep. Just saying. Got the receipt?
