Default Happy with RC coil lift ?
I have a 2 door jk with RC 2.5 coil lift + 2.2 shocks and one rough ride. Just wondering what others thought of their jeeps ride after the lift ?

Much rougher on the little bumps and road vibrations, but seems to soak up the big ones better.

I had Daystar pucks and OEM shocks prior to the RC 2.5 coils and shocks. I thought that ride was actually a little softer than stock.

A bit rougher, but nothing dramatic. I run my tires at 40 PSI too so I dont expect it to be cushy.

Yeap. That's how mine was. So I took the lift off and sold it. Doesn't ride rough anymore.

depends....

off road = better than stock
on road, small bumps = better than stock
big bumps/dips = a little bouncy/annoying

overall, not bad enough to take it off and go back to stock IMO.

try adjusting your tire pressure too high can cause a rough ride.

Yeah I've always ran mine at about 33-34 lbs....but after switching from the BB to the Coils, I lowered it down to 30 lbs and it's much more tolerable now.
