Thinking about getting this kit for my Wrangler. Looks like you get a lot for the money... wondering about the quality? Any other kits I should look at? Thanks... I am a noob with bolt on

its a cheap lift, you get what you pay for.

i have heard numerous cases of bent front main leaves on these.

but rough country's customer service is top notch and they will usually send you a new leaf if you break/bend one prematurely

rough counrty is shit IMO their springs are garented to sag...

I actually heard their new kits were good quality, at least better than that one, but double the price..in which case you should probably just buy RE. yarly.

if you want a small lift, just wait for some used leafs to pop up on craigs list. with a 3" lift or under all you need is springs and shocks. my roommate got 4 bds springs on the cheap off CL and they ride good. i would stick with BDS, rubicon express, OME, or rancho if you want good shit.

hey owen, the lift armand and i installed on my girlfriends jeep is a rough country. its a 2.5" lift. that was on a 04 tj wit coils so idk about their leafs but the kit was of good quality and fit. we have had no problems with it its been in for about a year now.

how dare you moderate me

My friend had a Fab Tech 3.5" lift on his YJ. The ride was a little rough, but he never had any problems with the springs.

id stay away from the lift because its not bolt on as claimed you def have to modify it to make it fit....

I think you might have to drill a couple holes for the track bar drop brackets. I can handle that

I was kinda thinking that, but the kit has more then just leafs...It kinda needs shocks, and I like that the kit has the transfer case drop brackets, drop pitman arm, track bar drop brackets, extended sway bar links etc. That seems pretty thorough. I originally was just going to try a 2" add-a-leaf kit with the 2" shackles that are on the jeep, but then I will be at 4" with no correction to the track bar, sway bar, steering and driveline angle. I want it to be reliable and drive nice. It will be my daily driver, I commute about 15 miles each way to work.

to be honest i know Eric (4banger yj) has no track bar and his rides just fine
if anything i keep the front one, as for the rear toss it....

I live on a dirt road but that is probably the most it will go offroad. I know that is kinda sad but I like a car that stands out a little. I don't think the springs will see much abuse. I read the company has a 100% satisfaction garuntee, which sounds pretty good, its easy for a company to say that but I am glad for your feedpack that their service is pretty good.

I think they have come a long way as a company. Their image used to be "cheap." It seems like now it is more like "value," decent quality at an affordable price.

My only experience with their products were a set of Wagoneer 3" front springs I ordered from them 8 years ago when I SAS'ed my S10. They rode kinda "rough", but the were intended for a heavier vehicle... I set the truck up spring under originally, but then sprung it over 8 months later. I used the RC main leaf and other leafs with some stock leafs to lower it and ride better. I still have the springs... they are now in my willys buggy. 8 years of abuse and they never bent, sagged, or broke. Granted not a factory product but I think there would be more stress on the RC main leaf using stock leafs under it.

they are ok if youre only gonna drive it on the street . the only thing i'd recommend is get rancho shocks instead(better ride)
