Review on πŸš™ Rough Country 2" Lift Kit (fits) 99-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 4WD - Enhanced Suspension System with N3 Shocks, Model: 69530 by Paul Varnado

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Consider buying Kevin's 2-inch off-road bottom bracket instead.

Yes it will work but a few things I didn't pay attention to. A spacer is mounted on the front spring. The seal is held to a one-piece body by a self-tapping screw that is too thin for the screw to be tightened. I removed the driver's side but took a larger diameter bolt and just put the bolt in. The other side has settled normally but only lightly planted. Ok, my fault on this one. just be careful Next comes the back lift. The spacer is installed from below here, but the bottom spring insulator has been removed. This makes metal contact between the spring, metal spacer and axle. Not optimal. Finally, the distance between the rear tire and the shock absorber is very small. I have 245/75R16 tires so there is something to consider. I barely get enough clearance when I put chains on. Just a chain in the front I think. It's all on me because the installation instructions are on their website and I should have read them before ordering. Despite everything, this gave me 2 inches, although you may not get that due to spring slack and worn insulators. I also ordered new sway bar links that are 2" longer because I didn't like their angle with the 2" lifter. But that's just my choice. And the jeep looks great on this lift and easy to install. Just think about the above issues and if you agree with them, the kit will suit you. I have ordered Kevins with polymer spacers instead of metal RCs. Also consider shocks that are 2 inches longer. With add-ons, this budget increase approaches the cost of a full kit, but is easier to install.
