🚙 Rough Country 2.5" Lift Kit for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK - Series II Suspension System Review

I'm hesitating between 3 and 4 stars. Overall grade - 4, Instructions and DIY - 2, Quality of parts - 3. The spacers themselves appear to be quality, the calipers and stabilizer link are minimalistic at best. I was surprised that the links don't have a ball joint to improve flex and limit future squeaks. Brake extensions are good for the rear but could use some real engineering for the front. The instructions were pretty rough, glad they made some videos and although more effort and detail…

This kit does what it is supposed to do. Even with the schematic instructions, it only took a few hours to install and the Jeep now looks great. I have to mention a few things that I haven't seen in any other review. It's not the kit's fault, it's the nature of the beast. Every 2-3 inch increase in spacers causes the same problems. Raising the front rotates the axle forward and changes the roll, which isn't adjustable on these jeeps. This makes the steering very responsive, shockingly…

Illustrations show welded steel spacers. I got hard molded plastic spacers - no problem for me. Somehow I got a little over 2-3/4 inches of lift up front and almost 2-3/4 inches out back. The front spacers (I measured them prior to installation) are 2-1/2" in front and 2" in back. Yes, everything fits perfectly. I should sit in the spring baskets like spacers. Installation from start to finish took 4 hours at the back and 6 hours at the front. The front installation also included the…

great product, fast delivery. You will need more tools than the tools required list. First you need to install the back panel. For brake line extension brackets, you will need a 7/16 socket and wrench to install the brake line caliper onto the extension bracket. You will prefer a 10mm head for removal when reinstalling the screw that goes into the frame. When you get to the point where it asks you to remove the lower rear stabilizer link bolts, you'll need to remove the whole thing to install…

I think it really should be closer to four stars but for the price and time I give it five. Annoyingly, the kit comes with all standard threads while Jeep has all metric threads. I hate metrics, but I hate switching between them even more. An impact driver and wrench makes the job go much faster (I love my Milwaukee tools for this). I also found that my jacks weren't high enough to use on the frame, so I was wary of using my van's leveling jacks to jack up the Jeep. The instructions were…
