Rough Country 2.5" Lift Kit for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ LJ | 6 CYL - 653.20

I had a 4" lift in a 97 Jeep TJ that I purchased. The ride was very bouncy and I had a lot of driveshaft vibration. The fix was either a 2.5" lift at $300 or a SYE at $600. You might be thinking "don't lower your jeep dude". The math doesn't lie. Saving of $300, zero driveshaft vibration, better ride, and the motor now purrs at 70mph. I wasn't sure if I'd like the Rough Country kit as a lot of youtubers crap all over the kit but I am 5 star happy with my results. I do off road with my jeep, but I'm not a rock crawler. In addition, having the spring compressor is a must have and worth the $25 price tag

2005 Jeep TJ 4.0 - I'm very experienced with wrenches. So, take your own experience into consideration. I suggest buying a transfer case lowering kit, adjustable sway bar links, front and rear adjustable track bars and coil spring compressors before installing this. The instructions included were detailed enough, and YT videos are helpful. I was able to completely install everything listed above in a weekend with my wife helping articulate the axle for coil spring instalation.I used many air compressed tools for removing stuck bolts and did cut several off. It rides much better now and is exactly what I wanted with 31s.Highly recommend, everything felt solid and well built except the shocks. They work well, but I'm not holding my breath for them to last long, just a feeling. The price is right for what you get.

Love the lift was perfect for what I was hoping to achieve. Just the right height, makes the Jeep look very good, not to high, not to low. Super simple to install, took me about 4-5 hours, also it was my first time trying to install any kind of lift before so I took it slow. Rough Country was also super supportive, they contacted me making sure everything was alright and if I had any problems with the lift.

Probably one of the best budget minded upgrades I could have done. Noticed a huge difference in on-road and off-road performance. I recommend this set up for anyone looking to upgrade performance without breaking the bank. Is it the absolute best set up for a rock crushing rig, not really, but for an entry level jeep that can tackle intermediate trails and rocks.The springs are tall, and soft and the shocks have great dampening. The springs arrive and still taller than advertised, but should settle down in a few months. I was running stock springs with 2 inch budget boost pucks. These springs sat 2 inches taller than that old set up. Going down the highway at 70, I glide over bumps and in town I barely notice the pot holes.This system took me and a buddy about 5 hours to do, mainly because I am not mechanically inclined. But I wanted to do it, so I did, and I learned. If your experienced, probably about 2 hours and your done. SUPER SIMPLE.My one small complaint is there are some vibrations now since its taller. once the springs settle, I hope those new vibrations go away. but the aren't terrible, and the jeep still tracks straight. I can live with it, and if they don't go away, I have cheap options to resolve the issue that don't involve dropping the transfercase.

It is not easy to install, my mechanic did the work. But the kit came complete and the price was less than the competition. the result is that the jeep is riding better now with its new suspension.

2003 Jeep TJ 4.0, fronts were fairly easy to install, rears were tight with the longer springs but got them in! About 2 weeks later, after less than 100 miles of road driving (no off road) one of the front shocks sprung a leak. The customer service reps at Rough Country were awesome, and I received a pair of replacement shocks the day after I called! 15 minutes later (seriously) I had the bad shock replaced! And now I have a spare shock. I'll update this review if I have any long term issues, but I'm very pleased so far!

2000 Jeep Wrangler 4.0. Very good kit for the money . Time will tell On the Quality part. Shocks are made in Mexico . Did have crazy vibration after installing this kit. You will need to buy a t-case drop kit (1inch spacers ) to correct the drive shaft angel. The front shocks do not come with the bottom bolts and nuts and rear's. You will have to reuse the old ones . It definitely rides better now . I have 31x10.5r15 on the pictures . I did not use a spring compressor . As you can see I used the tiedowns straps . It worked pretty good .

Lift improved my stability of my Jeep TJ a little stiff at first but once you break it in it's a lot smoother. I got a 2.5 engine so went with 31-inch tires 15 inch rims .l love the look I would recommend this lift to anybody. Also went with the front and rear traction bar relocation brackets and steering stabilizer so my Jeep aligned perfect. I also got the transfer case drop kit no rattles no squeaks love it . All of Rough country.
