pros- it was cheap Cons- It is rough. Mine came with 2 different rear springs with the same part #. my jeep leaned for a year while I waited for it to settle. I finally gave up and re-built my spring packs. I now have one more leaf on the drivers side than the passenger side. The trac-bar relocation bracket is a terrible idea. I have had serious problems with it, and know ...

apparently another pro- GRIMUS99XJ Oh and they do flex very well.

I just installed a Rough Country track bar on my 97 XJ with a 5.5 RE coils, and am very impressed with it!! I had a RE 1600 on my old XJ and had horible luck with heim joints!!

I ran the 4.5" system. the aal wasn't up to par, so i built my own pack, the coils are stiff, but I have a homebrew winch bumper and ramsey 9000(about 150lbs) and they feel about right now. I run no sway bars front or rear and this lift doesn't dip out all crazy.Even with the RE upper and lower control arms with flex joints. If I had to do it again and cheap I would go this rout: RC Front ...

I am very happy with mine ..........So far, installed 5-26-07.

i have searched numeros times on Rough Country and i see the same people either bashing or defending my question is how many people have actualy ran a Rough Country lift and what makes them so bad or good compared to other kits Now having said that lets compare apples to apples

i put RC 3" springs and the ada leaf with no problems. I the shocks really suck though. Put some mid grade shocks on and it rids well. Cheap lift if on a budget. I bet the rear will start sagging because of the ada leaf but, it hasn't yet and it's been a year.

i have a rc lift i think its great a bit rough though, but for the money it's a deal

I have a 4.5" lift & the shocks ride great to me (at least as good as I expect any Jeep to ride). The AAL will sag, get full packs if you can afford it or replace the RC AAL with S10 AALs if you don't liek the saggin. Mine drives great & flexes great offroad.

i bought the 6.5 lift that they got. about a month after i noticed the upper bushings on front shocks were shredding. i called rc and they sent me to new shocks. same thing. well it turned out that those shocks cant take rapid bumps. what was happening is that the shock doesnt work fast enough so it makes the bushing start working which just fails. replaced with re monotubes and problem was ...
