any experience with this lift?
was looking at some lift options tonight and wondering if anyone has tried this one from rough country. http://roughcountry.com/jeep_jk_2.html
I would want to try it with just the shock relocation brackets for now. I run an 08 X with rubicon wheels and tires. I simply want a little more space to play with/look better for right now. I wheel a little pretty much every w/e but I dont wheel very aggressively as this is my DD and has to get me to work on monday. I dont want to drop a whole lot of money into replacing my shocks because I am eventually going to do a complete lift system around 4" I just want a little something to hold me over till the cash comes my way for a good quality kit . With that said I really hope this BB isnt garbage that is gonna grenade something, any thoughts greatly appreciated, thanx in advance.

Lots of people running this lift. Try a search up top, you'll find a bunch of threads on it. There is also an install write-up in the, you guessed it, write-ups area.

Been running it since Jan' 08. Have not tested it much offroading but it has been spotless. I did add FT adjustable front and rear track bars so my cost was much higher, but now, i'm set if I want to go coil lift, etc... As noted, you will still have some rake, even though it is a staggered lift.
