Question lift advice please help

ok i bought a new 2011 2 door with the auto its my first jk. with that said im looking for a good lift for decent price. im on a budget and have found rough country to be cheapest and have a lifetime warranty on all parts i have used them on several jeeps in the past and a ramcharger and have been happy. but i want to go with the coil spacers to maintain factory ride. this jeep will not see any major trails but will be used off road. what do yall think of this the kit will include the front adjustable track bar and rear bracket and comes with sway bar links. are spacers spacers or do i need to find a better brand has any one used these on the jks

I had the Rough Country springs in my 4dr JK and over time the really sagged. I was disappointed in them.

I switched to Rock Krawler's 3.5 suspention and it's like night and day difference, I'm very happy and satisfied with my RK stuff. They also offer a complete warranty on their stuff.

Be careful of buying something cheap. I've found that if you do, you'll be replacing that part in the not so distant future.

I agree with Cdyspeed. At one time Daystar was the major mfg of spacers didn't matter who's name was on them they were most likely made by Daystar. Don't know ,if thats changed or not with a lot of this stuff coming from China.

Look at Rusty's lifts. American made, front and rear adjustable track bars, and great prices.
