New Rough Country 2.5 Progressive rate Spring Lift and 1.25 Body Lift
I was lucky enough to be one of the JK forum members to be selected to try the new lift before the contest. My 08 was bone stock (Rubi HD Suspension), and was brought to the Rough Country facility. Rough Country installed the new 2.5 inch spring kit with their 2.2 shocks, and 1.25 in body lift. 35x12.5x17 Cepek Mud Countrys were installed also.
I've put about 250 road miles on so far and I'm impressed. The powder coating and quality of the springs look great and with the 2.2 shocks, the ride is firm but not overly stiff, much better than stock. The JK sits level now.
The 1.25 inch body lift looks very clean, no noticeable unsightly gaps. The T-case and tranny shift smooth.
So far so good , I hope to wheel it this weekend, I'll let you know.
Pictures to follow.

No ESP issue
There is a winding road I take to work each morning, there is a small section that normally caused the ESP to engage. This morning went through the same section and nothing, nada. I'm going to adjust my headlights down, had a few cars flash me this morning. Sorry.

both centered just fine, I am surprised that these mud country's aren't as loud as I thought they would be. So far I'm really enjoying this setup. I'm also jazzed with N2Rocks off road evaluation. Jets beat the titans, it's a very good week.
