What do you all think of this product? Seems pretty inexpensive as far as 4" lifts go. Help the new guy

it's a rough country lift. i've installed one and it's not bad but, i would ditch the cam bolts and pick up a set of adjustable front lower control arms to set your caster.

As WOL said the cam bolts are good enough as interim solution, specially for 4" of lift.

SEARCH for RC lifts and you will find several owners that are unhappy with the ride it provides.


The price is tempting, but the suspension is the foundation of your Jeep, try not to go too cheap.

I started out with that lift...if you look a little harder you can find it for less $$$ than that. if i had to do it all over again i problably would have went a different route with more of a complete lift that included adjustable arms. only issue i had was a sagging rear spring, which Rough Country was quick to replace.

Won't you have brake line issues.. Wouldn't you need to extend them.. didn't see any there?

It comes with brackets to drop where your brakelines attach to the frame so you can lower them...like i said before...a more complete lift would come with ss brakelines but then you are going to pay more

The kit comes with brake line brackets to drop the brake lines. I would also recommend ditching the cam bolts and getting a set of their X-Flex adj. lower control arms. Buy it directly from Rough Country, they're a forum sponsor and will get you the best price. Ask for Ben, He was great with some questions I had and gave me a JK-forum discount.

Cams...
Get some adjustable CA's to set castor..
May I suggest looking at a more complete kit? If you add up what you're going to spend on CA's etc you might as well get something like the Full Traction 4" lift. It's a real goodie

All you need is the front lower and it's still a great deal after that. I have been running this lift for a year now with no problems and the ride is great. Listen to the people that have been running the 4" lift and you will find very few people that are not happy with it. For those you that are not familiar with RC they do offer the 4" lift in 4 different kits.
4" Suspension Kit - Basic kit
4" Series II Kit - Basic kit + Complete Control Arms Set
4" X-series Kit - Basic kit + Complete X-Flex Adj. Control Arms Set, adjustable track bar, stainless steel brake lines and quick disconnects.

Most seem to be happy with their $575 4" kit that you are talking about. We also have the 4" X-series which is more complete with Adjustable Arms w/ flex joints, Adj Track-bar, SS brakelines, etc.
