Default Rough Country 2.5 coil lift questions on aditions???

I bought the lift in my signiture and have a few random questions.
How come sometimes you see shocks mounted what seams like upside down and sometimes not??
Any advantage or disadvatage or just depends on what shock??
Do I need to order sway bar links for the rear woth my kit?
I believe you move the rears to the front??
Does this kit come with breakline extentions??
I found some longer breaklines on quadratec for 115
Any thoughts or advice, thanks

I have a RC 2.5" BB. I don't know about the shocks. I have seen them both ways. Personal preference perhaps. My kit did not come with the longer sway bar links. I ordered them separately from RC for $20. After they are installed, the stock rears are moved to the front. If you install the longer sway bar links, though, you need to also install wheel spacers or they will make contact. When I installed my lift, I wasn't able to use the front brakeline relocator, because the line is metal and had no give. The rears were able to be relocated using the provided bracket. I have been happy with RC products. I hope I helped. Good luck!

I have the 2.5 RC coil spacer kit and it came with the hardware to relocate the brake lines but I did not install them due to buying actual brake line extensions. I had purchased front swaybar disconnects (adjustable) from JKS for the future of a larger lift as well as a JKS adjustable front trackbar.

Hey thanks for the help guys. I think I will order rear sway bar links and new break lines just to be safe.

The rear track bar bracket isn't a bad idea either

I agree with this. It only costs $20 or so and is an easy install.

Wait so I got the 2.5" spacer lift from RC also got the longer links and trackbar bracket. (haven't installed yet)

So I will need spacers with my stock 18" wheels/32" tires bc of the longer links?

So I called RC tonight and ordered the rear track bar bracket and talked to the guy about the sway bar links and he said I don't need them with my 2.5 inch kit...Anyone think this guy is right??
Also I will post pics when I get back to America...less than 30 days
