2. does anybody know if the grade 8 bolt kit from northridge still work on the RC control arms and adj. track bar? I'm thinking of getting it as an added piece of mind.
3. since i didn't use the track bar bracket. the steering stabalizer did not move. do i still need to move the bracket on the drag link over an inch as per the instructions?
anything else i need to double check?

I've had mine on for a few months and several thousand miles with no complaints. I think in my own opinion this is the best lift you can start out with and expand later. I have since installed bilstein 5160s and about to swap my springs for 4 inch Evo plush ride coils.

thanks... I guess i need to go back and move the stabilizer over. Yeah I also got 4.5" of lift. so even if the springs sag a bit im still good. it rides great and is a great platform to start a build from.
anybody know about the bolt kit fitting?

I installed mine on a 2011 JK Sport and honestly, it looked great, but I had nothing but issues with it. I ended up buying adjustable control arms, track bars and still couldn't figure out what the issue was. I finally gave up on it and traded it in on a 2012 rubi.
That being said, I know others have been running the same product, without getting the extra's and they have no issues. One thing for certain, Rough Country was there every step of the way to assist is in troubleshooting the issues I was having.
I would not hesitate to buy from them again!

Loving this lift so far! I got the adj trackbar & some longer ss brake lines. I didn't gain as much lift as you folks getting 4.5"... I did have the highest stock rated springs though. I saw almost 4 front and 3.5 in the back. I'm adding a 3/4 spacer in the front along with a front bumper very shortly!! ... In my terms that'll be before feb 2013.. Lol

I have had this lift on my Jeep now for about 3 years now and no issues. I did change out the springs for some EVO 4" plush ride springs and a 1" Teraflex front coil spacer to make up the difference of the 12,000lb winch.
