Default Rough Country 4' lift

I am looking at getting the Rough Country 4' lift complete!

Here is what it has, does anyone have this and are you happy with it?

Give me the pros and cons!

Front: Lifted coil springs, upper and lower control arms, track bar drop bracket, drop pitman arm, and brake line relocation brackets.

Rear: Lifted coils springs, upper and lower control arms, track bar drop bracket, sway bar links, and brakeline bracket.

Shocks: Kit includes (4) High Performance 2.2 series shocks.

Help so many lifts not sure what to do!

4' or 4" lift

The 4' (4-foot) would probably require a lot of custom fabrication.

With 4" you would need new drive shaft and if you going to add a 4" your going to most likely run 35's i would think with you would need to rear gear your front and rear.

I just ordered this kit last night. It looks like a good deal if this is the last lift you are doing. If you plan on lifting higher, or doing some serious off-roading, this may not be the kit for you as the arms are all made specifically for this kit, meaning you'll have to scrap everything if you want to move on.

On a 4-Door, your shafts should be OK, on a 2-Door, you'll need a new front shaft at least, maybe both.
