With the RC 2.5" lift you ONLY get shocks and springs. Aren't there a few thing missing compared to the TF kit ? Do you need to buy rear sway bar links seperatly?

I'm rockin the 4" kit and love it! Wheel pretty hard in it, and have had absolutely no probs. Great price for what you get, and don't forget about the forum discount!!

I installed the 2.5" Springs and 2.2 shocks kit, Works great! Did the Northwoods Jeep Jamboree this past weekend and no issues. The ride is rougher than stock if it matters to you.
I did not install anything additional beyond the kit and no issues. No track bars, nothing.

So do you leave the stock rear sway bar links alone? What about bump stops and the rear brake line mounts?

You got a nice set of quick discos, the lift, and the relocation bracket for a little over $400. That's still well over $200 saved for other mods. Problem solved
A coulpe questions.....How much rougher of a ride would I get? It's my daily ride (not that stock is like driving a caddie) and what is this relocation bracket that you speak of no........ does it come with the kit? Thanks

Don't worry about ride quality, that should be the least of your worries.
I know what your saying..... but my ride to work is 110 mi. round trip and my butt hurts when I get home. Ok I'll toughen up..it's a jeep.

Why don't you save up a little more and get a kit that will actually improve ride? There is no reason on a modern jeep to have a rough ride.
