Default Rough Country Lift Info Please!!!!

Hello all,

This is my first post on the forum and my question is this: Do any of ya'll have rough country lifts on your jks? If so, which lift? how does it perform on/off road? how does it compare with teraflex, OME, Skyjacker, etc..Specifically I am looking at the 3.5" series 2 lift, but any info will help...Pictures will help too! Thanks in advance! My rig is a 2007 Wrangler Unlimited X (4dr)

Rough Country lift are more for us on a budget. I have a 3" lift and it works great for the money. It is beginning to sag just a tad on the rear. If you could save or have the money. Go with One of the other guys. I will be getting a 4 in full traction in the future.

Rough country 4 inch on 37s. I would have to disagree on rc being for people on a budget. I've had mine for almost a year now and the quality is right up there with those other outfits along with everything that comes in the kit for the price is outstanding. Flex is great, don't have any pics yet disco'ed but you can tell it moves nice on and off road. Everything runs smooth at highway and city speeds and as for the trail the lift compares and exceeds other lifts around. Easy to install too. Hope that helps.

I have the 4 inch x flex kit on mine, do it has the adjustable control arms, which I highly recommend, but with 33s until my 35s come in next week. I have used rc on every jeep I have had, and they have always been great. The jku still rides great, maybe even better than stock.

Do you have any driveline problems? and did your axle position change any? or do you have the track bar stuff as well?

No driveline problems whatsoever. Axle position does change, but thats why it comes with an adjustable track bar for the front, and relocation bracket, on the axle end, for the rear. Everything you need is in that kit.
