Default Rough Country vs Rancho

Have 2016 JK that I installed a 6” RC lift about 4 months ago. Never happy with the ride on the highway. Very rough, steering jerky, squeaks etc. Removed the RC lift and went with a 4” Rancho with Fox shocks...night and day difference! Now actually enjoy driving my Jeep again. Anyone looking for a cost effective lift can’t go wrong with the Rancho!

Glad to hear that you like the new lift, but there is likely more to it than just the name on the box...

I can't imagine any 6" lift riding super great, specially with factory axles. There's only so much you can do with 6° caster built in a front axle with that much height.
