i live near them..they use rough country lifts. compared to stock, they ride harsh but hey, its a jeep. ive got their 4.5" kit and i know the guys. they are a great group and give excellent customer service. i broke a leaf spring in half and they are gonna give me a free new one soon as they get them in. highly recomended, i sometimes will stop in just to shoot the **** with em..haha. when i got my lift, they didnt have any shackles in stock so they custom made some beefier ones with no extra charge.

dont really know 100% how but i got it lifted before the winter and during the winter it was reaching about -30 degrees so it was hell on the jeep. plus the speed bumps in my gfs neighborhood are like parking lot curbs so that didnt help..but yeah one day i took off my wheels to re-rig up my e-brake after swapped out the rear end and found the main leaf chillen in two pieces. slowly worked its way closer and closer to the tire so i took it out and now it leans to the passengers side.

soon as it gets in tho, theyre gonna swap it out free of charge

Was that one of their leafs from a kit though, or a stock one that you'd added an AAL or block/shackle to?

Cool, good to know. That is a good and bad story - scary to hear it broke, but good to hear the company at least handled it well.

Great group of people to deal with and will usually get you a great deal on things if you talk to them.

Ah sorry wrong. They build their own lifts from the get go! But the do also sell Rough country lifts as well.

The ride is by far the closest lift to being OEM soft on the market! IMO

Do another search on google hit some of the xj zj forums out there.

Good luck
