Ive read some bad things about Rocky-Road and their customer service. I personally have never ordered from them because of what I read. For the money this type of lift works well. I did have a spacer on the front of my zj with no problem except it just wasn't enough. The acos I have now works the same way except it is adjustable and more expensive.

Personally I would go a different route. Maybe a 3" RC AAL lift or a spacer in the front with a bastard pack in the rear.

The kit you are looking at is a block kit which I am not a fan of at all.

BDS makes a nice 2" lift as well as Rusty's.

Yea, well i was told that i would have to change out alot of stuff with a 3in lift. I only really want to spend around 300$ or so because the tires are close to 800

I ran a 3" on my 01 XJ now for 3 years. I used a BDS 3" minus control arms and made my own sway bar discos and tcase drop kit. It also depends what your intension are, offroading or Street DD. Just make sure its a full length AAL.

I have a Daystar 2" kit on mine to clear 30's and it was a puck ft/shackle rr kit. Like $120 from Quadratech. If I had it to do over I would have gone 3" to begin with and possibly 4.5". Kits ok but needs shocks, discos, trac bar, etc, etc, etc. You get all that with a bigger, better kit.

fine. its just spacers and shackles. i would just suggest getting some 2" extended bumpstops (can be had from quadratec for cheap) for the rear leafs to prolong their life.

Do yourself a favor. Save up a little more money and buy what you want the first time. I have been through all of the up and downs of upgrading your current stuff. Do it right the first time, like grand dad says!!! Just advise, but I have bee there done that. Good luck with your quest!!
