Default 3.5 lift and tires
Spent a long day today getting my rough country lift and tires on. I'm pooped!

Tires and wheels were used deal I picked up local

How is the ride? I plan on doing a Rough Country 3.5 with adjustable arms on my ZJ this summer.

I only took it around the block. It was stiffer than worn out stock for sure.
Front end is bad out of alignment but hopefully get that fixed today.

As expected it doesn't ride as smooth as stock. The tires are pretty noisy also.

On the up side, I took it out on a couple of trails and it did great especially considering it has no lockers or limited slip.

I would like a little stiffer ride than stock, just as long as I still have good flex.

Alignment will change ride quality .

Question! how did you mount your Baja lights? I'm trying to figure out something for my WJ.

There were factory driving lights already mounted there. One was broken so I replaced both with aftermarket

I have a drop pitman arm coming. I'm surprised they aren't included in the lift kit.

You're finding out a Jeep is more than just a motorized vehicle, it's a survival tool.
