rough country 3.5" lift kit???
 
is anyone running this? it's listed as a budget lift. they say you use the OEM front coils to lift the rear. I plan on running 31x10.5's and do some light wheeling while maintaining it as my daily driver. I want to add a loop on the front bumper for some 6" kc lights. and the lightbar that attaches to the factory roof rack with 4 lights and a C.B. anntenna mount. where are you guys mounting the C.B. I have my XJ already now I'm playing catch up with the ZJ getting it ready. any tips or tricks and advice is appreciated. I'm trying to do this on a budget so low cost is nice as long as it will hold up. once again I'm not trying to go rock crawling, I just want a functional lift for larger tires and ground clearance so the family can get off the beaten path.:thumbsup:

Never heard of a RC 3.5: lift, if there is, i'm interested.

Got a link to it?

I don't know of anyone running this kit but a lot of people over at nagca.com run the Iron Rock Offroad kit.

Ive got my Cb on the pass. side of the center console. Works great bc you can run the wires under the seats. Now you can fit 31/10.50's with just coil spacers, bc thats what i did. If you wheel hard you might want to do a little trimming, but if its like mine DD and light wheeling you will be just fine.

Two of my wheeling buddies are running those Rough Country 3.5" lifts...
They seem pretty satisfied with its performance....

I just got my RC 3.5" spring swap lift via UPS today. I will be installing on weds. I have heard alot of good things about it on other forums, and I have learned first hand that there customer service is absolutely second to none. I will post again after I get it on and let you know how I like it. BTW If you call and talk to them they will give you abetter deal than the $ on the internet. I paid 388.00 total with shipping ! I told them I heard about them on a jeep forum, started asking questions then asked em what they could give me one for and they hooked it up.

Just got it on yesterday and I am very happy. Rides good, handles good, and Im only into it for 388.00. Best money I have spent on my jeep yet.
