rocky road stuff is junk...just read the propaganda they put on their site. also look at the components in the lifts...blocks in the rear, spacers in the front, transfer case drop...cheap components...not worth the money.

Back in 1999-01 I built a samurai for offroading, had 35's,5:13's, 4:16-1 t-case, locked front and rear when I finished. One my first purchases in the build was with Rocky Road, took me 2 months to get it after lots of calls. Had parts missing when I finally got it. That was my last(only) purchase with them. The lousy customer service is what got me.
That was along time ago and just my 1 time experience with them. They are still around, so they are doing right by alot of customers it seems.

Over $800 and you still have spacers and blocks? That's madness.

Yeah, you can get a RC 4.5 with full packs for less than that.

rocky road is a bunch of garbage

they make false claims on their site claiming other peoples stuff is garbage, in order to make them look good in the eyes of someone new to jeeps.

and that pic of "2" lift and 30's" is actually 3" and 31's, they took the pic from some forum member a few years ago

Better off with one of these two:

XJ 4" Lift Kit

Kit Includes:

* 4" front coil springs
* 1.5" rear lift shackle
* 2.5" rear add-a-leaf kit
* Front and rear shock absorbers
* Front sway bar links
* Transfer case drop kit
* U-Bolt set (specific to your vehicle)
* Brake line relocation bracket
* Hardware
* Installation Instructions


or

The Long Arm Version

Kit Includes:

* Critical Path Long Arms
* 3 piece subframe assembly
* 7.5° Caster adjusting bracket
* 4" front coil springs
* 1.5" rear lift shackle
* 2.5" rear add-a-leaf kit
* Front and rear shock absorbers
* Front sway bar links
* Transfer case drop kit
* U-Bolt set (specific to your vehicle)
* Brake line relocation bracket
* Hardware
* Installation Instructions




If you don't like those, I've been beating on my BDS lift for a few years now with Zero problems! SO they might be worth looking at too...they seem a little on the pricer side these days though.

There's also this one from Zone Offroad

Then there's KOR

I could go on...but I'll stop here.

Later.
