Default Rough country 3inch kit

Going to get the RC kit installed tomorrow. Nitrogen shocks, coils, and add a leafs, what should I expect the new ride to be like?

Not to much different ....Expect the rear end to sag a inch lower than the front

X2. I ordered the same u did, it still feel cheap. U won't feel any noticeable difference and your rear will be sagging before u know it. It s so soft, I can even bend it with my hands.

I'm not a big fan of AALs, but my XJ had one of these kits on it when I bought it. It's probably been on there awhile (I have no idea how long), and honestly, it's holding up just fine. YMMV

I've got that lift, except I got full leafs. My wife says it rough, but being that my stock suspension was shot, it's actually a lot more smooth. I like it and I have no sagging.

Add-A-Leaf is not a long term solution, your rear suspension will start to droop soon (if your stock springs are already drooping).

I don't have any complaints about my RC 3" kit except their leaf springs suck. They're too short, shackle angle is all wrong and the bushings are garbage. Can't wait until i have the cash to replace them with some good springs.

Front coils are fine, shocks seem fine.
