Default Rough Country VS. Misc Lift

Alright so today i got my Ex gf (we are still really good friends) to test her flex out. and well... Lets just say there is a reason i do not buy any Rough Country stuff.

here are the specs:
hers:
Rough Country 4.5" lift with full packs and no sway bars(disconnected) 4,000 miles on this lift too

mine:
5" front 6.5" rear no sway bars.

we have the same shocks (rusty's-i changed them out) and factory bump stops.


so almost identical ish right? btw we are both open/open so we just left it in 2wd and went until we lost traction in one wheel and could not move any more.

well let me have the pictures do the talking

Yea but it also looks like you have a little bit more trimming up front and if your rear really is 2 inches taller.... I would expect it to flex more. But... that is like 2 xj lengths longer and i dont think the things mentioned would make that much of a difference lol
