cheap jeep doesn't mean cheap parts. The way I look at it, if I buy s jeep for cheap, then I have more money to get good quality parts that won't break or sag shortly afterwards

I don't know where you're getting at. But I had this exact same lift on a xj. I bashed the hell out of that jeep. Never broke anything on my suspension. The coils never sagged. The parts weren't cheaply made either. It's not a long arm kit by any means. I use my jeep mostly to get me to my fishing spots. I bought bigger tires. So I need more clearance. This isn't my only jeep either. This is my most stock jeep tho. This in expensive rough country lift will get me to my fishing holes jusssst fine

I drove out there the other day. Got off 595. Went north. On 27. Stopped where the air boats are. Had some gator bites. Hit a mud hole or two. I'm anxious to go. Any weekend I'm game!

this makes me wonder, if my 93 donor wasn't so rusty, I could've sold my 98 and be rocking long arms. Oh well,
Yeah rough country is rough country. Some people can rock it and the most despise it. I've got no exp. with them, I'm going thru IRO for mine. They got some good adj. CAs

Somewhere, word started getting around that it's easy to use because you can paint stuff without doing any prep, and it suddenly spread like wildfire among the ignorant masses. Not to mention everyone thinks it's the coolest looking stuff ever because they've never heard of flat or semigloss spray paint. It's one of those things I hate cause it's popular for no reason. I'm tired of Jeeps being trendy.
plasti dip plus off-road vehicle is not right. I do not like it when people use it on their tail lights, rims, logos. Just spin the extra money and do it right the first time

Well I guess you could pay me. I would install it, remove it, sell it to a chump, and buy a quality lift.
