Decided on the rough country 6.5" lift. Realized for it starting at $900 and since its the biggest part of the vehicle may as well go big or go home.
Plus its just about the right height i want. and it comes with full leafs and so much more.
But one of my questions is what should i get that they also offer on the page? Am i going to need brake lines too? If i put 33s or 34s will i need to regear?
Now this is all for my jeep i don't even have yet. Just want a goal in mind set.
any reviews for this lift? pros and cons. and how much of a discount can grummis get me?

Is there a reason why you are going with 6.5, with 33s? you really don't need to go that high for 33's. Also with a 6.5in lift you would really want to go with long arms the ride would be a whole lot better.
If you want to go with RC you can go with their 4.5 and 33s and that would cost a little less and also have a better COG. I have a 3.5 DPG/OME super ultimate hybrid and 33s and think it is a perfect combo. But if you want to go that high, more power to you, but if your only going with 33's then you would probably be better off with a lower lift.
With a 6.5in you will need the extended Brake lines. I know with the smaller lifts, you can use Yj rear brake lines, not sure about the 6.5. You would also need a SYE.
Im sure more experienced wheelers will be able to give more info and shed more light into it for you. I was the same way when i first got my heep, and finally realized after wheeling stock for a while that i really don't want to go that high (too top heavy)and then toss on huge tires id rather stay low and have big tires. hope this helps!
have fun with the new jeep!

I feel that 33s or 4s will make i look like a bigger lift and be somewhat cheaper. You got a pic of yours?
