I have had my Jeep Cherokee for a few months. today i got in my Rough country 3" lift. Will put it on friday. does anyone have this lift? how do you like it? also got my 31" 10.5" tires. my other car is a 1995 eclipse gsx.... dropped way to much money into so i am selling it. anyways just thought i would say Hey to the Forum

you'll have to make sure to tell me how you like the ride of the rough country. I am thinking of doing the 4.5 to mine in the spring.

Welcome to the forum!

yeah where putting it on tomorrow. ill let you know if i get any death wobble or vibrations. i wont have the tires on in tell Saturday. this jeep should last me a long time with only 60,00 miles on it

So I guess I just want to know how stiffly it rides on the road. I have head that they are kind of rough, but i just want someone to tell me otherwise so i can buy it and be happy.

Kyle

IMO they are going to ride rougher because of the control arm angles that a 4.5" lift brings. that said they arent "that" bad, its definatly manageable. For a somewhat budget kit they arent that bad at all.

if your looking for better ride quality your going to have to spend more.

RE perhaps?

Kyle

RE/OME if you want good ride quality, RE if you want good ride quality along with good off road performance. As you can tell im a huge RE fan.

as well you should be. That lift looks great on your Heep. I may start thinking about the RE

I have the 3 inch rough country and love it. to see pics of it it is under the heading lift ordered. Fairly simple install it's just time consuming. the front was the first getting the axle to drop low enough. other than that it was a smooth install. just watch the shock bolts they snap easy.

I agree. I drove in my buddy's xj which had the 3" RC (full packs) lift and it rode nice, not too much different than my stocker. I always thought they were rough but it's all talk. I installed RC 2" AAL and it's not stiff either. Their shocks are "alright" though. I'd opt for Old Man Emu Nitrochargers instead. Best damn shock out there.....

here guys its done. yeah getting the front axle down far enough for the spring is hard. we had to go buy a spring compressor. sorry these pictures are terrible but heres all i could get before my camera died

Kyle

looks like you did some clean work, get some more pictures up when you get around to it.
