I just ordered a 4.5 Rough Country X-Series lift from Baseline 4x4 Outfitters.

I've been running a OME 2" lift for the last three years. I has been kinda bothering me that all my fellow managers drive new full-sized trucks that tower over my XJ, even with their stock suspensions. Well... then I got to work the other day and ended up parking next to some guy we had just hired to work out in our warehouse. He drives a bone-stock 2009 Liberty. I cringed when I saw that his roofline was several inches higher than mine is with a 2" lift. Then I noticed that one of our "elder" sales ladies drives a Honda Pilot that dwarfs my XJ.

So... TIME TO GO BIGGER!!

I think I'll couple the lift with some 31" Duratracs and some JCR Crusader sliders eventually.

I was originally going to go with the Rusty's Advanced 4.5" lift, but at $1158.25 shipped with adjustable control arms, the Rough Country, being on sale, was considerably cheaper with basically all the same stuff. I hear mixed reviews on both brands so I hope I made the right choice. Sorry, but I'm remodeling our house, so I didn't have an RE budget right now.

their 4 1/2" longarm kit isn't much more than that.. wanna say I paid 1400 shipped?

RockKrawler 3 link long arms cost me 700 bucks shipped, then I bought a 4.5 RE coils for 80 bucks, a set of 1.5 shackles for like 40-ish bucks. And got a 3 inch AAL from a previous lift. Then I made my shackle relocation brackets

I'm currently sitting at 5 inches lift and cost me less than a thousand bucks and it's a 3 link!

Rough country 6.5" long arm was only 1800 shipped when I got it.

I see now how the way I worded my post is misleading. The $1100+ was for the Rusty's kit. I got the RC kit for $829 shipped.

Prolly coulda hooked you up with an RE kit at the same price..for much higher quality.

Would your kit have included upper and lower adjustable arms, adjustable track bar, disconnects, and brake lines? I priced out an RE kit like that online and got sticker shock. I don't do a lot of hard wheeling or rock crawling, so I'm hoping the RC kit will serve my needs.
