I am looking into buying a Rough Country lift kit. I want a 4.5" lift with 31"-33" tires. I am not sure which kit to go with. 1) 4.5" suspension lift kit-$459.95. 2) 4.5" x series kit-$829.95. 3) 4.5 long arm kit-$1299.95. I would be using this rig more as a daily driver than as a wheeler but if i want to go play around in the woods or snow i want to be able to do so. Any suggestions will help out. I hope i am posting this in the right area. If not my bad. Thanks.

 

Are you sure you want a Rough Country? Look at the link in my Signature for a few other ideas.

And to make this in the right spot, give us an intro. Where your from, what your jeep is, have you had an XJ before etc. Welcome! This place is my favorite forum for sure.

 

He wants a 4.5 RE lift

Welcome Welcome

 

Haha I know but I feel like most people get pushed into certain companies because they don't know what else is out there. The big companies advertise/are available on alot more websites so people don't even look elsewhere. I wanted a Skyjacker lift till I shopped around and saw how ridiculously priced they are.

But to OP if you really want Rough Country, long arms is always the better bet if you can swing the extra cash. Better ride on/off road... more articulation. If you do go with them, contact Grimus or one of their other guys on the forum.. you will get a discount!

 

The bushings tend to wear out faster on RC. I was a Rancho guy till I found out their prices lol .

 

dont go rough country, they suck. If you want to be cheap and still get a half decent lift, check out zone

 

Iron rock offroad makes a good cheap lift kit too. A few people on here like them.

 

Including me. They are great quality for the money. Everything is solid and mine has withstood the test of time/ my heavy foot. Customer service is also awesome.

 

Hi and welcome, I got Rough country, no problems.

 

You are correct on not knowing much about lift kits, or jeeps. I appriciate all the advice i can get.

 

You'll get lots of advice on lift kits here, but I can't add any as my Jeep is still stock.

 

lookin at lifts for mine too, thinkin zone lift, too many bad posts about rough country for me. especially there bushings.
