Finally had the Rough Country 2.5" spacer lift and their N3 Shocks installed on my JLUS today. Picked it up and drove it home 40 miles. Feels great. I don't feel any noticeable difference over stock. If there is, it's negligible. Tires are 315/70/17 BIG KO2'S, rims are 17x9 Black Rhino Warlord. Overall, I'm very happy with the stance and Im really thankful for getting a "C" load tire to help with the ride quality.

Sorry for the poor pictures. We don't get a great deal of sunshine up here this time of year.

Looks pretty darn good, I have a very similar setup with the same tires and RC boost and you are correct the ride is very close to factory and @TTEChris of Tankcustoms here is Houston did an outstanding job doing my boost, relocating my spare and mounting my new wheels, now I just have to get back over to his shop for some other things

Looks great! Not to be a pain, but if you get a chance would you mind measuring to the top of your roof rack from the ground? I’m looking to put in the RC 2.5 but need to stay under 6’4 total due to work garage limitations. Great rig!

I don't have the exact measurements but mine fits into my garage just fine. My home was built in 2009 and has a standard door opening.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately my parking structure is less than a typical home garage door. Did you take fender pre measurements? If it’s a true 2.5” increase than I think I will be ok, although I’ve seen conflicting reports that it gives more than 2.5.

On a side note--a guy pulling a trailer lost control of his truck and ran into my Jeep today. Damage to the front bumper, left front rim and tire, alignment is out and I have a fault with the traction control.

I've had my fill of Alaskan road conditions.
