Rough country 2.5 lift pics / reviews

[TTEChris]

Any rub flexed? I have my lift on the way but I’m debating the 35’s or 37’s

My wheel offset is different than his, but on mine with 37x13.50's it requires 3" bumpstops (included are 2")
I wasn't able to "fully" flex it out with 37s and the 2.5" lift

I’m looking at 37 12.5 ko2 or mastercraft Mxt with 1.75 spacer stock rim

Here is mine with the RC spacer lift and 37s.

Great looking set up. Curious, what wheels those are?

Do these kits level the Jeep out and take away factory rake?
Also, any need for adj front track bar to center the axle?
Thinking about doing this kit, then adding lowers, track bars if needed, and def fox shocks when they become avail.
I won't be adding any bumpers, or hardware, and want to retain factory ride quality. Thoughts??

They do level out the Jeep(2.5" Front 2" Rear)
You don't "need" the track bars to center the axle, but if you are anal like me you may want them. We installed the 2.5" RC setup on my wife's sport and she has zero complaints with the way it rides out of the box. She didn't notice any difference in ride over stock. She actually likes the ride better now that we've added D Rated 35s

LOL. My wife isn't anal, and the money saved goes towards my Jeep so no track bars for her

Say what?

Maul and I feel very betrayed and await our apology track bar.

I've asked you 50x how the Jeep drives and every time you say great. Not once have I seen you go out and measure how far your axle is off
I have a track bar here for you love if it makes you feel better, but I expect a detailed explanation of what a track bar does when I get home

Can anyone tell me what they paid to have the kit installed?
(if they didn’t do it themselves)

Thanks I’m advance!

Looking great, everyone.

I like the leveling effect of this kit, too. I’d like to maintain the factory ride - so this is a good option for me... and the price is right.

That said, from photos in this thread, there seems to be a noticeable difference between Saharas and Sports on this lift. I see significantly more fender gap in the Saharas posted compared to Sports (with comparable 35s). I believe Saharas sit 0.75” higher than Sports from the factory, so perhaps that’s the difference.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or is that real?

Unfortunately for me, I like the aesthetics of the Sports on this lift with 35s... my order is for a Sahara, which I think had a big too much fender gap.

I like the RC just fine.

What wheels are those? My wife wants those for hers...

This is with the RC. I had a different experience. Although the ride is “acceptable,” with 37’s, I find the steering a bit flighty and it’s a bit rougher.

I ordered the RK 2.5” Flex, so we will see if it rides any better. I’ll follow up once installed.

Looks great! What pressure are you running in those 37's?
I had the opposite experience when going from stock to the 2.5" lift and the E-Rated coopers. I felt the factory Rubicon tires wanted to wander all over the place(Especially when I drove away from the dealer at 42psi.) Once I dropped it top 37psi like the door jam suggests it seemed to wander less.
When I added the RC 2.5" Lift and the Coopers I actually felt it wandered a lot less than the factory setup. A lot of that probably has to do with the E-Rated Coopers I am running(At 27psi.) Which still ride rough at that PSI, but the lift itself didn't change the ride quality
