There are are a lot people now that have realized rough country has stepped up and made their better. I just love the way 4 wheel parts stores say that they have a basket full of rough country stuff that falling off and broken. Just like on the spacer lift there's nothing to break its all metal. There Is a guy ON YouTube in a video with their 2.5 spacer lift on his JL and they're doing all kind of rock climbing and it's holding up very well. They are a very good company when it comes to customer service they stand behind their product very friendly people on the phone. There are few dealers they say they love the product and love dealing with them and they're easy to deal with, 4 wheel parts is going to push Pro Comp and Smittybuilt being they own both company's

RC is marketed well, has good customer support and ships quickly. That pisses 4WP off because they don’t market their brands as well. It takes away from their business and it is cheap compared to their brands.

I had a RC 2.5" thrown on last Friday. I've been driving all over for the past 5 days and it's been awesome. Rides like stock. Around corners there's a noticeable difference just because the center of gravity has been raised a couple inches, but you'll get that with any lift. The ride itself though is great, and there's no noises or anything that comes from the suspension at all. It looks great and given the fact that it's such a simple kit, I think they have it very fairly priced at $200. If you look at the raw materials, including the cost of paint, each kit probably costs them $75-$100 to make. Asking $700-$800 for a boost lift must have a TON of margin built in.

Here’s mine with the RC lift and the stock 33’s. I did switch to 37’s a few days later. I didn’t like the look with just the 33’s. Might look a bit better on a sport/sahara JL.

Can you share a photo with the RC and 37s?

Thank you! Yours looks great! I’m hoping to see @jeepfandotcom as well, to see a Rubi.

@Stickerhead when you put on your Rubicon Express 2.0, did you notice an axle shift front and back or was everything even all the way around? Cant stand one tire sticker farther out than the other. Thanks...

That's what adjustable track bars are for man!

No, I did not notice. I think I measured it and it was ok. I only had to straighten the steering wheel. It is not much of a lift

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Like we didn't know that already. Its nice to know whether axle shift is happening from those who have this lift.

Won't there be an axle shift for all lifts, regardless of lift size? (unless a track bar bracket or adjustable track bar is used for correction) It's just a matter of how much shift, no?

 

[Bingy]

I would think so. Some don't notice, others will notice. It will bother me if it does shift so having an adj track bar on hand will be the way I go if I ever decide to lift. I'm sure there are some lifts that keep everything even and that may be luck since every Jeep is a little different.

I bought my RE lift at 4wheelonline. I'm very happy with the result and ride quality.
