Rough Country 2.5" Lift Kit for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK | 2-Door - PERF678

This install took 1 full day. I’ve never installed springs before. So I Googled install instructions and I looked at a few videos, with the help of my wife we installed the shocks and springs. It was fairly simple and with this 2.5 lift I didn’t need to replace any other parts. The lift feels great and looks even better. Just a friendly reminder don’t forget to disconnect the brake line when you’re doing this install.

FELLOWSHIP AND CARS YOUTUBE. Appears to be good quality. The rear sits a hair lower? Maybe the front will settle in a few months. Rides great, time will tell. 2010 Wrangler. 65,000 miles. 35’s. 17” rims. I replaced a 2.5” steel puck lift with stock shocks on extensions. The rear springs appear to hold the weight of my spare tire better. I wish this kit didn’t level the front end. I prefer the front to be a hair lower, do towing and load purposes. Just my thoughts.

Good bang for the buck. Springs are a bit heavier than stock springs, but the ride is good and close to stock. Kit was easy to install. I did need a bar to help pop the bottoms of the new springs into place, though it was not bad at all to do. I just had to lift each spring a bit to clear the bump in the middle of the spring holder. The hardest part was getting the old hardware off. I was able to use the stock sway bar links and didn't need to change them. I noticed I only needed the brake line adapters in the back, the front had plenty of line. Lastly, I needed to tweek the drag link a little bit to straighten out my steering wheel but that took 5 minutes to do.

If you have some basic tools, a good jack and jack stands, and some basic DIY confidence, you can do this lift in your own garage. If you are doing it at home with just jack stands, rent yourself some spring compressors from your local auto parts store, as the new front springs need to be slightly compressed to fit back in. Also, take your time and don’t rush it, the first wheel is a learning experience, and the rest come quicker. I love the look and factory ride, not too hillbilly or ghetto, just a moderate leveling and slightly higher stance that makes your Jeep look aggressive and more trail worthy. Also don’t forget to buy 1.5” hubcentric wheels spacers if you are running factory wheels, it helps with rubbing and gives you a wider more aggressive footprint. You can now run 33’s easy, and even 35’s. Just buy it and do it!!!

Easy to install, watch some YouTube videos first. I used a bottle jack to raise the frame to get the shocks in and out and worked like a charm. The only thing that took time was getting the old shocks off. Not sure why the hid the top nut but it does some off. Notes to be aware of. Take a couple of hundred miles to set the shocks and the coils. Also it felt like the jeep was floating when I hit bumps. Finally found that you need to center the body over the axel. So if you don't already have adjustable track bars plan on getting front and back. My body was off about half an inch and after I stalling the adjustavle track bars and centers g it up, it drives much better. I went with the RC track bars and hopefully they hold up. They have a lifetime warranty so it seemed worth a shot. Also had to get wheel spaces when I threw 18" rims and 35" tires. Jeep looks great now with a higher stance and bigger tires. Gone is the mail carrier looking jeep.

This is a good basic kit missing 2 things that are necessary if you want to do any off-roading, exhaust spacers and extended sway bar disconnects. You will also need a coil spring compressor tool it is best to rent one from O’****** it is free. The shocks that come with the kit are ok they will work till you can afford some better ones, IMO this is still a better option than extended shock brackets. I got 4” of lift in the front and 3” in the rear over stock with this kit.

Not much to say but worth it, it’s not going to lift your jeep sky high but will get the job done, has factory like ride still even lifting it with this kit! Install took a good phew hours if you have the right tools! It levels the front with the back. I like the lift a lot!

On a 2009 X Wasn't too bad. The instructions are rough if you've never done it. Took me 12 hours. Had to go to town 4 times for stuff I needed so that was a lot of it. Rent a spring compressor it's just a deposit at O'Reilly's then you get your money back. I used 3 floor jacks, a bunch of 2x6 wood blocks, air tools, I only used the rear brake line relocater as the front has plenty of line, I did quick disconnect RC sways links in the front, the rear stayed stock I have aftermarket ones but they won't clear till I get spacers/ rims.I didn't touch anything with the steering, Anyways happy so far with it. It made the jeep look way cooler

Facile à posé... aucune modification a faire.
