Review: Excellent for lifting Jeep LJ - My gosh what an improvement. I previously wasted my money with a 'budget lift' using the pucks over the OEM springs. after installing this on my Jeep LJ in my driveway by myself, with the help of some coil compressors, it's been flawless. no need to lower the transfer case or install new sway bar links or adjust driveshaft or anything else. Ride is SO much better, firmer and secure. and it Looks great too. I did eventually install a rear relocation bracket ($25) to better center the rear axle, but that was more for looks than anything else, but if you have oversized wheels/tires the offset will show more, so I recommend doing it at the same time as the lift kit to save time. A+ to Rough Country. I don't know what all the whining is about. Would buy this again 100%
Review: It level the jeep and people like the new look - This lift was just right. It level the jeep and people like the new look. The process of adding the new springs was simple and straight forward. A spring compressor and flat bar are a must. We had it in and on the road in about 7 hours with dinner in the middle of the job. The ride is better that stock.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: DO NEED TRANSFER DROP SPACERS WITH THE 2 1/2 LIFT KIT**
A: Robert, I had this kit installed on a 2001 TJ replacing stock springs and shocks.  I have 33" tires and it works great.  No extra parts needed.  The sleeves for the shocks are not included so you might want those.  It is the perfect amount of lift for what we do.  Enjoy.

**Q: Does it come with brake brackets**
A: No brake line brackets are needed.

**Q: Can I still use my old sway bar links or would I have to buy new ones?**
A: You can use your current sway bar links with the 2.5 lift.  NOTE: the boots for the shocks do not come with this kit.

**Q: Does this come with the mounting bracket for the shocks**
A: No brackets necessary on my 98 Wrangler

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It level the jeep and people like the new look

This lift was just right. It level the jeep and people like the new look. The process of adding the new springs was simple and straight forward. A spring compressor and flat bar are a must.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy instal but should include all parts needed.
*by W***Y on April 6, 2024*

Installation was easy and everything fit as it should. But I had to buy additional parts to fix vibration and alignment issues after the 2.5” lift. I did by a spring compressor at the local auto shop which made things pretty easy. Even with just the 2.5” lift I did get some drivetrain vibration so I installed a 1” transfer case lowering kit which solved the issue. Also, the 2.5” lift moved my rear axle out of alignment to the passenger side and front to the drivers side which caused about 1.5” offset of my axles. So I had to get the adjustable track bars to allow for proper alignment adjustments to be made.
