In addition to a more aggressive look, this kit provides excellent handling and confidence on rough roads. This kit includes Performance 2.2 series shocks, brake line brackets, a track bar bracket, and rear sway bar links.

Application.This kit is a simple bolt on for 2007-2018 JK Wranglers. The exhaust spacer kit by Rugged Ridge is needed for the 2012 and newer Wrangler JKs.

I have a 09 Jk, Do I need new springs along with this lift kit or will the factory springs be fine?

  • The Rough Country 2.5 in. Series II Lift Kit w/ Shocks reuses your factory springs and installs spring spacers to give you the additional lift. If you are concerned about ride quality, it would be better to get new springs instead of installing spacers.

    Perfect lift!

    I wanted to put 35s and a small lift on my 2008 Sahara jku. This lift is awesome. It arrived in 3 days. And only took me and my 10 year old about 4.5 hours to install. I took it out on the trails today. It is perfect for what I'm doing with my jeep. With the lift and tires it gained about 4 inches plus.

    Good purchase

    Good lift for your money. Took some time to install but that much was expected. Used it as my first lift and its been good but will probably upgrade to something with better off-road capability in the future.

    A great Lift!

    This lift was a little harder to install than I anticipated. However, I was able to complete the job. I do have the mechanical aptitude to complete the job. It was mentioned before, the right front shock takes a little work, due to the battery right above. I do like the look and I like the ride. Getting ready for my tires!

    Very easy to install took 4 hours - would have gone quicker with better instructions. Start with the rear because you need parts from there to complete the front. Lots of videos on line watch them first.

    2016 Jeep JK 75th Anniversary Rough Country Lift

    The kit was fairly easy and straightforward to install. I installed the kit in one day in the driveway with no lift other then my floor jack and a couple of jack stands. One thing I would add to the directions for the rear is to take both of the brake line supports loose and remove the wheel sensor line from the frame. Other than that I had no problems and would recommend this to the do it yourself-er.

    Greeat Value Lift Kit

    The lift kit is a great value for the price. The install went well. I had a hard time with one of the nuts holding a shock on and had to buy some spring compressors to get the springs off the front. I think I could have muscled the springs off but with it jacked up I didn't want to do that. The springs on the back come off easy once you disconnect the track bar. Definitely can do on jack stands if no access to lift.

    Good for going beyond a leveling kit.

    Great, complete kit that will get you that bigger lift than a leveler. Gives you all the important parts to get off the ground without having to buy extras. Good, comfortable ride on the road and on rough terrain. Give yourself a day to install if you are doing it by yourself without professional tools and a hoist, but it can be done. Plenty of room for upgrades later if you want. Definitely worth the price.

    Great lift for the money.

    Installed it myself and took about 4 hours total to do. It drives and rides just as before the lift was installed. Added 35” tires and 20” rims and it really changed the look of my wife’s Jeep. Only complaint is the instructions could be better. Shows starting with the front but you need to start at the rear. You’ll need those sway bar links for the front.

    Great Product for the money

    This kit is exactly what my wives jeep needed. Put 20 inch wheels with 35's. Gave it the perfect height and stance. The kit was easy to install. Did it in my garage with jack stands and jack. Took a few hours since I could only lift half the jeep at one time. If you had a lift it would have taken half the time. Someone who has basic knowledge of vehicle repairs could do this with no problem.

    Great Product

    I've only had it on my Jeep for a week or so now, but it rides great. I had it installed at a body shop so I can't comment on the assembly. I will say that it seems to feel drifty when driving down the highway, might have to do research into adding a stiffer sway bar.

    Nice kit

    I like the finished product. Instructions lacked detail some though over all this went pretty well. We work on a lot of cars. Two of us got this done in about 7 hours. We did not use the exhaust extensions recommended. We believe there's enough clearance for normal to moderate driving. If you're planning on serious off roading they may be helpful. All in all I'm happy w this kit and would recommend
