Lift Specs. Rough Country's 2.5 inch Lift Kit with Performance 2.2 Shocks improves ground clearance while able to accommodate 33 inch tires. It's exactly what you need for added clearance when traversing the trails as well as towering over those other 4x4s you end up parked adjacent to.

Lift Construction. Not only does this kit look great, but Rough Country's shocks are built as tough of your Jeep. The shocks house a chrome hardened piston rod for improved performance.

Application. This Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift Kit with Performance 2.2 Shock is designed to bolt on the 1997 - 2006 TJ Wranglers with the 6 cylinder engine.

Surprise ride.

Installed this new 2 1/2" lift kit with gas filled shocks on my son's '05 Wrangler with the anticipation of a stiffer ride as a result of the increased lift. Much to my surprise and satisfaction the ride ...

Would this lift kit fit a 33x12,5 inch tire?

Is there anything else thats suggested to buy with this lift?

Cam

  • No, when lifting your TJ 2.5 inches you should be able to just add coil springs and shocks, anything over 2.5 inches may require additional modification to your suspension and driveline.

does any one make an air suspension system that will work with this lift kit? I have an air system already installed on my stock 2000 suspension. I just had one of the air bags develop a leak. before I simply replace it I would like to ad the extra ground clearance that a kit like this would afford me. However I'd hate to discard the air system since it's already installed and otherwise operational. any thoughts?

JoeS

  • At this time we do not offer any air suspension kits that would be compatible with lifts.

will this work with the RC 1.25 in body lift kit? If it does, are there any other parts I may need?

threebag

  • Thank you for your question! Yes, this can be used with a body lift as well. When lifting your TJ 2.5 inches you should be able to just add coil springs and shocks, anything over 2.5 inches may require additional modification to your suspension and driveline.

    Surprise ride.

    Installed this new 2 1/2" lift kit with gas filled shocks on my son's '05 Wrangler with the anticipation of a stiffer ride as a result of the increased lift. Much to my surprise and satisfaction the ride was actually a little smoother and the handling much better! Super product which I highly recommend. Great price point too!

    Great price and product

    Great product and price. The springs went on with a spring compressor for struts. The one for a jeep won't work. So if you are going to rent one get the right one. Took about four hours with a break for dinner.

    Easy installation

    It took me and a friend 3-4 hours to install, mainly to rusted bolts.I would make sure that you have a spring compressor, makes the job go easier. Just the right look and stance I wanted. I would fully recommend this product.

    Perfect - for our TJ

    The kit pieces all work well together; gives our TJ just the right stance and clearance that we were looking for. The ride quality has improved 100, feels like a new Jeep!

    98 TJ RC 2.5

    I went with this lift because my 98 TJ was riding on all stock suspension with 158K on the clock. Shocks wee really shot and it was sitting lower than my buddies stock 97. I also have 3.07 gears and a 4" RC lift with 35's isn't an option until I get gears. My jeep came up 3-3.5 inches and rides really smooth without all the mushy flopping from side to side. I'm very pleased with the RC 2.5 kit., until I get gears and can put 35's on my jeep.

Word On The Trail

This company has always been the go-to site for good deals, good products, and service. I never have had problem with the products sold, even after several years of use. For example I have had the tire rack on my jeep from 2003 to now, I have brought a new jeep and the first thing I ordered was a new rack from them for my new jeep. Good product, good service, and the best prices. I use this company as a base line to compare other dealers with, and this company always wins out.
