5 Top Rated Questions
Is this lift good for off roading ?
-
The Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift Kit will work well in off road situations and will allow you to fit up to a 32" tire
What does full articulation mean??? I'm trying to pick the right lift for my yj n don't know what it means......
-
Hello, Axle articulation is vertical wheel travel – as in, how far the axle can move up and down relative to the chassis. Articulation is what allows the vehicle keep all four tires in contact with the ground on rough terrain, which provides better stability and allows the vehicle to maintain traction. On a solid axle vehicle like a Jeep, as one side of the axle is forced up, the opposite side is pushed down as the suspension conforms to the terrain so that maximum traction and stability is maintained. It is one of the most important factors in determining if a vehicle can get over an obstacle.
Clearance Will this 2.5in lift kit with a 1in body lift be able to clear 33in tires with full articulation?
-
The Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift Kit w/ Shocks (87-95 Wrangler YJ) with a 1in body lift would allow for proper clearance to run 33in tires, however, you would not have full articulation. For full articulation you would need a complete 3.5in suspension lift. A great option would be FABTECH 3.5 IN. PERFORMANCE LIFT KIT W/ SHOCKS (87-95 WRANGLER YJ); Item #J101560, which can be found here: http://www.extremeterrain.com/fabtech-3-5-perf-shocks-k4022.html.
I have my stock suspension on my Jeep and it rides rough on the road I can feel every bump. Will this kit make it a smoother ride?
-
Anytime lifting yourJeep you will hurt the ride quality and would not necessarily improve the ride quality
In many of the customer photos posted here for this product, the Jeep seems to be lower in the back, squating just a little. Is there a recommended leveling kit to correct this?
-
Since the front springs handle more weight, these will settle more, helping to level the ride height. Additionally these are meant to be able to take the weight of heavier steel bumpers and winches which will weigh down the front. We do not recommend a leveling kit with this lift kit.
10 More Questions
- Is there a way to measure my current leaf springs to determine if I currently have a lift or if its the factory set? 1 answer
-
-
There are ways to measure the leaf springs to see if you would have a lift or not. But, the easiest way to tell if there is a lift is to take the Jeep to level ground and measure from the ground to the body of the the jeep. A stock Jeep sits 18" from the ground.
-
- There is conflicting information in the product description, video and what's in the box. One says 2 front hydro shocks, another says 4 Nitro shocks. which is it?? Thanks! Brian 1 answer
-
-
The Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift Kit w/ Shocks will come with front and rear shocks.
-
- If i am starting with a bone stock 95 YJ and put this kit on, will i need to do anything with the drive train? like a longer one? or anything? 1 answer
-
-
The Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift Kit will not typically require any additional components, however in rare instances, we have seen the need for a transfer case drop kit due to driveline vibrations.
-
- Would you have full articulation with a 2in body lift and this 2.5in suspension lift to run 33in tires? 1 answer
-
-
Only the Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift Kit will provide articulation from your suspension, the body lift will not. We suggest at least 6" of lift to clear 35s on a YJ. At 4.5" ( the combination of the suspension lift and body lift ) you may need to trim the wheel wells and install flat fenders to prevent rubbing.
-
- What track bar could you use with this kit in a 87? 1 answer
-
-
The Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift would allow reuse of your OE track bar, or you could purchase aftermarket adjustable track bars.
-
- Are these a factory OE style bushing, or poly bushings that will squeak in a year? 1 answer
-
-
The Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift Kit utilizes rubber spring bushings. These bushings are non greaseable.
-
- Will this lift kit work with stock shackles or do I need a taller shackle? 1 answer
-
-
Thank you for your question! This will come with new leaf spring shackles.
-
- What is the biggest tire I can install after using a 2.5 suspension lift kit on my yj 1 answer
-
-
After installation of a 2.5" lift on your YJ, you would be able to fit a 31" x 10.5" tire.
-
- How big of a suspension lift can I go without any modifications to the running gear I.E. transmission/transfer case drop, new driveshafts? 1 answer
-
-
The Rough Country 2.5 in. Suspension Lift Kit w/ Shocks (87-95 Wrangler YJ) would be the best height to go with, with out having to modify the YJ suspension as much. You would simply need just what is included in this kit.
-
- With 3.5 lift kit. Would I have to change drive shafts. Any modes to the drive line thanks steve 1 answer
-
-
Thank you for your question! Every Jeep reacts differently to be lifted but usually anytime you lift you Jeep over 3 inches you would need to do a slip yoke eliminator and new rear driveshaft to help correct the driveline angle.

All day project
I decided to install the kit on my 94 yj myself. About 30 min into it my air compressor died so I was left with hand tools. I had to improvise with ratchet straps and blocks to situate the leaf springs into place. All in all it took my about 10 hours to install. After a Little drive around the block I re tightened everything and she’s been good and smooth on the highway and Offroad. Actual lift it gave me was more like 3 inches since the old suspension was flat. A good product I’d recommend to anyone.

Didn’t level the front with the back
Install was easy , new bolts around, haven’t been able to test it out yet, other problems to fix first. The jeep doesn’t look level , disappointed with that, will update once I hit the road.

Lift kit
Love the lift kit. Took a few days to put in but all in all wrath it. I ended up cutting off the old leaf springs and some of the U bolts. I do think putting longer brake lines how to smart I had to use two jacks and my high- jack what I bought with the lift kit what was a lifesaver. It's been three weeks and it rides great took it off road and it was a blast how buy again

Dont buy
First off my u-bolts were a quarter inch bigger and i called rough country they said call extreme terrain and get po-number, then i tried calling rough country again during buisness hours and i kept getting put on hold and went to voicmail once, never got a call back. Then the bottom leaf didnt have the center pin on center of leaf it caused the whole leaf to be hanging over the other leafs about a quarter inch making u bolts not seat correctly

Higher Ground.
Had to give my 92'YJ a 2.5 lift to accommodate the 33"x10.5" tires I decided to install. I must say it definitely gave my YJ a more aggressive appearance from it's original appearance. I also added a steering stabilizer while I was at it. It definitely gave it a different ride and handling. I haven't tried it offroad yet, I am sure it would do OK as it is sitting higher off the ground.

Looks great...caused issues
Timely shipping and overall great look for my '91 YJ. Install was reasonable (3 hours), but we did have the Jeep on a lift which made it much easier. This lift has created a major vibration between 35-50 MPH. Hoping the transfer drop will help, but that was not an expense I was anticipating. I think that if this result is the norm then the kit should include the transfer drop or at least tell you it's needed. I hope that fixes my issue...fingers crossed.
