Is there any of you guys out there that is running a rough country lift. I always thought that rough country was a cheap lift but im hearing they are making alot better quality of products now is this true or is it still a pretty cheap suspension lift.

I have the 2.5 RC lift just with springs and shocks. I really like the ride and quality. I didn't want to go too big because the Wrangler is street driven a lot.

I have a 2.5 spring and shock. I use it on trails and street, works well.
I will be going to a 4 or 6 inch RC.

I have the RC 3 1/4 lift on the 4 Jeeps i have in my family. My oldest son has the biggest Jeep running 35in tires with a 1.25 body lift. We havent had any complaints with the lifts. Yes, for the price they arent bad if you are a little short on funds compared to the more expensive lift kits. You just need to figure out what type of wheeling you plan on doing. All ours are more daily drivers with off roading here and there. I think if you plan on more serious wheeling, there may be better lifts and features you could look into.

I have the 2.5" coil lift on our JK Unlimited and it has been on it since 6/08. I noticed that the ride was getting more and more rough so I pulled the shocks off and they are all completely blown.

The lift has sagged so much that I had to compress the stock shocks about 3" to get them to bolt up. If I were you I'd spend a little more money on something else.
