I've looked at the 4.5" Rubicon Express lift and it looks pretty good but so does the 6" RC. Let me know if you guys have any info on the Rough Country lift and how it performs. Thanks Re: Rough Country 6" lift for YJ [Re: hoki06] #810942 05/10/07 07:14 AM Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 1,087 Southeast Michigan BobRowe Body Damage is Cool As a general rule, for leaf-spring-suspended Jeeps, the higher the lift, the more problems you are likely to run into, such as steering, driveline angles, etc. So you will likely run into more of these problems with a 6" lift than with a 4.5" lift. What size tires are you planning on running on your YJ? 1977 CJ-7, fiberglass body, AMC 360 w/ headers, DUI ignition, Edelbrock intake and Holley 4150 carb, TF999, Dana 300, 4.56 gears lockers, York air comp, 4" susp lift, 2" body lift, BFG 35" M-T tires, Megashifter, AGR pump & box, REP8000 winch.

I would like 35s because they are bigger but it may be less of a headache to do 33s Re: Rough Country 6" lift for YJ [Re: hoki06] #810944 05/10/07 04:31 PM Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 2,079 Arlington, Texas Brown81CJ5 Body Damage is Cool The RE 4.5" will clear room for 33x12.50's. A 1"-2" body lift with that should clear 35's. The only thing I've heard about Rough Country is just that...rough.
