Okay, so most of you who have seen my previous JL videos know that the only complaint we have thus far is the clearance height. Although the 35s have helped, we've still done a lot of belly sliding and banging. So we finally opted to install a 2.5" lift!
Again, keep in mind that the lift is NOT needed to clear 35" tires. We're opting for a lift simply to clear larger obstacles.
With that being said, our goal was to find the most affordable lift that we could, which happened to be Rough Country's 2.5"lift at a whopping $175, and put it to the test!
We're genuinely curious if the more affordable option can withstand the beating we generally force on our "Stepchild" (aka our Jeep). We were pleasantly surprised to find that the kit and the included hardware were good quality (the only possible exception being that the shock extension brackets seem a bit on the thin side). But we'll know soon enough if it can handle our type of fun!
