My friend just purchased a Rough Country 4" lift for his 2000 TJ. I was
wondering if anyone in this forum has any experience with Rough Country.
Please pass along your thoughts. Good or bad experience, easy or difficult
to install. Also wondering about driveline vibration. The kit comes with a
transfer case drop kit and I've heard with this installed there is not
vibration. Can anyone verify that?

Anyway, all feedback is appreciated and desired.

I installed a 3 1/2 inch lift kit and dropped the Tcase. This was
good for about 1 1/2 then the vibrations got really bad. I installed
a new drive shaft and AA SYE Kit and the ride is so smooth now.

Also if you lift it that much when you flex you could bind the stock
rear drive shaft and bend it. I think this is what happened to mine.

With that much lift you should intall the SYE but you could install it
in 6 months.

Plan on installing an SYE and CV driveshaft with a 4" kit.
