Ruff Country lift??
Hey all....I enjoy driving my TJ stock and trying to do everything the big
boys do and I've really had easy time of it....although being stock my heep is too close to the ground and I'm beating the crap outta the undercarriage....so it's time to lift it before I do any more dammage...a 4" lift to get 'er up on 33's is what I'm lookin'... I was jus reading that someone purchased the Ruff Country lift and it says they put in a SYE to rid the heep of vibes...well according to the ruff Country site they say that that combo 4" + 33's does not require an SYE...is this not true?? I really like the price of the lift and seems to be a great extensive lift for the price... would love to hear from some more who have experience with this... So what are the thoughts on the ruff country kit?? any other recommendations on simular priced lifts?? TIA-- Jeff '03 TJ & '95 ZJ For offroad videos check my server @ ftp://24.138.75.11 |
Re: Ruff Country lift??
I bought the Rough Country 4" lift for my TJ. Here are my thoughts:
1. It is ROUGH. Be prepared. 2. No, you don't NEED an SYE. I had no vibes. I just got tired of having my shift boot flop around. I had to remove the retaining ring (I have a tuffy console) to be able to shift into 2, 4, R. When you drop the transfer case, the transmission slides back a bit. I don't like a dropped t-case -- it takes away from the lift. You're lifted, but now your t-case sits a couple of inches lower. Why bother? 3. You'll still need extended brake lines if you're going to disconnect your sway bars. Get ones for an older chevy pickup. I think they're something like 7" longer and cheaper. You'll never need another set. 4. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably still go this route. For $495 delivered to my door, I couldn't beat it.

Re: Ruff Country lift??
Hey eric...thanks for the response...Rough?? do you mean the suspension is
stiff, causing a rough ride?? I understand the transfer case lowering takes away from the lift but is still above the axles right?? which means that I can get 33's on her which will bring my axle clearance up...right??
