I just wasn't sure if your 6.5" kit would be too high for mostly road use or if I should do the 5.5" IRO kit. Does your 6.5" kit require you to go like 2mph around turns lol? I can't wait to get home and see the pictures in this thread to help me decide!

If you keep the front swaybar connected it will turn similar to a stock jeep. I wouldn't suggest any high speed cornering in any jeep, but one lifted correctly isn't much different than a stocker.

Thanks guys. I do keep in mind that it's a Jeep and know it's not meant to turn like that. I just didn't want it to be like "wow this blows when I have to turn." I think this thread is going to sway me toward the RC kit instead of the IRO kit now. Now I just need for a person to call me back so I can get an 01 and then sell my 92.

You're long arm kits are lookin' mighty appealing Rough Country. Its just too bad I just sold my XJ.

But maybe I can do a long arm kit on the Comanche that I am hoping to pick up this week.

I also want to comment on your customer service and quality products, as I am very impressed. My best friend bought my XJ, and immediately purchased a 3 inch lift kit. We took out time and installed it throughout last weekend. When we completed installation, we took it for a very long test ride through all sorts of conditions (Highway, high-traffic, dirt/country roads), and it honestly rode like a dream - way better than my XJ ever rode and I have it for 3 years. I am now converted to a Rough Country faithful. Cheers!

Edit: My friend also had a problem with the U bolts that came with the kit and the AALs, but you helped him out immediately.

Mine has 6" of lift and is DD by myself or my wife. No problems - handles as good as a stock Jeep, or better.

Any chance you guys will putting together an MJ specific Long Arm 6.5" kit that will include weld on spring perches for SOA?

**Rough Country** · 11-03-2009, 12:28 PM

well we already have the weld on perch for the rear. I will have them look into the front I will post up when I find out.

Your current MJ lifts are all short arm, right? The XJ long arms/cross member set up should be no different than the MJ. If RC decideds to piece together a MJ 6.5" it should include the same front components as the XJ kits with only changes to the rear. The rear would have no leafs, just weld on perches, shock mounts, different rear brake line and eye to eye shocks instead of bar pin type XJ shocks.

If you guys decide to piece a MJ kit together please PM me a price.

Thanks

This is a great day. Well, maybe. Are these going to fit a ZJ? Or is there an upgrade coming that is LA for the ZJ.
