Price: $660.00
Pros: Easy install, great customer service, looks great.
Cons: A little squeaky and noisy.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: My cousin and I put it on working 2-3 hours a night for 4 nights. As we were finishing the rear of the vehicle we noticed we were short a set of bushings. Called Rough Country at 3 pm on a Thursday the parts were there by 10 am Friday. Got the steering stabilizer and nitro shocks upgrade. Had it on for close to six months now, so far no problems with the lift kit.

Price: $600.00
Pros: Looks Great, Great quality
Cons: Instructions fail to tell you all the tools you will need before you start, causing you to run out and delay the project
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Instructions did not include at the beginning that you would need a 11/32 drill bit and coil compressor under the "Tools needed" both these made me run out twice..

Price: $499.00
Pros: Ride much smoother, these reviews for the series II UPDATES were not in effect until sometime after MAY,2011.
Cons: rear upper shock mount slid out of it's bushing, reinstalled no problem. Rear track bar bracket bolts backed out replaced with nylocks no problems now.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: People talk about it not being a complete kit? Consider this a lot of other "complete" kits do not come with shocks.. This kit does come with decent shocks.
I do Recommend a JKS or similar adjustable front track bar. Also purchased some 2" bumpstops and JKS discos too. Consider getting YJ front brakelines at least too.

The ride I'm getting out of this kit since June is really nice and smooth, I have owned a BDS, RE kits and this kit on road is better riding then EITHER KIT for me. OFF road the RE kit is better no illusions here. For the price range this kit is it.

Price: $450.00
Pros: Cheap, included everything needed but front disco's for the beginning/moderate jeeper. Shocks/springs ride GREAT!
Cons: upper bushings in rear shocks easily slide themselves out. Had to install upper bar pin eliminators
Recommended? Yes

Comments: CS is great and responsive. Shocks/spring rates are really great and beat out my $1k skyjacker kit for ride and driveability(on road). Flexes nearly as much with the rubber bushings as my value flex skyjacker kit did with the heim joints.
with the 4" lift, you will most likely need a 1" mml or go the sye/cv d-shaft route to keep your vibrations down.

Cons: no tracbars and the rear bracket is poorly designed
Recommended? Yes

Comments: it took a full day because it was my first lift install and i wouldnt recomend the indtructions because its much harder getting the springs in the way they explained how to do it i just dropped all control arms then put the springs in and was ready to go

Price: $800.00
Pros: Easy install for novice.
Cons: Rough Ride
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Included Shock Upgrade, Adjustable Front Track Bar, Drop Pitman Arm(not used), and Performance Steering Stabilizer. I like Rough Country stuff a lot, I'm not a hardcore wheeler, but plan on doing a good amount. The price and customer service is great on from RC. The kit should include all new hardware even if it costs a couple more bucks and new brake lines.

Price: $550.00
Pros: Value, ride height
Cons: no track bar relocator for front, PITA to put on rear lower control arms
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Great lift and the most complete lift I could find in the price range I was looking for. It seems to get a little stiff when it is cold outside. The front sway bar hits my frame making a popping sound because i need to upgrade to a adjustable track bar. Overall i am very satisfied

Price: $300.00
Pros: Good hardware
Cons: Cheap shocks.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Decent hardware and flex. Extend your brake lines by using stock YJ front brake lines.

Ride is very stiff. Suggest new shocks.

Price: $639.00
Pros: lift, upgrade shocks 2.2, and front sway bar disconnects delivered to my house for 639. installed very easily
Cons: told didn't need SYE kit by rough country's rep, I need the SYE kit
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Installed easily and flexes nice, just wasnt expecting to have to purchase SYE kit. 1 customer rep said nope should be fine, i purchase and install and have some binding issues. I call back to rough country and talk with 2 other reps and they say they strongly recommend it. Sales are based on commision! Overall I am happy with the lift, just have to get few more parts and she is done.
