Price: $449.00
Pros: Great relatively cheap lift.
Cons: Raised more than 2.5 inches and had to redo more than expected.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I am happy with the lift, but I had to do much more than originally planned. some steering linkage neede to be replaced, binded so much it wouldnt move without the T-case drop, and new brake lines were needed.

Price: $400.00
Pros: Works great dont quite need new brake cables and it let me buy a set of 33" tires. Works with stock parts and relatively easy to install
Cons: Like any lift kit caused steering problems
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Great lift kit and very affordable. It is perfect if you want to upgrade tire sizes. Isnt too much of a lift to affect the gas mileage. Looks great though you will want to by some shims to fix the steering problems that they cause. Otherwise it was great and very affordable for a 17 year old with only a winter job

Pros: Cheap
Cons: See review
Recommended? No

Comments: Poor instructions, also should include T-case drop. I had bad driveline vibes after install. Less than 200 miles on springs and already I've started to get axle wrap... Haven't even been off road yet! Pics to follow.

Price: $453.00
Pros: Better ride than stock, some what easy install.
Cons: Poor instructions, as to parts such as u-bolts, spacers, and torque specs.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: My OEM springs were sagged so bad, when I installed this kit it raised my yj 5 full inches, which caused angle problems. It took 1 1/2 days with my limited tools and experience. My YJ does look better and ride better. Good value.

Price: $400.00
Pros: Easy installation Easy ordering by phone or online
Cons: Raised jeep much higher than 2.5" and I now need more parts to even drive jeep. Customer service is lacking.
Recommended? No

Comments: I recently ordered the 2.5 inch lift kit from Rough Country and it raised my 1995 Jeep Wrangler over 4 inches which resulted in the transfer case being at such an awkward angle that I could not even drive my Jeep without damaging the U joint. I called Rough Country and they told me to buy a transfer case drop kit. 2.5 " raised the front 4" and the back 6". Now I have to shell out more money and cannot even drive my vehicle home from the mechanic's shop. Kit never mentioned needing the drop kit and in my experience, you should not need one for a 2.5" suspension lift kit. Total hassle and now I am out even more money. I would definitely investigate before buying.

Comments: Easy to install and dealing with Rough Country was great. The 2.5 yielded approx 3inches and has not really sagged and it's been on and wheeled for a year now.

Price: $450.00
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Rough Country was a dream to deal with, its has been a long time since I have delt with a customer frindly company like them. the lift was down right cheep for the quality you got. came complete, even new u-bolts, shock, which I upgraded to nitros, and added a new steering stablizer. install was easy, although they could use some work on the instructions. the non mechanically inclined people would have trouble figuing out their minimalist instructions. the ride is ok, front like to bounce, but is softening up over time, rear was good from the get go.

Rough Country yj 2.5" suspension lift kit
Pros: Easy Install, 4 hours with right tools
Cons: Needs extended brake lines, TC lowering, and quick discos
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Overall I like the kit, but for the price, I would like the lowering kit and discos. The kit says nothing about extended brake lines, I would add them too.
