YJ lift kit
« on: August 04, 2014, 07:53:05 PM »
Hello Everybody,
   Just curious if any of you all had a used lift kit for a YJ laying around collecting dust and would be willing to part with it for a reasonable cost?
Thanks,
Chuck

You're about 2 months too late for the kit I sold. It's about a dozen or threads down from this one. I'll keep my eyes open.

I was just reading it lol. There is a guy in Leomenster, MA with a 4 inch complete rough country kit brand new in the box for $350, I think I might check it out. Just wanted to see if anybody local and part of the group had something. I keep seeing the SOA and that really looks good!

FYI, the Rough Country kit is an entry level kit, I bent the springs and while they sent me new replacements I bent those as well! Of course I wheel a little hard than most, but still...
Take your time and don't rush to get the first one you see, a quality kit is well worth the money!

Rock speaks truth. The better brands will ride softer, flex better and last longer
