Rubicon Express Economy Lift Kits

Jeep rides better than stock! Great product and installation!!

I received this kit missing a bunch of parts and 4 wheel part never made it right with me.

Adds a little extra for the trails when you are air downed. ***move rear sway links to front, get new rears*** Bad angle on stock front, broke front sway last night on some uphill bumps.

Great kit for the money install is pretty easy and it looks great afterwards! The only problem I had was the 2 page instructions, and disconnection of the track bar was not necessary and didn't say anything about removing the straps for the rear abs sensors

I agree with a previous review that you'll be glad to have spring compressors unless you're dropping the whole suspension out anyway. You'll need to be comfortable with working on your jeep because the instructions are pretty vague. Know how to pull your springs because they don't cover it - although other brands of the same type of lift do have more detail and I used their PDF files from the 4wheelparts site! My 2 main concerns in buying this lift were having to spend a lot of money immediately upgrading tire size and losing my ride quality. First, my stock 235/75 R15 tires look fine. Yes, there is now plenty of room in the wheel wells to go bigger and I will when I need tires, but it doesn't look silly with the stock streets and I don't have to throw away perfectly good tires. Second, the reason I bought this jeep was because all my other cars have been street racers with lowered firmed up suspensions and this ZJ was the most comfortable and smooth ride I've ever had. I chose this lift so I would retain the use of the stock springs which have much to do with your ride quality. The included shocks are definitely more firm than the ones I took out, but not uncomfortably so. They're a good quality upgrade from stock and it's still my nice smooth ride. I had read in a few online forums that when you do a lift, you can get the 'death wobble' and will have to rush out and get an alignment to eliminate a whole host of problems you just created by altering your suspension geometry. I had none of that with this kit. I've had it at freeway cruising speeds (and often passing speeds), I've shown it hills, streams, rocks, and mud all with no problem and all within 24 hours of install with no further work done. I had kicked around the idea getting this lift for a long while and it seemed there wasn't a lot of info for the consumer. Now I'm so glad I've done it I'm writing this review because this is what I wanted to know before I bought.

Instructions could be better, Video of an install would be nice. This kit only comes with one set of bump stop extensions, if you up grade to the kit with mono tube shocks you get two sets. I also need eccentric cam bolts to do alignment. would have been nice to know what all I needed before I got into the project.

If you serious about doing a 2" lift...rather use Pro-Comp coil-springs (extended with 2") than just a rubber spacers. Same ride but way better trail riding. To keep your budget reasonable, you can still use the Rubicon Express shocks. They are great.
