Jeep Wrangler Rough Country 2.5' Suspension Lift Kit w/ Shocks (1987-1995 YJ) Review & Install

Item J10226
MPN# 615.20

Improved Clearance. If you want to add some lift to your YJ, plus refresh many of the suspension components, you can do all that with this Rough Country 2.5" Lift Kit with Shocks. With this kit, your Jeep will be leveled out as well as lifted, so it looks and rides great. You’ll enjoy good handling both on and off the road with this kit, including excellent articulation of the suspension for trail obstacles. Also, this setup is fairly stiff, so you’ll notice significantly less body roll. This lift kit will work for any 1987 to 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ.

Complete Solution. You get everything necessary to lift your YJ safely and reliably with this kit. Among the included items are new lift leaf springs, Rough Country N2.0 nitrogen shocks that match the taller ride height, plus an array of necessary hardware. Just remember that the nitrogen-charged shocks prevent any foaming, bubbling, or cavitation of any fluid, so you can work these shocks hard over a long period of time and not have problems with fading.

Straightforward to Put On. Like most lift kits, this is fairly involved to put on your Jeep. If you don’t have experience with suspensions, you should get help from someone who does, or take your Jeep to a shop. Plan on the process taking between 3 and 4 hours. Fortunately, the installation is bolt-on only, so no drilling, cutting, or welding is necessary.

I'm in the process of fighting my YJ to get this kit installed. Hopefully the rear is easier than the front.

Great video my 95 has stock leafs Do I need new brake lines and transfer drop with the 2.5 springs your selling

[loganacres]

Do ya’ll have a video for the 4" lift on a YJ?

Any need for shims with this kit? Asking because I just bought 93 YJ w this kit and it has shims on the rear, but not in front. PO didn't adjust drag link after and I;m thinking he may not have had a 4 wheel alignment done either. Just looking for anything else that may be wrong and causing squirrelly steering when letting off the gas or accelerating hard before I take it in for the alignment.
