Review: My gosh what an improvement. I previously wasted my money with a 'budget lift' using the pucks over the OEM springs. after installing this on my Jeep LJ in my driveway by myself, with the help of some coil compressors, it's been flawless. no need to lower the transfer case or install new sway bar links or adjust driveshaft or anything else. Ride is SO much better, firmer and secure. and it Looks great too. I did eventually install a rear relocation bracket ($25) to better center the rear axle, but that was more for looks than anything else, but if you have oversized wheels/tires the offset will show more, so I recommend doing it at the same time as the lift kit to save time. A+ to Rough Country. I don't know what all the whining is about. Would buy this again 100%

## Questions & Answers

**Q: DO NEED TRANSFER DROP SPACERS WITH THE 2 1/2 LIFT KIT**
A: Robert, I had this kit installed on a 2001 TJ replacing stock springs and shocks.  I have 33" tires and it works great.  No extra parts needed.  The sleeves for the shocks are not included so you might want those.  It is the perfect amount of lift for what we do.  Enjoy.

**Q: Does it come with brake brackets**
A: No brake line brackets are needed.

**Q: Can I still use my old sway bar links or would I have to buy new ones?**
A: You can use your current sway bar links with the 2.5 lift.  NOTE: the boots for the shocks do not come with this kit.

**Q: Does this come with the mounting bracket for the shocks**
A: No brackets necessary on my 98 Wrangler
