not trying to sway you one way or another but i ran there 6.5" kit on an xj and thought it was great. there products have come a long way and i have installed several 4" on tjs, two 4" and one 6" kit on xjs and some other add on parts and have had no complaints. i would recomend getting new leave springs where applicable because the add a leaves are only as good as your existing springs are. basically my oppinion is its alot of bang for the buck

I was looking into a Xj 6.5 long arm. I also agree seems like a great deal compared to everyone else. My main concern is how does it hold up on the trail

i only wheeled mine a couple times before i sold it but i do know where it is and is still going strong as for the other people ? have to say no news is good news at this point but i will be installing a 4.5" on a 2001 xj that my dad just bought (also with new rear springs) so if there is any problems im sure i will hear (you know how family is)

I have the longarm upgrade system on my Comanche and its all beef very well made you will like.

wheeled it at Badlands few weeks ago and the system performed perfect. big improvment over the shortarm system I had on before.

that is what I just put on the Bronco a 2.5" lift I had some trouble with mine had some bolt holes not line up but overall and final resalt was good

back many years ago I put a 4" RC lift on my little beat up XJ and beat the crap out of it even more. I ended up snapping a coil spring in the front called them and got killer customer service and got a new one over nighted on there dime . A buddy of mine had the same thing happen around the same time. They ( Rough Country ) revamped the company and turned them selves around to the point that they have some goods products IMHO. Have not heard much negitive at all from the newer product line .

I think the value is great. I have had my lift on & abuse it fairly well with no complaints besides the add-a-leaves & trackbar relocator bracket. Everything installed fine but bracket just kept coming loose, so I welded it in place; now it stays there. the AALs didnt work out well with my old leaves, I sent them a pic of the day I installed them to show that they didnt give me any lift; they overnighted new ones to me on their dime & I tried them but no luck either. I just got some S10 leaves to take care of the problem eventually.

Great customer service, good product, cheap price.

Looks like it still only comes with brake line relocation brackets, you'll prob need some longer brake lines too.

When have we ever known Tony to be interested in longer life and better manners?

Just kidding.... sounds like the way to go...

And Danny... We've seen your rig....
