How we installed the Rough Country 4-Inch Suspension Lift Kit with Shocks on the front of our jeep. The front suspension lift on any car is going to be the hardest, yes it’s because the front has the steering components. Stay till the end of the video where we give our thoughts on this Rough Country lift kit. We talk about the ride and other things.
The hardest part of the front lift was the steering, specifically the pitman arm. Creating the video for this I think was almost as hard as the install, well not really, but it was 36 GB for the install made days of editing.
