How we installed the Rough Country 4-Inch Suspension Lift Kit with Shocks on the rear of our jeep. Since there are no steering components on the rear suspension so the installations was a breeze! We did have a few human errors during the install, but we hope you learn from our mistakes and your Rough Country 4-inch lift kit install good much quicker.
The one thing I like about the 4-inch Rough Country lift kit is that you don’t need a longer driveshaft or a slip yoke eliminator. With the angeled shims on the leaf spring pointing the pinion more toward the transfer case and the one-inch drop installed on the transfer case, we are good. If you want to see how we dropped our transfer case you can either go to the link below or wait until we release the full video for the installation of this lift.
