Great video. I like the fact you didn't just go for what your pockets can stand. You gave everyone each option and gave the pros and cons
Glad you liked it!
Great work mate !👍
Very helpful video and your voice is not annoying. Thanks. I got a leveling kit on mine to ride my 35's but I want to go up. Thanks for quoting some prices on this.
Glad you liked the video Bill!
@@danrockwell1883 Oh and its "Clay,,,Bill Clay",,,Die Hard Reference. LOL
Tera flex makes a short arm 4” lift so no welding needed. I would recommend going with better control arms as that is what really makes the ride better, not so much the lift. It’s all about the play in your control arms, and the quality of the shocks. Shocks are relative to what type of ride you want. Do you want a soft ride or rigidity for rocks… It’s really up to you. The standard Jeep comes with cheep control arms and rubber bushings. That is where things give with bigger more demanding set-ups. The bushings can’t handle the pressure and have too much give causing your ride to seem like it’s all over the place.
Great advice here, much more knowledge than I have on Jeeps!
threw on a 2.5 RC suspension lift with my 35s on my JL and im loving it man
Hell yeah, congrats on that!
@@danrockwell1883 appreciate it man🙌🏼
@@javinunez9376 did you add control arms or track bar?
It looks really really sweet. Love what u have done with it. As always great job!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
@@danrockwell1883 Anytime bub
Thanks for making this video, very helpful
Glad you got something out of it!
Great video man, thanks !!
Great info for a potential new Jeep Owner.
Glad you liked it!!
Another informative video thin king of getting jeep Sahara so some great points . Many Thanks 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Of course!!
Your jeep looks beast, I really like, I have been debating on keeping my truck which is a 2021 Chevy 1500 3.0 diesel or going with a 2021 80th Jeep Wrangler and after this video I might just pull the trigger on it.
Unless you need a bed, I would get a jeep!
Awesome, very informative!
Glad you got something out of itb
Honestly if you have pretty mechanically inclined buddies you can do any lift. Time consuming but definitely can be done.
Your face while waiting on phone😂 thats me at work everyday😂 answering phones 😃 lol
“...and I wouldn’t pay... yeah, I would pay less!” 😂😂😂
Lol caught myself!
Thank you
Thank your for sharing
Of course!!
once you go above 3.5" there are other things that need to be done to correct the geometry of the jeep. Also, once you go above 35" tires you need to regear and get a heavier duty driveshaft and axles if you're going off road.
Great insight!
Whats your opinion on 2.5 vs 3.0 inch lift kits?
New subbie 😁
Welcome to the channel!
much needed video on RUclips
Thanks Gabriel!
I bought a simple coil swap and an add-a-leaf for my truck and the lowest quote I got was 680, highest 800. I instead bought the tools and did it myself for way less.
I'm interested in putting 24×14 on mine. 37 inch tires with a 3 inch lift kit. How do you feel about that? Would that work?
I have a 2022 jeep gladiator sport s I want to put 35x12.5 on 20x17 rims. What's your suggestion on the type of lift I should get and still get the smooth factory ride that I have now ...thank you
currently have a f150 with a 6” lift on 36’s and i’m going to college next year and need something with better mpg. i just saw your video on the black jeep, what was your mpg with a 2.5” lift on 35’s?
My guess is 15 with a jk 17 with jl
I was the first one here! Love IT!
Looks like you tied 😂
Ok
Hello, I love your tires and wheels. Please can you tell me how much they cost.
I have 33x12.5R20 tires. The front of my truck measures 43 inches. How much would it be lifted?
Hey nice video !
I have a 2020 JL 4dr wondering how much it will cost to lift 2" and can it go well with 35 tire and 18×9 tires ?
yes it can and 199 for lift like 2-4 hundred for install of lift.
I have a jk. How much was your whole set up. With lift kit and wheels with rims?
Sick Jeep. Could you tell me what shop installed your kit?
If you look killercupcake_9, he'll get you taken care of. Or edson_andalon.
Good info. Just wondering about the sluggishness I hear running tires over the 33 inch mark. Did you have to change yours up for the 35 or 37's?
instablaster.
Gears yes mandatory
So getting a Rubicon would be a waste if money if someone gets a 4 inch lift correct? Cuz you'd be replacing the coils n suspension anyway, correct?
Did you keep the spare? If not, cap it and have the cap sanded and painted silver at the same time you do the mirrors. Starting to look like a G500.
Yeah I have the spare, I just have to change my tire carrier so it'll clear my bumper with the 37's, I'm also upgrading my hinges.
Rough country back ordered about 10 weeks right now. No way I’m waiting another 2.5 months when my wheels and tires just came in today. So I downgraded and bought a super lift 4 inch lift today
What is the wheel set up(specs) you have on the Jeep @3:12
Can a jeep fit in a city car garage with a 4” lift and 37s?
Love the jeep vids I was wondering about the Harley you gonna make content with it or would you be interested in selling it
Thank you! Ended up selling it to help out with my home remodel
Right on that was badass bike
Does your Jeeo fit in your garage?
hey Dan, can you let me know where in Phoenix/AZ you got your fenders color matched on your previous Jeep? Please and thank you!

@@danrockwell1883 thanks so much you are the best!
What about on a 2021 Gladiator overland. I'm looking to purchase one I'm a daily driver wanna smooth ride no off road in just want some 35 with some deep dish wheels
I’m neurodivergent and was having the worst time figuring this out … thanks so much
What about the 4" lift that they offer that does not come with the long arm extensions... its like $550. If you are not an off roader but still want the height and ability to do the 38" tires. Is this a good option or no?
That’s the way to do it
Did you change the gears or anything else to make this all function correctly?
That’s a whole other video but no running stock right now.
I'm planning on going with 22x12 wheels with a 2.5 lift,I was just wondering if I would have to regear with that set up or not 🤔
depends on the tire too. I mean you could go 37’s and not re-gear but if you’re going to have it for awhile and want to do any off-roading you may want to. I didn’t off road or do anything crazy with it so I didn’t
@@danrockwell1883 I'm looking at 35's,no off-roading lol Thanks for replying
@@GeoCog oh yeah, you’ll be fine then!
How’s the mpg for the jeep now? What’s your average and on the highway?
Not sure exactly, my guess 14/18
Could anyone confirm this is applicable for the JT as well? Please and thank you!
JT and JL are practically the same there’s a small bit of difference that cause the JT kit to cost a bit more but not much JT is a JL with the trunk cut off and a 5foot bed installed and rear axle moved back a bit other than that their carbon copies of each other
Is that US price or Canadian?
On a 4" rough country long arm lift did u ever get the passenger side sag mine did change coils out twice and did it ever time
Dang, no that never happened. I did get death wobbles from time to time though
Hey Dan other than installing a 4in suspension lift kit, did you have to add any other parts do get the 4in lift on your Jeep to fit properly?
Drive shafts
You didn't mention re-gearing, did you do all of that? Sorry if that is a silly question. I have a 2016 JKU Rubi
Not silly at all and no I didn't re-gear. It's riding fine right now, it's recommended to do so but Im cheap haha so as long as I'm not having any issues I'm sticking with that. A rubi has a better gear ratio for big tires I believe, you may be in a better situation that mine actually.
@@danrockwell1883 ok thanks Dan, I appreciate it!
What’s the name of the shop in Phx? need to get an estimate from yhem
What's the bumper the heights
Hi I don’t find the 2.5 jk lift kit with shocks that you mentioned for 450 the link is for jl
Let me take a look

Hey Dan , just a quick question buddy i have a rubicon right now and i’m also wondering to put a 37 inch tire and 22 inch wheel and same 4 inch lift .. but where i’m living underground parking says 6,8inch clearance.. So just wanna know with your current setup on jeep whst is the height or jeep ? So if I installed all these would it be okay for my parking ?
cutting it close man but mine is under 6'8 for sure!
I got 35x15.50 r22 and 2.5inch lift its now 6’6 lol but my jeep color also silver same like yours .. next target is hood , fender , bumper and grill ...
Thanks :)
I love your wheels! Whats the brand?
Thank you! XF Offroad
I was looking at RC but everyone has negative comments and that the shocks don’t last long rides rough. I was steering towards a mopar kit. How is your kit putting up.
Holding up great. For the money I think they’re the best, I’ve never had an issue with them thus far
Rc or if you have a sport you can find someone who has upgraded their Rubicon and buy the Rubicon takeoff parts and get a 2 inch lift that way
All Gen X are thinking Why would I pay someone to replace Parts that fit easily and have instruction videos!!?? Kids these days…
Did you have to get steer stabilizer?
No I didn't. steers fine
Like your jeep! Did you have to change to the gearing?
I currently have a JL. I'm running the 4 inch lift with 35. If he is not change the gearing it's a complete dog. I don't understand how this is never talked about on any of these videos. I have a 6-speed manual and it is the most underpowered vehicle I've ever driven.
Adding 35s to a 2010 jk do I need to upgrade the gears or can I run it stock
As long as you don’t go crazy you should be fine. I never did but I’m really easy driving
$59.95 for an alignment?! Crazy deal
So you don’t need track bars or control arms with the 2.5 inch?
No
I have 2020 sahara i want put tires 35 12.50 18,my question is i need do any modifications on the jeep?
Throw a 2.5 inch rough country spacer lift in. They’re like $300, I’ve made several videos about it. You’ll love it
I'm new to the Jeep community and unfortunately there's no clubs around my area. I have a 2022 wrangler, I have 2in rough country spacers on it. I just recently came up on some 24s rims and tires I could not turn down. 375/40r/24 what size lift kit should I bell shopping for? Also from your experience so you think I'll have to shave anything down? I'm really clueless on this I just want a cool looking jeep. If you or anyone in this chat can help I'd appreciate it.
How does it drive with just the 2 inch spacers?
@c0mmand0brand0 it drives great.. no issues I've encountered..just feels more like a truck then with the stock rims..
@@YshunFields Awesome. Thanks!
What size rims and tires? 🤔 might do the same with my Jeep but with a 3 inch
22x37
@@danrockwell1883 would 35s look to small on 22
Debating on selling my stock 04TJ and looking at a JL. Yours looks good! For the hood go with a Rubicon type hood, cleaner lines.
Nice! I think you'll love it! I'm going with the DV8 Hood, have you seen those? so awesome.
Still got it
@@lucascrandall5737 nope sold it; but do miss it.
Do you need to re-gear with the 37’s?
Yes
I'm not looking to go big I want a 2 and 1/2-in lift I have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler unlimited Sahara what would that cost
Rough country 500 installed
I know this is a comment totally unrelated to this video, but... do you still have the Harley?
No I sold it for some of my house renovations. I miss it :/
How would 35’s do with a 3.5in lift ig you kno?
if*
That’d be a good a good set up. You could save a lot of money and do a 2.5 lift. That would work for 35’s
Gotta love mall crawlers.
Got to! 💯
👍😘😘😘😘
ill put your kit fot 100$. just get the kit and bring beer.
Dang I wish I knew that back when I did this 😂
What size can fit under stock jeep that won’t rub
33,s on a JL Sport,Sahara, 35,s on a Rubicon.
@@williamheinsinger7390 thanks
I got quoted for a mopar lift kit for 5k at the dealership🥲
RUN
bro you finally got a new jeep?
Finally!
Im in numerous jeep groups, and it is widely stated ad nauseum that RC lifts are bottom of the barrel cheap junk. Yet you say that is all you put on your jeeps, interesting. Ive been researching and it looks like the RC kits are missing key components like track bars, control arms etc.
I think for the price they’re the best. Im a daily driver guy so barely take it off-roading. This is my third lift and I’ve never had an issue with them. I think it’s worth paying less than 1/2 off
But will he respond to THIS comment 🤔 haha great video 👌
You said 35 but what size rim?
These are 37s” on 22s”
@@danrockwell1883 👌 Thanks
First
4” is plenty
I agree!
RC cheap ride & quelity if you want to go for the best get teraflex or king .
Rough Country will get you room for bigger tires but that’s about it. I wouldn’t buy a paper weight from them. They’d somehow manage to mess that up. Sadly, I’ve bought thousands of dollars worth of their junk and know what I’m talking about.
Rough Country is the Walmart Great Value brand for Jeeps though. Look, even your Jeep's face is angry that it got stuck with Rough Country products! :D Sorry, I shouldn't make fun but oh well, you'll be fine.
Omg I found the mall crawler fanbase
Prefer pavement princess. Im a cheap ass, hate the mall 😂
What is your length ya hight bro please tell me you are very handsome
Maybe 6+ foot I think
6'0" lol
Only time I’d recommend a rough country lift is if you can’t afford a better quality lift their cheap because of their low quality and crap ride quality I’d always recommend saving up more money and getting higher quality lift anything to do with suspension, engine, or drivetrain should not be done cheaply those are major safety issues I also don’t recommend wheel spacers get a wheel with a good offset the number of times I’ve seen wheel spacers fail is astounding and deadly at highway speeds I’ve seen rough country lifts that have been on a vehicle for a week and failed sure wouldn’t want that at highway speeds also why didn’t you touch on larger brakes with the larger lifts and tires seems pretty important to be able to stop when you need to the only decent information anyone should take from this video would the estimates for a shop to install the lift.
You need more tire and less rims if you want to go off road. Clearly this guy doesn’t go off-roading. His tire and rim selection is for street. When you go off-roading, you deflate your tire for traction and comfort. You don’t want to have big rims and low profile tires like he has. Only if your mall crawling
I think most people with any common sense knows that. It was for the streets for sure!
Too bad RC has a lot of bad reviews from local suspension installers
I’ve had 3 with no issues. Just can’t beat the price
Rough Country isn';t the best, as far as lift kits. The likes of Teraflex, Metalcloak, Procomp, Icon Dynamics, Rubicon Express to name a few are way better overall...
and thats coming from my JK 2016 which I have a rough country 2 inch lift. Recently just added 1 inch coil spacer (teraflex) and a 1.25 inch body lift (teraflex). I will be doing a whole overhaul of my suspension with either, Teraflex or Icon Dynamics, with fox shocks or Falcon shocks
Best for the price though? Hard to beat the price and their quality has went up especially over the past few years or so
Hell yeah though, congrats on that. That’ll be awesome!!
@@danrockwell1883 Yeah I agree, for the price, hell yeah its nice. But for the long haul and quality I'd go with something else. I will admit though, my rough country suspension lift has held up. 2 years now. but i have been in other jeeps with other suspension lifts (my brother and friends) and it rides way smoother and firm through trails and offroad.
Please don’t offer people to use rough country they are not good!
I’ve put 3 in and have had no issues
What’s the difference between this set up and something from TeraFlex?
😂😂😂 I totally had to stop watching as soon as you mentioned rough country. If you were joking with the intro then it's my bad but if you were not joking then I'm glad I left in the first 5 seconds. The biggest joke of the month right here fellas🗑️
Immediately stopped watching at 1:15 after seeing the angry grille. Any credibility went out the window lol. 😂
Def lost me when you said rough is the only kits you put on your jeeps.. ok 💩
Rough country lift sucks brotha
Best bang for your buck, I've had 3 and never had a problem with them, easy install too.
Mall Crawler
How original
Why would anyone put large wheels and low profile tires on a Jeep Wrangler? You just ruined it's off-road capability, so you might as well drive a Corvette.
22s on 37’s isn’t low profile but yes I’m definitely not maximizing its off-road capabilities, I just like the look and being I don’t off-road really, it worked for me.
Very nice.
