Rocky road combo lift kit/budget lift

What does anyone think about these lifts, I'd like to hear some feedback. Also are they worth the buy for Light Off-Roading duties. They are the RR combo and/or budget lift kit. Thanks!

I had the combo lift and had no problems. Only replaced it because I wanted more height.

Thanks FREEJEEP, I have an interest in the COMBO LIFT 2.125 I don't do alot of heavy off-roading, but I like the height advantage and will use it for light trails. Also is there anything else I'd have to do or watch out for with the suspension?

i got it on my rig now, along with the doetsch tech 8000 series shocks...it's done well for me off road when i've been off-road, handling is fine, manners are well...hasn't blown my front struts yet like most people have had happened. There is UCA contact and my UBJs have a small tear in them, I keep em greased up to hopefully prevent premature failure and b4 i get teh funds to get some of Al's A-arms and wheel spacers. I'm running 255/70/16 tires on 16x8" wheels too.

I just took my RRO OTT kit off and replaced it with a Frankenlift. Spend the money only one time and get a full suspension kit. Doesnt matter who makes it, just do it right the first time!!! I spent a lot of $$$ to fix the damage from the OTT. Get Als Arms for sure! Good luck :wink:

I've had the RRO Combo lift for almost 3 years now, and I've never had any trouble with it. I still think it's the best bang-for-the-buck lift for pre-lowered KJs.

You're lowered, though. If I were you I'd go with Rusty's suspension lift. Once you add in the struts and shocks, it's a really good deal, especially if you can talk them into selling it to you without their shocks so that you can get OME or Rancho shocks instead.

The best thing about Rusty's suspension lift (or the Frankenlift, if you can swing it) is that the front struts come assembled. Saves a lot of time and effort.

Stay away from the RRO Budget (OTT) lift kit.

I use the budget lift because I own a CRD but I haven't had a whole lot of trouble because the CRD is pre lowered.

Just to be clear...the combo lift works great, but stay away from the budget (aka OTT) lift if you like your struts.
