Any difference?? Are they both 2.5, or is the RR one a little lower??

I know coils would be ideal, but this is for my girlfriend who won't wheel it hard, and the new tires are going to be pricey. The severe beatings are reserved for my XJ! From what I've read around here it seems like the spacer lift (not the dreaded OTT lift) is not the best way to go but not bad either. Comments?? We're just going to run 255/70r16s...maybe a little trimming, hehe.

Also, cheapest/best place to buy this type of lift. Thanx!

I have the RR 2.1 inch lift and it really is only about 2 inches. I think its a good lift because you dont put too much preload on the front struts but you do get a good lift out of it. I just put 245/75 revos on mine and i really have no rubbing except for a little bit on the front left fender.... I think the cost for the RR lift is good also...

The RRO Combo lift is very good for the price. It is very easy on the struts and UBJ. It has a small strut insert and a top plate(hence:Combo).

DesertHorizons used to run one and really liked it.

Yes I used to run the Combo 2.125" and I was very happy with it..
on my '02 it allowed me to run 265/75 BFG MT's..

If you can do the install yourself you can save quite a bit of money, but you need a wall mounted strut compressor..

Do not try this with one of those cheap little rental strut compressor..

I had the lift installed for me and it took 4 hours for a guy that was in no hurry..

Definitely doing it myself...for my girlfriend. My best friend works at a shop down the street, and they have one of those strutt things on the wall. I wasn't very psyched about using those stupid rental things....they're mighty sketchy!
