Style: N3 Shocks - Add-a-Leaf Springs
This is a great kit for your DIY beginner. Very simple to install in your drive way with simple tools, and a friend. You can even build off this kit and go bigger with a few extra simple parts. Still run your stock track bar but if you add spacers to this, you will need to get an adjustable track bar like I did. I would also recommend new brake lines. My driver side one was maxed out on a full right turn. I didn't use the add a leafs. Instead I opted to buy new springs instead. Easier and faster install. Otherwise this is a great kit and rides about stock. I fit 31x10.50x15 on my stock rims without an issue. Slight rub on full turn on lower control arm but that's to be expected.

I've had this installed for months now and had zero issues. Looks great, and if you're not doing crazy offroading I think it's a solid option. No big problems with the install, and everything seemed well made. I did put the drop spacers on it as well to be safe, and I've gotten 0 vibration or etc

Item is exactly as described. Great product from Rough Country. Had an issue with one of the leaf springs and they send a new one for free after sending some pictures. Customer Service person was great from Rough Country. Might want to get new mounting bolts for the leaf springs, these do not come with kit. Good Luck with you rusty Jeeps everyone

I purchased and installed the kit about 3 months ago and so far everything is running smoothly. As for the install it was anything but smooth. My 2000 XJ had everything just about rust welded together and finding spare bolts or nuts is no easy task without it costing an arm and a leg from the manufacturer. But besides fighting the rust once everything was off the install was easy. In my case I did have to do a transfer case drop with the Rough Country 1 in spacers (Might as well add to cart until you purchase a SYE). Currently only two are on because I sheered the studs in the front and have not been able to get them out. The Rough Country steering stabilizer was another purchase as my previous one was 25 years old and doing absolutely nothing on the vehicle. It has also been great thus far. My only complaint is that the shocks do squeak a little on some turns. At first I thought it was just from them being new but after 3 months it still hasn't gone away. The only other thing is that it is really stiff. Off road on gravel/dirt/sand/mud it has handled well but haven't been anywhere to test it to the limit. All in all I would say well worth for a budget kit. Just make sure you do something about your transfer case to prevent rapid wear and tear on U-joints and your drivetrain. **UPDATE** After a year still impressed with the kit. A little stiff on rutted out roads but handles well over rocky terrain. All the bushings are still surprisingly well. Have had the front springs settle a little and the rears stay strong so it does sit almost an inch lower in the front.

I have a 95 xj and wanted to get some more ground clearance and this was a great fit. Easy install for my first suspension lift I’ve done. I would suggest to anyone to start lubricating all the bolts and nuts on your XJ the moment you order this kit. It says it will clear 31” tires and that may be the case with some but I did have to do some fender trimming on mine. I’m running 31x10.50 r15 tires with a 15 inch rim -33 offset and a 4” backspacing.

Great kit for my 2000 xj limited. Added a 3/4 spacer above the springs in front and it sits perfectly level. Rides better. Pro tip out the axle side on first when installing the lower control arms then ratchet straps to align the body side.

Style: N3 Shocks - Add-a-Leaf Springs
Here's my long, painful review of the disappointing Rough Country 3" lift kit with the full leaf springs option (I purchased the full leaf spring kit directly from Rough Country) and their N3 shocks. I installed this on my bone stock 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ Sport. The Rough Country kit is supposed to come with front coils springs, rear leaf spring assemblies, front and rear shocks, lower control arms, upper sway bar link spacer blocks and rear axle U bolts*. It does not include bump stops, sway bar links, brake line extensions or brackets, shackles or an adjustable trackbar. It's marketed as a budget friendly 3" lift kit. Installation: I did this alone with a floor jack and jack stands in my garage. Installation of the front end components was straight forward. I don't have a strut compressor, and it was pretty much impossible to install the front coil springs without that tool, so I completely dropped the front axle to get the springs installed. Realigning everything was a pretty big pain, but I got it together with little drama. The rear end was a different story. After installing the rear leaf springs, I went to install the upper leaf spring plates and realized that the RC leaf spring retaining bolt and nut were larger in diameter than the stock leaf plate center hole. So I had to drill those plate center holes out to 3/4" to make them fit. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if that info was included in the documentation so you could be prepared with all necessary tools. Then I realized that the Rough Country tapered lower leaf spring shims tips the rear differential towards the ceiling at a ridiculous angle. I can't imagine driving at more than 25 MPH like that, as it created a drastic pinion angle mismatch. In an effort to correct this problem, I reversed the leaf spring shims so that the skinny, tapered end was at the rear, instead of at the front the way RC mistakenly installs them. It's drivable this way but it will still require a transfer case drop kit and custom leaf spring shims to get the pinion angle anywhere near where it needs to be. But it goes to show how little R&D and real world testing (none?) went into this setup, apparently. Post install: In addition to the Rough Country lift, I also installed 15x8 aluminum wheels with 3.75 backspacing and 31x10.5x15 tires. After a short break in period, I took the vehicle in for an alignment. No major issues there, other than needing an adjustable track bar to center the axle (again, not included in the lift kit). Now here's where it gets really, really bad. Be prepared for an absolute freakin' beating. This kit resulted in a brutally stiff, punishing ride. The spring rates for the coil springs and leaf springs are far too stiff for the weight of the XJ. Maybe if you have front and rear steel bumpers, a winch, skid plates, body armor, a rooftop tent, an onboard compressor, onboard water, a years worth of MREs and 50 sandbags in the back, it would be ok. The shock valving is incredibly stiff on the compression stroke, not moving anywhere near fast enough. Around town, every ripple in the pavement was transmitted to my spine and teeth. Parking lot speed bumps were torture. Hitting potholes made it feel like the axles might get ripped away. I'm not exaggerating, it really is that bad. I'm running C-rated tires, so not overly stiff sidewalls. Off-road was worse. You definitely don't want to hit the dirt with this kit. I did a couple of fire road runs and it was a bone-crunching ordeal, even with the tires aired down a bit. I REALLY hope you have frame stiffeners installed and a very healthy unibody if you're going to run this suspension on your Cherokee. Other notes: The U bolts and nuts that were supposed to be included with this kit were missing. The kit does not lift the vehicle enough the clear 30.5" tires (actual diameter). Fender flare trimming is still necessary. Rough Country's Youtube installation videos shows them installing this lift kit with no lube, no anti-seize and no torque wrench (Hit it bone dry with the impact gun to install those nuts and bolts, Jimmy!), so these things alone should be an indicator of where these guys are coming from. I tried to contact Rough Country multiple times about all of these issues, providing them detailed descriptions of the problems and defects. After two months of waiting, here was their reply: <crickets> They chose not to respond at all. In conclusion, this kit was missing parts. Their "product development" team seemingly has no input from any engineer or from anyone who has a basic understanding of driveline geometry. Apparently no knowledge of spring rates or shock compression and rebound requirements either. To top it off, their customer support and tech support is completely non-existent. I have nearly $800 into this "budget" lift kit and I can't wait to remove it and replace it with something that actually works. Use this information as you will, and I hope you have better luck if you choose to do business with Rough Country.
