Rough Country 3in Series II Suspension Lift Kit Reviews

Good quality product, but it would’ve been nice to know that I needed the extended brake lines because the rear brake line wouldn’t even hook up and I would’ve waited to put it on until I had those in hand. I would’ve also ordered the transfer case drop kit too for my application.

Questions

What is the interior width of the u-bolts in this kit?

3 inch lift jeep cherokee xj

This kit comes with two u-bolts sets, a pair of 3" I.D and 2.75" I.D. That will cover the Dana 35 and Chrysler 8.25 rear axles. Thank you for the question.

Do I need to replace my driveshaft for this lift on a 99 XJ? What additional parts do I need to consider installing this lift?

Caused by excessive angle on the transfer case slip yoke. Very common on vehicles with 2” or more of lift. Lifts of 2”-3.5” can sometimes be cured with a transfer case drop kit (pinion adjustment may also be required- see acceleration and deceleration vibration troubleshooting above). If this does not cure it, it will likely require installing a slip yoke eliminator (SYE) kit and CV drive shaft. Adjust pinion so it is 2 degrees below parallel with CV drive shaft (see acceleration and deceleration vibration troubleshooting above). A transfer case drop kit can usually be omitted with a CV drive shaft. Thanks for your inquiry.

I'm confused on this product. Is it a 3 inch or 4.5 inch. I want just a 3 inch with leaf springs and what tire size will I be able to use. If you can help that would be great

Both options provide 3 inches of lift and Rough Country says they clear 31 x 10.50 with -19mm offset which is 3.75 inch on backspace on an 8" wide wheel. Thanks for your inquiry.
