Looking for information/experience with the RSO 2.5” lift

[88sporty]

Like the title states I’m interested in picking up the RSO 2.5” lift kit with their 2.5 piggybacks and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them? I’m having difficulty pulling any reviews in all the searching I’ve been doing.

Yea that’s my concern, the price is right and they seem to make decent components I just can’t find a single real review anywhere.

Looks like a clayton ride-right with some nice shocks.

Never heard of that company making parts for jeeps, so that may have something to do with it or this is their first foray into jeep lifts?

I just posted this reply on Reddit but reposting it here as well in case anyone on the forum and not in Reddit cares …

“Honestly I’d never heard of this company and kits until this post. Even though they are based in my area. When I searched it online this post and your post in the Jeep Gladiator forum are the only mentions I see of it. That could mean that the kit is still new enough that it hasn’t reached a point where people are ready to review it or not many people have bought it. I did find the company mentioned on the BBB website stating they are NOT BBB accredited and have three complaints against them of failing rusting components that then turn out to be no longer manufactured which then leads to cheaper replacement parts with little to now compensation for the money lost on the original purchase. And the customer service is made to appear absolute shit with long drawn out headaches and hurdles. Honestly I’d avoid it until more info comes out or they disappear and you’ll know it was the right choice to avoid it. Keep shopping or just wait a bit longer so you can afford the next price range up from where you’re looking. Personally where this is priced I’d choose the Metalcloak kit all day long. Shit even the Mopar lift kit is solid. Good luck!

Never heard of them. I wouldn't take the chance.

Seems like people around here don’t like gambling with $3-4k, noted

I know, I know… I’m resurrecting and old post. Whatever.

My Gladiator Mojave is in the shop right now and the owner is letting me use one of his rental Jeeps, which just so happens to be equipped with RSO Suspension remote reservoir shocks, 2.5inch (?) springs, and front lower control arms.

With the shocks on the softest setting, it rides like a brick (incredibly worse than factory or Rough Country). With the shocks dialed up, it rides like a pogo stick.

100% absolutely positively do not purchase RSO Suspension. Especially if you have any teeth fillings. They will fall out.
