Un-lift a Rough Country lift

[Camaroboi13]

You could look up Moritz Jeep in Ft. Worth as they had 3-4 Rough Country rigs on the lot yesterday. Maybe they list exactly what’s in the package.

I tried but I couldn’t get past the 75,000 dollar sport model or the one with the 10,000 dollar Mojave X package ??

Lol. And of course the first thing they want to know is what it would take to get you in that truck which is where I want to give them my tele# and tell them when they put the crack pipe down to give me a call. ?

Thanks for the offer, but I'm in the far corner of Arkansas. It's a bit too far to drive.

I've got the same leftover parts that NGNERD mentioned and I'm in southeastern Oklahoma. Which corner of Arkansas?

Northwest - Fayetteville to be exact. Woo Pig Sooie!

I reread NGNERD's parts list and I actually have several he does not. They may not all be things you need unless you want to completely swap out your suspension to a Rubicon. Here is what I can remember off the top of my head. All parts are from a 2022 stock Rubicon and are no longer being used. Everything except the Fox shocks were on my JT for approx 16,000 miles and taken off when I installed a lift.

Front and rear track bars

Front and rear springs

Front and rear sway bar links

Front and rear upper and lower OEM control arms. Also have a set of the ¼” extended front lower control arms that come with the Mopar lift and will add a little caster.

OEM steering stabilizer

Front and rear Fox shocks taken off at approx 10,000 miles because they are softer than I like. I replaced them with Eibach Pro Truck shocks and those are available also.

That is all I can remember. Let me know if you are close to Oklahoma. I’m about two hours west of the Arkansas border. Looks like about 220 miles between us

Which far corner of Arkansas? I am in the NW part. You can try 479 Off-Road Service and Repair. I will bet they can at least give you some recommendations.

Thanks for the tip. I'm in fayetteville so Off-Road Service will work!

Based on what I'm seeing underneatch, I'm pretty sure this is the kit that was installed:

So, I'm guessing I'll need shocks, front track bar, and front/back sway bar links.

 

[YooperCracker]

I’m a little confused. Every Gladiator I’ve seen on dealer lots with the Rough Country package come with 37x12.5 R20’s. Yours came with 35’s?

I bought it used and I think the lift was installed by the original owner after the sale.

You don’t need to worry about the track bar for now, that one is adjustable so it will benefit you in the future.

Like I said earlier, shocks, end links, and you’re done. Make sure you remove the bump stops or you’ll be bottoming out with very little spring compression.

^ Got it. Thanks!

Thanks, IdleThunder!

De-lifted:

Looks more in balance to me. Plus, I swear I'm getting a 2 mpg increase.

It does look great and your mpg increase may be accurate. After installing the lift on mine it dropped about 2 mpg. Can you tell much difference in the ride now? I've heard a lot of negatives about RC lifts but never experianced it myself.

 

[Camaroboi13]

I lost about 2mpg with my lift as well, so that’s probably pretty accurate. I’ve had experience with RC stuff on my other vehicles. Specifically my WK2, which looked awesome when the lift went on and 6 months down the road it was sagging worse than stock and hitting bump stops on the highway. RC spacers I wouldn’t mind so much as it’s just a piece of metal, but anything having to do with their shocks and springs is a no go for me.

This is what you have, it's a leveling kit.

To take it out, you need 2 front shocks in stock length and 2 front sway bar end links in stock length. I would also advise removing the front bump stop extensions so you're not bottoming out on them.

The rear end wasn't lifted, so the shocks in the back should be a stock length.

It can be done by a couple of people in a driveway or garage in a few hours. Watch a few videos on installing a lift kit and pick the one you like best and have it spooled up as you do the work.

I think he already took care of it Kevin ??
