I have heard some bad things about Rough Country lifts. I just picked my jeep up a couple of days ago, It's bone stock look like the Rough Country might have been the cheap way to go but is it worth it? And is it better to go with spacers or the rims with the spacers built in? Thanks

I did 2 3/4 spacers on top of V8 front coils, and threw my I6 fronts to the rear. I redrill my front track and plan to get a bracket for rear till I have the dough for bars. Made my own shock extensions. Beware I have a horrible undrivable death wobble know. I also put a new front axel on so hoping after an alinement it will be gone. A quick lift can also mean trouble trust me
