I'm (at this minute) balls deep into removing a 2.5" Rough Country spacer lift from a 2016 JKU.
While it's worked perfectly for the almost 3 years it's been in this vehicle, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE living where there is snow/salt. Every piece of this kit is taking 3x as long to remove as it took to install, because every piece of hardware is rusted to shit. There are nuts above the frame spring perches in the rear that hold the spacers in above the coils- installing them, you just have to reach around and hold the nuts in place with 2 fingers while you tighten the bolts from underneath. Removing them? Oh man. PB Blaster, can't fit a wrench in there, impact gun from underneath does nothing, this is terrible. 
If you live somewhere arid, or will never be removing/upgrading a lift kit, disregard. But if you live in the rust belt, DO NOT buy any lift kit without stainless hardware and quality powder coated parts. I cheaped out and now I'm on a time crunch and I'm kicking myself with regret. My whole 4th of July weekend has been spent fighting this garbage. [edit: pic thread]

Took the wife’s JKUR up to TN to do jeep stuff with a local club. A fun day of riding (no damage other than some scraped up wheels) and $1000 raised for A Soldier’s Child Foundation.

That's great. We're looking at around this time of year, and considering doing exactly what you guys did. I'm much more interested in Colorado than I am Utah, but since we'll be driving 3-4 days to get there, we might as well do both.
I like the camping setup |

I'm running 315/70-17, which measure right at 34 inches mounted on the vehicle. Four of them balanced using 3-4 ounces of weight and the fifth using right around 6 ounces. I have a feeling the fifth would balance better if the dot on the tire was properly aligned with the valve stem. I bought them through Discount Tire and will have them rebalanced soon. |

Just took a leap into the Jeep world for the first time. Always wanted one but never pulled the trigger. My daughter is starting to drive and really likes Jeeps, so we picked this up. I figure she can drive it for a couple years, then if she doesn't wreck it she can get something new and I'll have a toy to mod.
97 TJ with the 4.0 / 5 speed. It needs a little work. The exhaust is shot and someone removed the cat and downstream O2 sensor, so it's throwing a code. Ordered a whole new exhaust from the Manifold back from Rock Auto, plus new O2 sensors. Only other thing really wrong is the passenger side front fender got bent up, but replacements are cheap. Otherwise the body is in great shape. No rust, the frame and underside of the tub still have factory paint. Not a fan of the cheesy diamond plate fender protectors. They're pop riveted on, so I'm thinking about drilling out the rivets, filling the holes, and hitting it with some touchup paint. I'm a little worried what I'll find underneath, though. Maybe I'll just paint them black since they're all oxidized anyway.

Nice looking rig, but that diamond plate isn't used to protect anything other than the rust under it - usually. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mustb123:

Yeah, I found out a couple of rivets were loose on one side so I was able to peel it back a little. Rusted all the way through. Not too surprising. Maybe I'll just spring for two all new fenders. Or maybe I'll just let it be for a while. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By alemonkey:
