Thanks for the control arm measurements 📐
No problem! Glad to help!
What an awesome finish, can’t wait to see what the next project will be.
Thanks to your video I can build my jeep. Thanks a lot.
Glad to help!
Can’t wait for the off road and topless videos!!
brandon54521 LOL!
Looking good 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Looks good nice
Thanks!
Hey! Love the video. Was wondering what the black plates was that you didn’t know what they where in the first video. I was hoping you used them or explained what they was. Just bought the kit and have no idea what they are. Thanks for your time!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Sorry it’s been a while since I made it but I’m pretty sure I ended up not using them either cause I couldn’t figure out what they were. Other than that it’s a really nice kit!
looks great!....am gonna get this kit from ET, also....luv see'n that Ol' feller in vid!.(beaglehound)...reminds me of my boy I had for 20.5 yrs..'Hopper' 😁...have a '15 Rubicon Hard Rock edition, did you have to replace front driveshaft? also, being this is a Rubi'....has electronic sway disconnect....will that be affect'd with this kit?....thanks!
Hey question after all these years, did the srpings sag, did the bushings wear out. Any issues ?
Hi, great video. Ask you what you think of XSeries RC Kit? After having tried it for a few months. I am thinking of XSeries Kit with Vertex Shocks for my Jeep JK 4 doors, but I feel very insecure because on the internet there are not very good evaluations in general about RC components, if you are not sponsored by RC I would love your evaluation and real personal experience with RC liftKit 4"
This kit is definitely worth it, very well built and heavy duty. Rides great on road and is good off road as well. You won’t regret it.
How did you know the measurements for the arms and front trackbar? Looks really good btw
All of the measurements were included in the instructions from rough country and they were all dead on when I installed them on the Jeep. In my opinion it’s definitely the best kit for the money!
Did you check to make sure the steering wheel was centered and did you have it re aligned afterwards?
I had to recently the steering wheel after the lift was on, I didn’t bring it to the alignment shop, all of the measurements checked out. Had 10k miles on it with perfect tire wear.
What bolt did you use when you installed the passenger front upper control arm? I cut mine like it said but I’m not sure which bolt to use
It was a while ago but I’m pretty sure it was a bolt that came with the kit.
How much would the shop charge me to do all the rattle can work you did on the under carriage?
No telling, I wouldn’t do it for less than $500 but that’s just me
Hey! Did the rings come with the Nemesis rims or did you have to buy them separately?
They came with them
I was wondering how tall my jack stands need to be. Also how high does your floor jack go?
I have a harbor freight jack that extends to 24”.
So the jack stand extend to 24"?
What did you paint your frame with? And what all did you have to do to give it that smooth finish? Thanks
Hello, I used a wire wheel and sanded the frame with 220 grit sand paper in the larger more visible areas. I used rustoleum semi gloss black on the frame and gloss black on the axles
It’s also in the part 1 video; 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rough Country 4" X-Series Short Arm Lift Kit Installation Part 1 th-cam.com/video/SrGIODZZn44/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!
I use same exact measurements but the rear is s big problem. Coil springs sag to the rear and passenger side hits rear track bar. Also sway bar links hit the axle housing holding rear upper control arm. I can tell the drive shaft is not aligned and now faces down instead of slight angle up facing direct to the transmission. Anyone with same problem
Very good video, however a very important element is the issue of the brake fluid, you do not explain how you do with the current fluid, by putting longer hoses if you must fill and as a thumb the lines to avoid air remaining inside the brake system . It is not just a matter of removing and fitting new hoses, it is very dangerous to leave the brake system failing.
Thanks for your comment, I can assure you the brakes were bled before it was driven, I just wasn’t able to get it on film.
What do you think of the Rough Country lift kit? I’ve been looking at the 3.5” kit but I always read so many comments by online “jeepers” that say don’t waist your money with Rough Country and others that say they love theirs.
I’m not a Moab rock crawler but rather a dirt road / water crossing Jeeper that likes to camp in mine. I also am not one to spend BIG CASH on other expensive lifts.
Do you like your Rough Country lift? Do you have any issues with it? Would you install it again?
I love the rough country lift on that Jeep, it’s the most complete for the money by far. A hem joint is a hem joint, there’s no reason to pay triple the price for some other fancy overpriced kit. It comes with absolutely everything you need except for the front driveshaft, I have a video on that as well.
Overall very good kit, rides well on and off road and also flexes very well. I love rough country and have put their stuff on many other vehicles as well. You can’t go wrong here.
Here’s a test video too. Good luck with your decision!

Rough country lift isn’t the best but it works. It’s just a little bit of a stiffer ride that’s all.
I've also been on the fence bout going with RC and honestly I'm pull the trigger on the X-Series. Every lift kit has it's flaws.
Did you not need the front shock relocation brackets? I just bought the same kit for my wife’s Jeep. The instructions aren’t %100 definitive 🤷♂️
If I remember correctly I’m pretty sure the instructions didn’t say anything about the shock relocation brackets. I didn’t put them on cause I didn’t see the need, put a lot of miles on road and off with no issues.
Which part corrects the angle of the coil springs up front?
The front doesn’t need them
@@9NailzGarage my Springs are pretty crooked when I first put them on. When do they straighten out?
@@ericalford6799 maybe your control arms aren’t adjusted correctly? Mine fit and looked just fine
@@9NailzGarage they seemed to be correct when I remeasured them. I don’t have any of the front steering components attached so hopefully that’ll angle the axle correctly
How have you enjoyed this lift?
I loved it, I still think this is the best suspension for the money. It rode and drove very well both on and off road, no issues at all till the day I sold it.
What size tires
They are 315 70 17 BFG KO2’s
@@9NailzGarage wow thanks for replying so fast, if you don’t mind i have a couple questions. how well did this lift allow you to flex? also i’m not sure how long it’s been on but have the springs sagged at all?
@@SuhM8 no problem! This was a great lift for the money, if flexed really well. We sold the Jeep about 3 months after installing it, so can’t comment on the sag. Here’s a video, we flexed it pretty good! th-cam.com/video/Ny_pI4_b4l0/w-d-xo.html
Tires to small for that much of a lift
You're right 37's would look good, just didnt want to regear.
@@9NailzGarage atleast some 35s
@@9NailzGarage tires look good man. There will always be someone saying something negative.
