Rough Country2.5" Lift Kit for 2011-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2-60300

Couldn't be happier with my purchase!

So far I have had a good experience with this item. It does exactly what it says. Lift and level. The ride quality stayed the same as well aside from the obvious tire tread difference. Installation was simple from what shop told me. Install + alignment was about $550. This may help anyone gauge price to do the work. Anything over 600 I would say is too much. I had a performance shop do it because they are no stranger to figuring things out with aftermarket parts. They had to use a ratchet straps to pull the wheels into alignment. Also, I'm running 33x12.5x20 ridge grappler tires on a 9x20 wheel. Only modification needed to wheel well was to fold over the pinch weld and pull back cloth liner to remove the slack. Here's the important part for anyone trying to run 33s..... GET YOUR OFFSET RIGHT! haha. That's important and I researched for 1 month. No one has any real info online for this vehicle. Just forums with people arguing. I have a +30 offset wheel which allows the 33 to fit. RC claims a +38 offset needs no modifications at all with an 11.5 wide tire. I wanted a small aggressive poke on the sides and a wider footprint tire. If you want 33s and a lower offset or perhaps a 0 or - offset, be prepared to chop the fender outside liner up and you'll look crappy.

Honestly a really great product that does exactly what it’s supposed to. Was able to fit 33’s underneath just as advertised. Be aware you will have to do a pinch weld fold over to allow the tires to fit and not rub. Rough country gives specs on which tire/wheel size to go with to prevent rubbing, etc. I wanted a small aggressive poke out the sides so I went with a wider 12.5” tire. If that’s the route you’re going, get the offset right!! The stance on my Jeep is amazing and I loved how it turned out but if you wanted to push those tires further out with a lesser offset wheel or wheel spacers just know you may have to trim the inner fender a bit which may not look pretty. Also in terms of installation, definitely not a product for the amateur. Look around your area and do some research on who can do it for a good price. I wouldn’t recommend spending more than $500-$600 for somebody to install these things. Expensive doesn’t necessarily mean a better end product. Read reviews, call around and you will find the right guy for the job!

Strut spacers are plastic instead of metalHopefully the plastic spacers hold up it is a bunch of labor to install this kit.

Wifes Jeep Update: Pep Boys had my car for 4 days just for the fronts smh. I would HIGHLY recommend going to the RC website and finding an authorized dealer in your area to install. Had my back done by one of there dealers that are familiar with RC products and it was on in less than 2 hours for the rears! It was a but high for the kids so I had to install running boards, but I slapped some 33 tires on and I love my lift. Now I wish I went to a higher!Shipping was fast. Took it Pep Boys for installation and it's been there over 24 hours now going on 2 days. They are having issues putting on the back ones. So, dont know if at home installation is as easy as it says if the "professionals" with heavy duty machines are having a hard time smh. 2014 Grand Jeep Cherokee 4x4 Laredo.

This kit is ok. I got the Rough Country 2.5” lifted front Struts and those work great. I then installed this leveling kit for the rear with The Rough Country N3 Shocks, and it’s a bit more bouncy than the factory shocks. I may have duds, I don’t know. But this kit at least make the Jeep Grand Cherokee leveled and looks good.

Incomplete order. The box was missing the bolts for the front lifts

Had to pay a local shop $550 to install and took them about 4 hours. If you want to run stock rims you will need at least a 1/4” 5x5 spacer to run almost anything. The bolt from the control arm will lay on top of the tire if not. I tried 2 different tires and went with a 285/55/20 ridge grappler. Looks super clean in person but was a huge hassle to get them to fit. The lift also squeaks a good amount when I stop and go. Not noticeable to average person but if you are OCD like me it will drive you insane. Took it back to the local shop and they couldn’t find the problem. Overall it’s a good look but some things could defiantly be improved.
