yeah I really like those evil twin low profile racks. The wife likes the factory rack but it’s useless. The safari racks are “too off roady” for her.

It looks like the rough country springs with extended brake lines, drop pitman, track bar relocation, and cheap shocks. For that money you have lots of options.

I have rough country springs. They are fine, but some people have had fitment issues. They are, well, rough, especially before you flex them out a lot.

I actually emailed them and the springs are from Mexico and she said she didn’t have the name of the company they come from. I’ve asked on here about this lift and no one answered.

Personally I would never go with rough country springs, and those look just like them. The springs are stiff, they are not tapered, and that price is high.

SkyJacker makes a great kit, though more expensive. Hell Creek makes good springs. BJ's Offroad also has lifts, but not sure who makes them these days. But they seem decently priced.

Yeah I don’t want tough country. I just thought that price was pretty good for the entire package. I add all the stuff to any other springs, like shocks and shackles and all, and it’s closer to 2k.

I believe that BJs springs are now made by Deaver.. A big performance spring company

So I just found the spring shackle reversal kits under the vendor section along with the blocks for the rear. The kit sold by rocklauren. I think that’s pair great with some new factory springs. Any reason to not recommend?

If you so a spring shackle kit you won't need blocks. It adds about 6 or so inches of lift. I have one of these on my rig along with a SOA in the front.

6 inches of lift is a little extreme for me, like I said. I think just new spring that aren’t sagging plus the shackle flip would give me three or four as it is.
