Reviews for Rubicon Express RE7141M 2.5" Budget Boost Coil Suspension System with Monotube Shocks for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door
Installed this kit on my 2015 Rubicon 4dr and I love it. I measured from the bottom of the diff covers before and after before it was 9" from the ground to the bottom of the diff covers, after it was installed I re-measured and it's now 11" to the bottom of the diff covers. three weeks after I put on a friend and went to Moab what a difference in ride and handling if I can figure how how to add a photo I'll post a couple photos. One nice thing it got rid of that front end rake. Glad I put this kit on my rig.
Great lift. Just installed it a few days ago. Took about 8 hours to do it by myself with jack stands in my garage, but most of that time was me going slow along with installing additional items. Also, my Jeep is a 2014 and I live in a state that LOVES using salt on the roads. Makes for some nice rusty bolts. Taking off the front shocks is TERRIBLE. luckily the drivers side broke fairly early but the passenger side I fought for almost 2 hours, and I did start spraying bolts with penetrating oil three days prior. The track bar relocation bracket is updated, and no longer looks exactly like pictured. I was in contact with RE and the confirmed this to be true. I also had to drill it out quite a bit to make it fit and it is some hard material.. Overall I think the ride quality has improved, my old shocks were about shot, and the stock coil springs look like cheap junk compared to the ones in this kit. It is fairly stiff, but defiantly more controlled. I expect it to smooth out over time.
Tip for getting the track bars reattached (made install easier in the front to detach from axle): Use a ratchet strap to ease it into place, use a screwdriver to align it in the hole.
Great kit! 2nd time I have purchased.
Completely happy and impressed! It's well worth the money. Great ride and handling
Very happy with this lift. Other reviews complain about stiff ride but I had a 1 ton Dodge prior. Trust me, it's not too stiff plus...it's a Jeep
Great product. Great ride and handling after installation.
Very smooth ride and easy to install, love the look of my jeep now.
BEST LIFT KIT YOU CAN GET AND PRICED RIGHT TOO
installed 3 years ago. rides great and has held up well. a few things had to "messaged" a bit during install was the only draw back.
I completed this install myself, and I am not exactly a mechanic. -1 star for the relocation bracket not being easy to install at all. I do recommend a brake line relocation kit, because when a garage lifts the vehicle it really stretches the brake lines to almost dangerous levels. Also as a lesson learned, if you are purchasing tires and wheels to go with this change, put your old tires and wheels back on to test the ride of the lift before making all the changes at once. This will help if you are getting a rough ride and you are not sure if it is the new tires or wheels or lift. Also of course immediately go and get an alignment after the install. Overall this lift changes everything about the look of the jeep and it is a great product for the money.
