I've got a 92 YJ with 31 inch tires and I want to lift it soon. I'm on a tight budget so i'm most likely looking into the rough country lifts. my problem is I don't know if I should go with the 2.5 inch lift or 4. I feel like the 2.5 might not be enough and the 4 would be too much. would appreciate some pictures so I can compare the two.
I like how much lift you have with the 2.5, I've heard from a few sources you can order the 4 inch kit but with the 2.5 springs, you get more, for almost the same price.
When you get ready to buy, be sure to contact some of the vendors on this site and call RC directly. At the time, Ryan at RC gave me the best deal, but others have done as well with vendors.

I paid RC $405 shipped for the lift, then I upgraded the shocks and added a steering stabilizer and sway bar disconnects. $476 total shipped with the jeepforum 10% discount.
I didn't check at the time, but I wonder what JeepAddOnsChris could sell it for if he sells RC lifts.

here is mine... just did a 2" BDS suspension lift and put on duratrac 31s. Im pretty sure i got over 2" of lift from the lift but i didnt measure anything... i still have to put on MORE 5/8" lift boom shackles. but you can get the idea lol.
Here's mine I have a 4" RC Lift, 2 Body Lift with 33's. with TJ flares and metal cut little more then an inch. Just bought my 8.8 once I get that installed Ill be adding a 1.5" Boomerang shackles and 35's with a SYE.
yeah thats the one I did last year after he got fed up with his rubi lol.....actually we took the tires and wheels of it and put others on it before it went bye bye
Alright, i've decided, since 33s aren't an option in the near future, just trying to salvage what gas economy I have ill be keeping the 31s and getting the 2.5 lift cuz it looks proper, doesn't dwarf the tires. And probably a half inch lift set of boom shackles, thanks for the help guys.
So I think the trend is to put a 2 - 2.5" for 31's, and 4" for 33's. Plumber, do you like your RE?? They are on sale now at 4wd.com. Looks like a complete kit. Any issues?

I have a 4cyl running 30's. I got the 2.5 rough country lift and it made a huge difference. one reason I later figured out is because your stock springs are sagging below what stock levels would be. Then you raise to stock then up the additional 2.5 inches. In short your Jeep will raise about 4 inches. Look at the thransfer case drop kit it is about $40. You will want this cause you will have some initial drive line vibrateion
Oh sorry I dont have a pic to post
You know this is the yj forum area right? But nice tj
