So this kit has everything as far as hardware to lift a JK unlimited, I only ask because on the Rough Country page there is an option to buy shocks?

This does come with everything except shocks. Factory shocks will work with this kit. I did however buy the Bilstein 5100 shocks.

Yes it contains everything that you will need. I used this kit on my 2007 Unlimited and everything went together easily.

The kit comes with shock extensions. I recommend buying shocks for this lift especially if you going with bigger tires it will improve the driving capabilities. This kit looks good with 33x12.50 or equal tire size. With 35's it will defiantly rub. Also if you do go with bigger tires you will need hubsentric spacers of at least 1.5 in for clearance. And I think you can get those from rough country as well. Jeep on!

It does include everything needed for the kit instead of using shocks you will use shock extensions on this one

You use your factory shocks. The kit come with extentions. It rides fine with this kit. Mine always had a pull to it but a new rear track bar fixed it. But the pull was not bad and you don't need it to run this lift.

Hey,everything is included and the shocks are awesome. Hardest part of installation was removing the old shocks, after that it was a breeze! Also, picture doesn't indicate color, I received black ones

I have a 2014 JK with a 2.5" lift. My front and rear shocks are both 21" installed. Should have no problem with your needs. BTW, best shocks I've ever owned! Replaced some Rough Country shocks that made my Jeep ride like a tractor. Took about 2 weeks of adjusting the shocks and tire pressure to find the perfect mix.

They're just shocks they won't raise it any.You'll probably need an add-a-leaf for towing or an air bag system of some sort

No, they are sold separate. I didn't realize it when I ordered mine so I sent them back. I also ordered leaf springs, same thing. So I found a complete lift kit for 500 on eBay.

this kit comes with the lower control arm bushings pressed into the control arms, and of course the shocks have the bushings that you need to install. so the answer to your question is yes. everything is there to install what you see in the kit. I am very satisfied with the lift. easy to install on a lift, can install on the ground with jackstands. just read your directions and it will go smooth. I did it alone on jackstands. good luck!

I had them installed at Pep Boys. They offer a half off installion when you do any pair. Even if are not running teh special ask if they will install them under the promotional rate. They probably will.They had no problems at all. I was even able to use my original strut mounts as they were still in good shape. Have 5k on the full set and I have had no problems and the ride is as good if not better than the original shocks that dies at about 80k.

It well just not as desired especially the v6 model and the extra weight. Don't do it you'll ruin your shocks and have to replace everything maybe spending hundreds if u have someone doing it or maybe at the least 200 if u do it. These things are a joke. Buy quality with the spring already attached to the strut

The ones that I bought from them came with the bolts and everything that is needed or required to install. However, if you are going to do it yourself, it is highly recommended that you have someone help you with the installation because it can potentially be a bit challenging. Also do not forget to have lubricant for your bolts (ie. WD40 or related solutions). Hope all goes smooth and easy for you. I am sending you the video that showed me, how to replace the lifts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV86ZhJJ4OQ

Yes, much more durable metal components are available for gearing, diffs, suspension, etc. even for this small truck, as are better, more powerful motors. Go to the Redcat Racing site. What's there is impressive and very reasonably priced. There are also a couple of customer video on YouTube demo'ing the results of such upgrades.

Everything you need is in the kit. I just trimmed the tube the bolt goes through to make the shock fit tight against the bike.

That was for the pair . They are the best shocks I've ever used . The extra weight capacity they give is great ! Just what my truck needed .

Comes with everything you need. I installed it on a 2010 jeep wrangler no problem. i work at a jeep dealership and we regularly install this on stock jeeps to get rid of deathwobble, no lift required.

Like the others mentioned, the ride is just slightly stiffer which is good IMO. Handling is really unchanged and if you decide to use this or any kit that changes the center of gravity on you rig, just make sure you get the front end aligned.

I installed this kit on my wife's 1997 TJ and nothing else was required. The ride comfort actually improved because the shocks I removed were so worn out.

No but I would recommend new hd shocks and struts . To get the most out of your lift kit.

Oh also you will most likely half to go to fastenal to get 2 longer bolts. Cause with the shocks and all the bolts that came with it where not long enough. Only cost 3 dollars for both.
