2.5-Inch Lift Kit for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler 4WD

About this part

2.5-Inch Lift Kit, fitment-checked

Rough Country 653 is a 2.5-inch lift kit for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler 4WD models, including SE, Sport, Sahara, X, Rubicon, Unlimited, Unlimited Rubicon, and the 65th Anniversary Edition. It does not fit four-cylinder models. Aftermarket wheels are recommended, since stock wheels paired with oversized tires can let the tire touch the lower control arm at full steering lock.

This 2.5-inch lift kit for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler 4WD raises the Jeep on coil springs matched to the factory spring rate, opening up room for larger tires and adding ground clearance for rougher trails. Installation is bolt-on, with no welding or custom fabrication called for in the product data. Confirm your engine first: four-cylinder Wranglers are excluded. If you plan to run tires bigger than stock, plan on aftermarket wheels to keep the tire off the lower control arm at full turn. A downloadable Rough Country installation guide is available for this part.
