About this kit
3.25-Inch Lift Kit with N3 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 642.20 is a 3.25-inch lift kit for the 1997–2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4WD in Sport, Sahara, and X trims. The kit pairs N3 shocks with 6-cylinder TJ coil springs and opens up room for tires as large as 33 inches. It does not fit 4-cylinder models.
This 3.25-inch lift kit for the 1997–2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4WD bolts on without cutting or welding, raising the front to sit level with the rear while adding undercarriage clearance. The box holds N3 shocks matched to the TJ platform plus 6-cylinder coil springs, and a rear track bar bracket keeps the axle centered. Check your engine first: 4-cylinder Wranglers are excluded. If you run larger-than-stock tires on factory wheels, the tire can touch the lower control arm at full lock, so aftermarket wheels are the safer choice. A downloadable installation guide is available.
