A Slip Yoke Eliminator with CV Driveshaft is recommended to avoid driveline vibration. Rubicon models do not need a SYE kit or transfer case drop but a CV driveshaft is still recommended. Exhaust will have to be cut and rerouted to make sure it is away from the moving components. Fitment on this page is based on the manufacturer’s application data.

About this kit

6-Inch Lift Kit with M1 Shocks, fitment-checked

Rough Country 65940 is a 6-inch lift kit for the 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4WD, covering SE, Sport, X, Sahara, Rubicon, and 65th Anniversary Edition. The kit ships with 6-inch coils, forged front and rear adjustable track bars, rear shock relocation brackets, and two M1 monotube shock pairs. It does not fit Unlimited models.

This 6-inch lift kit for the 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4WD pairs long arms with high-clearance lower control arms for articulation and obstacle clearance. Upper and lower arms use OEM-style rubber bushings plus flex joints with a 2.5 in body and 1.25 in thread, pivoting up to 20 degrees at the top and 35 degrees at the bottom. The forged track bars are sized for 4-6 in of front lift and 2.5-6 in at the rear. Plan on cutting and rerouting the exhaust away from moving suspension parts, and read the driveline notes before ordering.
