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 V2 Shocks, fitment-checked
Rough Country 65970 is a 6-inch lift kit for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4WD, built around 6in coils, forged front and rear adjustable track bars, rear shock relocation brackets, and two V2 monotube shock pairs. It does not fit Unlimited models, and the exhaust has to be cut and rerouted clear of the moving suspension components.
This 6-inch lift kit for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4WD covers SE, Sport, X, Sahara, Rubicon, and 65th Anniversary Edition trims listed in the fitment section.
