Rocky Road 2.25" Lift

[Sal-XK]

I believe the most popular lift right now for the XK is the RC 2". It levels out the rig real nice and the spacers are steel.

The new version of the Rocky Road kit also has steel spacers in the rear after a number of people (including myself) had the poly spacers blow out. Note: if you are have issues with the rear poly spacers contact Rocky Road and they will most likely send you the new steel spacers under warranty

I have been running the all metal Rocky Road Kit for about a year now with no problems. While I will admit to much drooling over the higher lifts out there (you know who you are El Cid), the money was right for Rocky Road. I think it was a great choice while leaving funds left over for other neccessary things such as skidplates and tires to go with the lift.

I have the metal parts in the garge for when my poly spacers fail, but so far I have been one of the lucky ones and everything is working well.

I'm surprised that you have made it this long without those poly spacers failing. I think that confirms that your XK is a mall crawler.....lol jk

^^^^^^^^LOL^^^^^^^^^

I also have this kit with the metal spacers and love it, I did not go with thier shocks tho. I have had no issues so far in the "mall crawler" status. One day when I grow up and take this thing off roading, I will find out how good this kit really is. LOL.

I replaced my poly spacers a couple weeks ago. I got just about a year out of them. I have to say RR is great on customer service. I called them about the squished spacer, and they sent a set of the heavy metal upgrades free, freight and all. They just wanted me to email a photo of the bad spacer.

One argument I have about going with ''only'' a 2.25'' lift is nothing really has to be done. You get too radical with a lift, then you're into replacing steering arms, suspension links, sway-bar links, and whatever else due to strain on everything. U-joints croak out early because they're working at too steep an angle. On 4x4's I've been involved in for radical lifting, the transfer case needs to be dropped to level out the drive shafts among other things. And even then, you sometimes end up with bump-steer problems.
