Jeep YJ with Rough Country Lift at Coon Creek

[kylerdamion]

what song is this??

[09adge13]

@kylerdamion "crash" by 12 stones

[ed0985587]

Ive got a 92 yj 4 banger and a 2012 JKU. dont wanna mess with the jku yet as its brand new but wanting to toy up the yj. Would the 4cyl be worth putting the suspension money into?

[09adge13]

@ed0985587 yeah theres plenty of people who wheel 4cyl jeeps. but it depend on what you do. trail runs, few obstacles here and there yeah 4cyl will do fine. but you want to get serious its alot more expensive to get it right. if you go 33s or higher you will have regear the axles to get power back. 4.88 gears are most desirable for 4bangers. 6cyl jeeps are alittle more powerful that even with stock 3.07 gears people can tolarate it until they get the $ for regears. but yeah you be fine for now

[ed0985587]

@09adge13 so the YJ 4cyl comes stock with 4.10 gears right? i think i read that somewhere

[09adge13]

@ed0985587 yeah 4cyl yjs came with 4.10 gears stock. their ideal for the 6cyl yj to up the gearing for big tires but for the 4cyl yjs not good enough for big tires. thats where 4.88s come in

[trac0808]

i have the 4 inch lift on my yj from rough country. ya the road ride is pretty bad i was not expeting alot i was just gonna get the lift then revolver shackles and longer shocks but i locked up my axles and i was impressed it had alot more flex than any of these in this video check out my videos it may help someone make up there mind from paying 450 for rc to 1000 for others

[09adge13]

@trac0808 the jeeps in vid still had the tracbar/swaybar connected if they werent on yes the springs will perform great. i checked your vids out and they were great. i too have the 4" lift from RC and their 1" boom shackles. been on their for 7months with no sag at all esp. carrying cargo, full tank of gas everywk and hardtop 4.0L. quite impressed. i flexed mine this morning and the rear springs stuff my 33s to a point it touched the tub. the front was limited cause my brakelines and shocks.

[trac0808]

@09adge13 ya i never liked the travel of any of the shocks from rc

[09adge13]

not bad driving skills. wheeling open/open diffs.

[09adge13]

the reason why these jeeps dont have flex is because the swaybar and tracbar is still connected

[nsskelly]

were these the 4cy jeeps or 6cyl just curious im looking to get a trail rig

[chassis23]

the 6" had no flex at all, Rough Country is junk, oh and good luck every getting them to warrantee anything!

[RidgeRunner88]

The red one with the 6" kit has hardly any articulation...

[hardcorefiend1]

the black yj is running 33x12.50dick cepek crushers. the red yj is running 35x12.50's. with a good fender trimming andsuch,the four inch could fit 35's. but they may rub at full stuff, depending on how much you trim. the 33's are plenty though. and yeah, i am getting the four inch lift, and in no way can afford tires too. so, i will be running on stock 27's with the lift. i dont mind, i already do better than my friends lifted trucks. jeeps rule all!!!

[JEEPINJUSTIN1979]

NEED ARTICULATION

[CrossmanM]

Sorry but that 6in lift looks goofy as fuck and it looks bumpy as balls.. Better off getting a SOA for that size of a lift

[09norcohavoc]

what year where these jeeps and what size tires

[DEean6969]

i just bought a 4" pro comp lift i gotta get it installed on my 95 yj. i cant afford tires i have 30" on them now is that going to be shity as hell, or should i wait to put the lift on?

[09adge13]

@DEean6969 wait until you get some tires then put lift and tires on at sametime. i cant say nothing though when i put my 4" rc lift on but i ordered my 33s 2wks before the project so i thought the tires wouldve been in around the sametime i put the lift on well turned out they took longer to show up. 4" lift and 27" tires look goofy as hell i just parked my yj in the garage and suffered jeep withdrawals from not driving it and waited 4 more days after lift installation for them to come in haha.

[M0RTaLK0MBaT68]

@DEean6969 i think it will be borderline, but i like a little space between the top of tires and fenders. to some it will look bad, but i think i would wait to be safe.

[brandyglasshalffull]

cant wait to get my first yj. going from speeding all over, to a slow enjoyable crawl. join me gents and we will all crawl together.

[BKsneak11]

do you think 31 inch tires would look good with a 4 inch lift?

[stonesour5656]

@BKsneak11 id go with 33's or 35's my yj has a 4 inch with 35's

[09adge13]

is the d35 still under those jeeps?

[CHADISLEGEND]

what size tires on the black yj?

[buggy4truck4]

sorry what motors are in the red and black ones?

[buggy4truck4]

what motor is in it?

[zuman95]

i have a 4 inch old man emu lift on my tj wrangle,i have perfect ride on the street and excellent suspension travel of road

[rockhopperz93xeedmax]

NO LOCKERS??? LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME AS FUUUUUK

[zuman95]

i dont like rough country stuff,stiff ride and very little suspension travel

they are the walmart of off roading,they do have excellent customer

service.great video,great song,

[rockhopperz93xeedmax]

@zuman95 VERY VERY VERY TRUUUUUU YEP YEP!! THIS SHIT SUX BAD...THERES WAY BETTER STUFF, RUFF COUNTRY BRAND IS FOR BIG ASSS HILL BILLY CHEV'S AND FORD'S LOL

[saganhill]

@zuman95 Who wants to spend 1500-3500 for a lift when they can get one from rough country that will accomplish the same desired outcome for a 1/3rd of that price? Do the math man...

[blahwastaken]

@saganhill Very true they are cheaper than other brands BUT if you want your 4" lift to be a 2" in 8-12 months from sagging then buy rough country....if not go with somthing with better quality leaf springs. I dont know how theyre lifts are for tj and later but I know that YJ lifts from rough country are shit. I ended up putting rubicon express 4" on my Yj for $858 (cheap) and are 10x better than rough country

[bockkey]

omg get some lockers man up a little and spring under is garbage

[BFF1128]

yo tis song rockz

[jeepnallday]

that red yj is a beast! I have the same front bumper as the black one

[grif471]

sweet video but i'd suggest some tj flares so your wheels dont rub the current ones

[DejCoal1106]

do these lift kit require welding?

[SoCalOffroad909]

@DejCoal1106 only spring over axle conversions require welding... these are bolt on kits

[OSUBucks12345]

what year are these jeeps?

[SoCalOffroad909]

@OSUBucks12345 these are YJ's,,,, the black ones about a 93 and the red one is about a 89

[MrNickRamirez]

Are they rolling on 35s or 33s?

Thanks in advance for the answer (:

[SoCalOffroad909]

@MrNickRamirez i think the black jeep is on 33's and the red is on 35's

[triniboy2007]

could the straight 6 engine that jeep makes do this u think ??

[SoCalOffroad909]

@triniboy2007 yeah the 6 cyl is perfect for crawlin

[XpbfreakX]

haha the black jeep is nearly identical to my own only differance is i only have a 2.5 lift

[DareOnlyGaming]

is the black jeep a 4 banger?

[bmxstreet6]

I dont think that neither of the lifts have alot of flex. To me, the 4" has more flex than the 6".

[SoCalOffroad909]

@bmxstreet6 its cause the kits provide you with new leaf springs that are super stiff... and also they might have their sway bars connected

[sprecher4]

i just got the yj glad to see yj's having fun...alway seeing the cj...i wanna climb stuff in my 93 yj

[dshaw103]

what year is the red one

[SoCalOffroad909]

@dshaw103 the red one is about a 89 if i had to guess cause of the slanted rear bar on the roll cage

[chriswantsbeer]

are any of theses YJs the 2.5 4 banger or the 4.0. i have the 2.5 weak A** motor and i am trying to get a feel for how much weaker they get with 33s or 35.

[freakmanhere]

if you go larger tires replace the gears and you should not lose power. I got a 6l in mine and when I put the lift and 33 tires I lost a lot of power. I took the stock 3.07 gears out and put in some 4.56 and got that power back. But shit a 4 banger sale it and get 1 with a straight 6. I plan on swapping out my 6 and getting a chevy v8 in it then I will have some damn good power

[jeepsteve]

Let's just say you won't enjoy the highway until you regear. Even in the 4.0, lower gear ratio is almost mandatory.

[VinXLQ1]

my fiance just bought a YJ with the 4.0/AX15 setup running 33's with the stock 3.07's. It takes a little while to accelerate in 3rd-5th, but it 1st and 2nd are ok, and it will get rubber going into 3rd if you're really on it.

What is nice though is 1000RPM's @ 60mph. No acceleration, but nice mpg's.

[xxrubicon308xx]

i have a 4banger turning 35s and it is very laggish. where i live 5th gear is completely usless. even going up a hill, it ur not carrying a good bit of speed,you will have to go down to 3rd or even 2nd gear.

[prtyby360]

bigzuki xD dont mess with the Wrangler community, anyways Sweet vid!!!!! Love that 6 inch rough country

[1bigZuki]

Not worried about the Wrangler Community. =) Got plenty of friends that have them. Some Stock and a few VERY modified. Hell I have owned a couple myself! Hahahaha Now also own a 01 Cherocar. Buutttttt. . . . Still not a fan of the YJ. :/

[normanedmundh]

wtf is a shoe box?

[prtyby360]

my yj would crush the shoe box. i got an 87.

[1bigZuki]

Ya? Good luck with that!

[1bigZuki]

YJ = Shit.

Sorry, its true. Don't hate.

YJ + Off the shelf lift = Shit.

Same outcome.

Using YJ springs on my Zuk where they work Great!

[doctorphate]

Maybe you just suck at driving something bigger than a shoe box. I never had an issue with the YJ.

[1bigZuki]

LMAO @ U!!! My "ShoeBox" will walk your YJ!

Hahahaha!!!

[bbjsw10]

@1bigZuki Looks like in your vids the YJ springs are way too stiff for the Sami. I would take my YJ any day over one too.

And off the shelf can work real well if set up properly, these guy's setup look extremely stiff as well, not much flex. Over torqued shackles problably main issue.

[1bigZuki]

The springs in my vids are the stock sami springs (NOT YJs) in a spring over lift. Yeah, Not stiff at all.

[Mbalto]

Nice jeeps, it looks as though the flex is not that great. My stock TJ appears to have more articulation, although it doesn't have large tires, or a lift.

[razan8v92]

That would be a good promotional video for rough country

[fishermenjack]

Liking the smittybuilt bumpers! got the same one! :)

[FOXYKAT6]

I just got an 88 wrangler.. 4" body 4" suspension lifts. Rock crawler sways, 32" mudders.... I can't stop looking out the window at it when I am not driving :) can't wait for the spring thaws .. woo hoo

[MolaRam015]

i cant wait to get my wj finished....dosent have any lift....but i might keep it that way

[batesville2]

I am so happy I shot for the 6in spring over lift, perfect height

[brookiexxboo1]

what song is in this video thanks

[brookiexxboo1]

what song is playing

[ripper3494]

i just got a 1994 blue and black yj 6 inch lift with 35 x 12.5 tires, i lovee it

[Timmymyman]

nice vid

[SouljaBabyWayne]

I've always loved Jeep Wranglers, especially YJs. I hope that one day I will be able to get one. I am frequent checking:

jeepforsale [dot] wordpress [dot] com

This site has a few Jeeps for sale on it.

[mrnegitive11]

i love my yj

[acdcfanftw9]

2 words fucking beast

[xxrubicon308xx]

the biggest tire u can put on a stock yj that still looks good is 31x10.50 any bigger and it looks like shit and may rub

[slurpyman20]

springs wayy to stiff. Jeeps are just too light for those hi-lift sua springs. Best way to achieve better suspension movement with a sua setup is to use 1-3" lift springs only and do all the fender trimmings to fit tire. Otherwise the Best setup with leaf springs is a soa with said minimal arched springs i.e R.E. 1.5's

[gunns480]

@slurpyman20 i agree and if you want more lift do a leaf over and a body lift. it is cheap and easy. then you could put 38.5s on it.

[jim4398]

need to air down and get lockers!

[hp40orbust]

X2 on comments about sway bars, I just took mine completely off cause 100 dollars for the discos is a little rediculous, I'm not trying to tow or race.

[huntro14]

yall need lockers

[erikabash]

these still have sway bars linked

[erikabash]

i have no track bars no sway bars on 235/75r15 stock everthing and it did all right :( then i add the 4 inch it made a big differents it has flex as much as you can get out of a spring under axle if you want flex out of a YJ do a spring over axles its the best for flex no bs .rubicon exspress has the correct springs for a soa

[stephanopolious]

no acutally 33's is the highest you could go on stock..35's would work but you need a 5inch suspension lift for clearence if you wana go that high you need a new cv rear drive shaft and a slip yoke elmainator..i have 35inch tsl super swampers with a 5 inch suspension lift and a 2 inch body lift on my yj and it looks damn sexy

[DanoLXF]

You can't fit 33's on a YJ without a lift or serious trimming.

[1993epiphoneSG]

wouldnt get it (the lift) it just looks like it has NO flex

[ericdogloi]

its all in how they are set up where i am there are like 20 jeeps and truck with those lifts and they are really nice lots of flex If you have it set right for the truck/jeep your running

[DanoLXF]

You just need to ditch the sway bar and the track bar. Flex problems solved.

[BANUCHAMAN]

How do you like those iroks. i'm considering getting a set myself

[CubedStudios]

"Coon Creek"..... Sounds like somewhere in Western Australia.

[akselltordah]

none of these drivers have given a thought about safety for instance....

[dubhummer75]

i have a 95 yj and i was wondering what the max size of tire i could put on it

[vex270]

prob 35s on stock diffs

[wthund3r2]

the first truck def needs front and rear lockers..

[pippo9see10]

What's the name of this song? Please...

[seetherfan1930]

crash by 12 stones

[CubedStudios]

terrible christian rock music....

[kohsamui69]

nice video..I looking at a 90 YJ 186 thou on her, 33" and 3" lift..Think it has too many miles on it to buy. How many miles on these jeeps.

[mdk576]

How much do they run for a 3 to 4 inch lift? For a 90 YJ Nice video

[vetteburna]

is this a 4 inch lift ? .. im going to buy a kit soon... Any recomedations??? i got a 94 yj

[frhernandez]

You'd better go for a S.O.A.... those suspension kits seem to be extremely rigid

[carlsaiyed]

Great video! The red one really gets it done!

[pablorro1]

jeep rules !!!

[caramingo235]

I have Rough Country suspension on my Explorer and it is Awesome.

[JoeSparro]

Are those vacuum stock lockers?

[JoeSparro]

Those lifts turned those YJs into fighters. Really cool video!

[launwatch]

YAHOO!

[firefighter38]

id love to give it a visit

[launwatch]

Address: 4428 Lenox-Navoo Rd, Dyersburg, TN 38024

[nikkondead]

Love yj and the vid just got my 4 inch rough country lift on my yj

[badtripsrbad]

[ContagiousYJ]

Watch again... Focus really hard when it hits about 2:20

[badtripsrbad]

oh yeah

[launwatch]

Coon Creek Off road Park Address: 4428 Lenox-Navoo Rd, Dyersburg, TN 38024

[kerchiefd]

what kind of tires are those?

[kermitdefrog69]

dick cepek

? but dont know which kind ?

[hidingson]

the red jeep is overpowering on gas to my point of view :) greatlifts.

[elchingao86]

nice jeeps yj but I prefer to do soa is better and you have more flex

[DarkAnge108]

why do those jeeps seem to be having trouble flexing? are the sway bars connected?

[codyjhansen]

i just got a 1989 jeep yj and i want to put eather 33 or 35 what the best way to do this?

[badtripsrbad]

at least 4" susp. lift for 33's

[morito12345678]

nop just 2.5 is enough

[badtripsrbad]

is it?....weird

[fordtruxinnc]

i have an 89 yj with 3" susp lift and 33s and i've got plenty of clearance.

[XSCxBl4cKN1F3]

absolutely gorgeous jeeps. I want a YJ soooo bad. cool video

[K9Ares]

I put the 4" on my 88 YJ and love it. I also upgraded the front and rear shackles. With this addition 33s fit with no problem and looks awesome.

[ComediankingTm]

coon creek aye? lol

[chicago85bearz]

I noticed that you took off the license plate bracket over the gas cap. Where did you stick the license plates?

[sitdwnandhngon]

Is there a noticable difference between the 4" kit and 6" kit. I want to buy the 6" but it is alot more money, and i already run 35" tires.

[bonzo828]

Well for one you would have much more tire clearance, but if you already run 35s and wheel it than that call is up to you. Although at 6"s you will need to add a slip yoke eliminator and a longer rear drive shaft.

[sitdwnandhngon]

What size tires are each of those rigs running?

[CheesenCrackers69]

I have the same lift kit as the black jeep. It was fairly easy to install, it was just hard to remove the old leaf springs as the bushings had fused to them. Had to cut them off. It doesnt look quite as big as in the video but still awsome. I have 28's on it right now but looking for some 33's because it looks too small One problem im having is that the reloacated sway bar is actually hitting one of my rear shocks!? has anyone else had this problem? I know i put it on right anyone else had this?

[Chuycel]

what size of wheels is the black ? and what modificated parts have?

[codygrant94tracker]

wats tha song

[FightingGoat23]

I have a question...

I have a 1995 jeep wrangler YJ and the leaf springs are completely flat. no curve whatsoever. Do I need a lift kit or just new leaf springs? because this jeep looks kick ass, but I've got 30" tires and I don't want them to look small if I lift it... Someone please help me out here.

[bonzo828]

Well if the springs are flat you can do one of two things. You can put new leafs on there or you could install an add-a-leaf and re-arch the leafs. As far as the new leafs the only way to replace them is a lift kit no one really makes a factory replacement leaf.

[FightingGoat23]

thank you so much for the help. I went to Kragen Auto Parts and they said they could order replacement leaf springs for me, though. So, in your opinion, would it be alright for me to simply replace the leaf springs? or will I keep having the same problem later on?

[bonzo828]

Well just like everything else they will eventually flatten out again, but for optimal performance I would go with a lift kit plus it's cheaper than ordering oem springs.

[FightingGoat23]

oh well. thank you for the help figuring this out.

[muzfia]

i bought a 4 inch lift for my 87yj. i cant wait to get it in the mail. looks like a nice size lift from this vid.

[CheesenCrackers69]

I just ordered mine...cant wait until i get it...will need some new tires then too lol i only have 27s or somthing now its going to look so funny

[lyang907]

i got a 93 YJ sahara edition, freaken awesome dude, and i was thinking bout doing the same lift. maybe later convert it to coilovers when i get the money to do it.

[suicidalchris]

YJ Jeeps look the best

[obs2008]

got the same lift on my yj. nice lift but i think they should recomend 32's as max tire size. thats what im runnin and you can stuff them so easy. even in the vid, they look like 33's and you can see they hit the fenders super easy

[bonzo828]

I agree 100% on the tire size, but more often then not 33's are easier to come by than are 32s.

[TrunkFunk]

The perfect combo is to run the 4" lift with 33's and then run TJ fender flares to improve clearance ...

Those 4" RC springs seem to flex really well?

[dubsublime07]

Great video!!! Iv got the 4 Inch lift on my yj!
