Rockfather lift from Rocky Road
« on: September 15, 2004, 06:32:54 AM »
I was just wondering if any of you have heard anything about this because I went to their site the other day and say this as a new suspesion lift they are going to start selling.

Just wondering if any of you had any info on what this is or what kind of lift it will be.

I think that kits been in the works as long as I have been wheeling, about 4yrs! Would be nice to see it actually sold. I think it has changed a bit over the years was originally going to be a design by Jim Mazzola? As I recall it lowers all the stock suspension down to create the lift. I look forward to seeing how it fares in terms of articulation.
Maybe it'll beat Calmini's SAS onto the market, lol

If it's using all stock stuff lowered, chances are it's gonna have the same amount of articulation as a stock kick... maybe a tiny bit more. It'll just allow for bigger tires.

Increased travel on the rear is easy,  But getting the Front to move is the trick.  I'm now looking for stiffer rear coils.

BDS makes lifted Jeep TJ springs, in 2" and 3" sizes. Maybe this will help? When I went to the 2" lifted springs from the stock OEM TJ's, there was a difference in ride, it was stiffer, and the rear sat higher. I was able to take out the spacers. In your case you might want to leave them in.

You can just buy the springs seperately, I was able to get them locally for about 60 bucks for the pair.

Thanks Heather, I'll check out the BDS springs.  The front of my kick is gonna drop at least 1" once I trim the Explorer coils to fit the stock Kick lower buckets.

Any ideia on the spring rates on the Tj coils?  I figure they should be different front to rear.
