Great Lift Kit for Jeep KL Trailhawk

First off, I have owned & lifted a Jeep TJ (6"") & XJ (4.5""), along with owning another XJ & WK2 Grand Cherokee. This KL Trailhawk has been one of the most versatile Jeep's I've owned, but even with the 'factory' lift, it still had a bad nose dive and didn't look like a proper trail Jeep should.I read reviews, looked at photos (of Jeeps with this lift) and thought about adding it for almost 2 years while driving my Trailhawk bone-stock. I finally ordered, installed it with a buddy (about 3 hours) and added Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's in OEM 245/65 R17. I didn't want to add a larger tire as this is still my daily driver and I didn't want to kill the MPG's. Since installing the lift, I have noticed MAYBE a .5mpg hit vs stock, so I'm very pleased with the results. Also, by running the lighter weight P rated Falken AT over the almost 10lb per tire heavier LT rated KO2's, the performance is the same, including Sport mode. Overall, I'm 9.5/10 pleased with this lift and would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting to lift their KL. It's definitely not my old XJ with a 4.5"" lift, but for 2022, its the best of all worlds and I really enjoy the overall look. The nosedive is gone and it now sits perfectly level. The additional wheel well clearance by keeping the stock 245/65R17's doesn't look odd or off at all, and gives me a bit more articulation clearance without rubbing.Don't chase the MFC lift unless you really want to lift this body style Jeep higher than around 1.5-2"" (tires account for some lift). For most people this is the perfect kit to get their Jeep just enough outside of the ‘stock' look to be different, but not going as far as to ruin the ride or give a lot of premature wear to the drivetrain. Again, I can't recommend this lift enough and recommend it without question. Should have done it the day I bought the Jeep!

Kit took me about 4hrs to install by myself. It added 2"" to my ride height and allowed me to put 245/70/17's on for another 1"" of height. Just make sure to get an alignment once it's complete.

Disappointed with incompatible installation, costly lesson

Kits seems of great quality and sturdy construction. Sadly, I wish could be more noticeable that this CAN'T be installed on aftermarket struts. I have Monroe Spectrum on mine, not Mopar, and won't fit. By the time I was able to install my return window was closed.. costly lesson.

Great lift kit for Cherokee Trailhawks

My wife and I both bought 2021 Cherokee Trailhawks, and I lifted mine with a slightly higher kit and with hers- we wanted a leveling kit without quite as much height on the rear. This lift is perfect for that. Someone claimed a shop told him that it doesn't work with the electronic steering rack- but the shop apparently made a mistake and is blaming the lift to cover up their mistake. This lift kit works on ANY KL Cherokee.Spacer lifts are simple things, and it doesn't matter if the spacers are ""fancy"" or simple and there's no reason to pay many times more for a ""boutique"" branded lift kit- it will simply do the exact same job.Installation is easy, and with a proper spring compressor the rears can be done faster than it takes to remove the rear wheels.Pros: Works on ALL KL Cherokees, including Trailhawks. Inexpensive.Cons: Leveling kit, so you need a thicker spacer to lift the same amount front and rear.

Disappointed with the advertised tire fitment

The small increase in hight was worth the money. I have a 2020 cherokee and to my understanding it is easy to install. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is cause this lift kit says it will fit a 32 in tire with trimming. This is not true. There is no way a 32 in tire will fit of a 2020 cherokee without having to trim the heck out of the front fenders. At max this kit will fit a 31 in tire. It does fit a 29 in tire really good without any trimming necessary.

Disappointed with the lack of details

Very surprised with Rough Country for missing out on the details. 4 of the main nuts were not included (Had to search locally through the hardware stores to find them). They did put totally useless bolts and unused nuts in the package. Not much for compensation :(.The instructions contained many mistakes such as which piece went where, taking things off that didn't need to be. What should have been 2 hour job morphed into over 8 hours with the excursion to visit the local hardware and tractor supply stores. I am happy with the results and it does some to be a solid lift. Just be nice if the details were there as well.
