One of the questions we hear most is "Help! I just got my Jeep, what should I do first?"
And, while there is no magic answer to this question that works 100% of the time, our most common recommendation is to install a good-quality suspension lift kit and larger tires. This combination of upgrades serves to accomplish many improvements simultaneously by increasing clearance, traction, and by offering better equipment protection.
Imagine a lift kit that can generate a ramp
score of over 1000 points, out of the box - while maintaining the TJ's awesome factory ride - and Rancho comes to the rescue with a fantastic suspension kit called, appropriately enough, the Rock Crawler. This is absolutely the most complete 2.5-inch suspension kit we have ever seen, and offers outstanding ride and performance improvements over their competitors. This is also the ONLY suspension lift for the Jeep Wrangler TJ that we endorse, and we do so without reservation.

Rancho has really outdone themselves with the Wrangler Rock Crawler suspension lift by including absolutely everything you'll need for a complete installation, such as a transfer-case drop kit, bump-stop extensions, heavy duty sway-bar quick-disconnects, dropped Pitman Arm, and even extended brake lines. Add some RS9000-X shocks and 33-inch Mickey Thompson Radial Claws, and your TJ is now ready for Moab...or just about anything else you can get your Jeep into!
Check out these great features:

The bottom line always comes down to, "So how does this lift help me?" The articulation alone gained from this lift makes it worth its weight in gold! Especially if you have open differentials, you probably understand how important it is to keep all of your tires firmly on the ground to maintain traction. This lift allows your Jeep to flex more than you can imagine, maintaining traction in situations that may surprise you. And when you upgrade to larger tires, you effectively increase the amount of tire that is in contact with the trail, greatly improving traction over smaller tires.
No matter how you look at it, the Rock Crawler lift from Rancho brings your Jeep Wrangler to life!
