does this kit make the jeep ride rough and what needs to be purchased extra to finish the job I have a disabled child so I need a kit that is good?

I don't think it's rough or stiff, but it's tighter then the old worn out factory parts I had. As or add ons, it pretty much covered everything. You do need to adjust the linkage on the transfer case to accommodate the change in drive train position with respect to the body. But that was just a loosen on a bolt and using a second person to push/pull the shifter as you lock the nut down. As for a disabled child accomidation, I don't really know what his or her limitation are, but I had to get step bars soon after so my wife and kids could get into the Jeep due to it new awesome height. It's a good kit for a good price and a do it your selfer.

I personally removed the girl to prevent any scratching and just to be safe overall. And when it goes back on its kind of a tight fit but goes back on smoothly just take your time. Jeep on ;)

The kit comes with shock extensions. I recommend buying shocks for this lift especially if you going with bigger tires it will improve the driving capabilities. This kit looks good with 33x12.50 or equal tire size. With 35's it will defiantly rub. Also if you do go with bigger tires you will need hubsentric spacers of at least 1.5 in for clearance. And I think you can get those from rough country as well. Jeep on!

Yes but you'll be sorry you bought it. Rattles something terrible, paint was messed up and tubes bent on arrival. Should have sent it back. Laying in the trash behind my shed if you want it. You can get a good one from Jeepsters of Soddy Daisy, Tn for about the same price.

G]]]GkhYou use the trailer hitch that is provided to attach them to the bumper on the back of the jeep. I believe any of their jeeps would work. You are looking for the bumper to have a rectangle shape that is hollow. That hollow space is where the trailer hitch will go. Be careful that your kids keep it flat and don't allow someone to trip over the jeep like my kids when it was attached using the trailer hitch. It just made the little spring that sticks out of the trailer and attaches to the back of the jeep. You couldn't pull the trainer with the jeep after that problem was brought to light. Target customer service did give my daughter anew one so she was a very excited! Now it pulls perfectly!

I had the whole unit installed by a Jeep dealer. When I bought everything I had intentions of installing it myself, but it was just too complicated and I didn't have the right tools. The dealership charged me $200.00 to install. Sorry I can't be of much help. Good luck!

We don't have that kit. We bought these so our son could build what he wants. He is very creative and builds all sorts of vehicles. He loves it and he is now 8.

Tough age I had the same issue when my sons were 2. I ended up going with a Jeep because there is only one peddle for operation, on the KFX you have the peddle at his foot and a accelerator at the right hand @ 2' tall he may not be able to reach the peddle and steer comfortably. This is a hefty ride on for its size. Then again skill and capability are on your end. If you need measurements let me know

No but I would recommend new hd shocks and struts . To get the most out of your lift kit.

We returned it and got graco. With jeep you have to tie down, graco seat snaps in, felt safer.

Good morning Roy, the lift kit works very well. I did some outdoor adventure [Fly fishing] in the foothills of the rocky mountains. The "River crossing" was perfect: Sheap river, Oldman river, Livingston river, etc. Jeep parameter: Grand Cherokee 2005 [Laredo] New Tires : Goodyear WRANGLER DURATEC 265/70/17 [perfect for ALL TERRAIN] Installation : Rough Country 664 2-inch. [1 day ca. 12 hours installation with a friend and 10 beers; I'm not an mechanic...] I have absolute no exceptions with this lift system. My Jeep goes and goes, for sure. Be careful on the highway with "bigger" tires [Calibration of the speed...]; you think your speed is 105 km/h in reality your speed is 112 km/h. Best regards Ralf Ps.: In November I'm on Vancouver Island, so ...there will be a lot of dirt...

new shocks will always help , but these jeeps are not known for great handling , i found the best thing to do is slow down ....alot , and make sure they are the right ones in the box's , i did not install them for 4-5 months , when i did , one of them was wrong shock in the right box , because i waited too long i was screwed.....good luck

Yes, there is a specialty tool that jeep recommends, but if you are a bit crafty, regular pullers will work. That's how I got mine out.

good question,get a hardtail bike not this full suspension bike///used cannondale or trek hardtail bike will work great for you,don`t buy this jeep piece of crap

It has everything you need but I would suggest getting this Bestop 51290-01 Black Quick-Release Bow Knuckle Set for Wrangler TJ and JK (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001892W7G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1#) for spares. Those attach the poles to the Jeep and can break, better to have a couple extra just in case.

I had no problem and didn't need any additional equipment to install in a 2002 Silverado & a 2004 S40 Volvo. I know your question is specific to your Jeep but it shouldn't be a different.
