How will this lift kit work in dirt roads and 4X4 terrain ?

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...

It has held up fine for me on rough terrain, it gave me enough room to put a bigger tires on, and now it's a mean off roaring machine in my mind.

Works great! I primarily do trail driving with loose and hard pack and has been great , haven't done any hardcore rock crawling or anything , it's only 2"! But I've hammered it pretty good and it's holding up...

Works great...with my set up.not sure what size tire your wanting to run...I would recommend a offset wheel rather than factory rims..factory wheels are 7 1/2" offset I bought 8 1/2" offset wheels for clearance on inside frame and better ride..I'm running 265/70/17 nittos I got almost 4" higher with lift and tires looks and handles awesome...

Not so sure about dirt roads, but the bike is poorly built. The bolts and machined parts do not properly fit, steer clear of this bike......

Mike I don.t know but I have on a 4 wheel landscape trailer it works great also sometimes the ball does not release from the hitch and it starts to pick the back of the truck so my has quite a bit of lifting power I have 2000 lb j.d. tractor and when it on the trailer in a balanced position it will pitch up the front of the trailer to release hitch hope this helps. Mike.

I have a heavy I have a heavy RV and only using 40% of the capacity of the air lift system I level out with ease. I'm certain you would appreciate a great improvement in ride and handling. Probably the best towing accessory I've ever bought.

it is a very weak front wheel drive powered unit so getting around on any terrain other than concrete is not really an option, but for general use on even pavement and a fairly light person this would work

Yes it will. The studded tires allow for that. Now, if the grass is tall, it might have more difficulty.

It has 4 height settings. One runs on the skids and digs in just a bit, one runs slightly higher, one is high and used mostly for transport and the other 'floats' and follows the terrain. I use the last one mostly, even though it digs a little near a couple of ruts, doesn't kick up enough gravel to hurt anything. I have a gravel drive too, but right now it's more like a hard pack dust:). Better fix that in the spring. Oh, you can set the runner (skid) height too.

I used in the 2wd model, Im not sure if the 4x4 is different I wouldn't think so but might research it. Took about 1.5 hours total to install cleaning the old tank took the longest! The ground strap has to be disconnected its in a tricky corner on the driverside.

The ground has to be smooth concrete or tile, I do not think it works directly on dirt ground.

Plow lift really depends on installation. Installed further forward, will not lift as high, installed back further, will lift higher. Install kit tends to be more forward on my can-am plow. Sorry, not real helpful. Mine might lift 2-3 inches. Less when the plow is angled. Not high enough to above most of our new snow here in Alaska, but it's OK.

Hi, The Terrain requires different hardware. We have a great kit for that and it's pretty much a plug & play installation. Check out Amazon # B00HG1TO7G Thanks!

i never tried it --only had my sons lift quite large dirt-filled pots. I would think it would work for rocks as well, but can't say for sure.

Wheels are small so rough/bumpy terrain could be difficult. this machine will fit onto a yard cart so that is the way i would move it over any distance. Load it onto the cart using wide planks as a ramp.

No issues at all. That's what this thing was made for. I have a regular pickup and it works great for loading my atv, wheel barrow full of debris, and dollies with appliances. Having a lifted truck will make the angle pretty steep, but the ramp will handle it without a problem.

These are specifically made for unlevel conditions. The only concern is you have to watch the gravel. You don't want big chunky rocks under these. I had to buy two kits as one wasn't enough. I use them on a 12k Lb tandem axle 38 ft 5th wheel. Takes 3 under each wheel for me just for starters then one under the landing gear and rear stabilizers. That's 16 and gives me 4 more to add to the low side. If the campsite it any more out of level then that I don't want to park there anyhow.

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!
