Suspension Install Question

Which suspension lift kits for the FJ do not require any kind of frame cutting or other potentially structural damage? I am looking at Rough Country lift specifically.

I just installed the Rough Country 6" lift. No cutting, no weilding, and used hand tools only. Also did it in the driveway.

Step out your back door and have a looksy...

...

There are one or two 6" lift kits that have special
requirements as in larger rims and CUTTING, but
all of the 3" kits and the 6" Ruff Country do not !...

PICT UP when you get er' done, or before, We
don't care, We just LUV to see PICTURES !...

Give them a call and ask for Ben. They are located here in Dyersburg, TN about 2 1/2 hrs from you.

Ok, great! I've done lowering spring installs on a sports car but never a lift kit. Do they require an alignment afterwards? Does anyone know if Rough Country does installs if I decide not to wrench it myself?

Pictures for sure!

CALL Rough Country about the Install...

And Yes, Once lifted, You will need an
Alignment done...

Maybe Bandi knows something I don't, but this summer they were not doing installs. They referred me to someone.
