Jeep Commander lift kits, 2.25" 

 suspension, 2", 3"

 EXTREME is cool!

There's really no debate that extreme 4wheeling catches our attention and is really great to watch.

But let's face it, this guy on the left doesn't have to use his rig to drive to work everyday, go grocery shopping, or even drive to the trail on weekends for that matter.

So while EXTREME 4wheeling is very high on the cool scale, it is also very low on the practical scale. That's where Rocky Road comes in. We'll let those guys have their fun and maybe even watch their videos sometimes, but we know what real world folks drive..... and let's face it, how silly a stock Jeep looks.

The bottom line is that most folks do want to spice up their Jeep a bit, but suspensions that change the way a vehicle drives and handles are NOT what most people are looking for. We want a sensible suspension that gets us onto some bigger tires for a MUCH better look and some extra clearance for the occasional weekend trail ride.

If this describes you, then Rocky Road has the answer. Our Commander lifts are easy to install, retain the stock suspension springs, and don't screw up your vehicle. After installation of a Rocky Road lift, you will still have the same safe and sane handling on your daily driver.

Our kit uses a high strength spring spacer system with your stock rear springs. This eliminates the problem with many systems on the market today for Jeeps.... STIFF springs. Most companies choose the lowest bid when farming out production of their springs which means the customer oftimes gets stuck with a ride that is worse than stock. Our system retains your factory springs so your ride quality and load capacity are not diminished.

Here's some details..... "TWO THUMBS UP from me!!! Your kit and new shocks with Nitto Terra Grapplers 265/70 R17 and Moto Metal 954 Wheels"

If you do wish to purchase new shocks though, Rocky Road exclusively uses our own engineered shocks for Commanders as the superior shock on the market today. You get superior valving designed for SUV weight for excellent ride quality on this upgraded shock as opposed to a shock designed for a full size pickup and rides like a tank.... such as those found in many other lifts.

The stock shocks are marginal at this lift height. You might be able to run with stock stocks, but we do not recommend it. For this reason, we offer a full suspension lift with shocks, and without. The kit with shocks is equipped with our Jeep engineered shocks. An excellent choice since they're built perfect for the medium weight of the Commander and not for vehicles weighing thousands of lbs more.

Also available are the Rocky Road lift kits packaged with the Rancho 9000 Adjustable rear shocks. These high end shocks allow the vehicle owner to dial in the ride quality to their own personal taste. Or adjust the shocks to suit their use for the day being a regular drive around town, some more serious offroad, or heavy duty towing use. The adjustable Rancho shocks make are a nice upgrade for those who want more flexibility and control of their ride and handling.

We know you'll find the Rocky Road 2.25" lift to be the best riding suspension on the market for your Commander and have designed it for not only maximum performance, but maximum ride quality with our external strut spacers. Why only 2.25"... why not something taller? We tested taller lifts and found that anything over 2.5" tall can and will damage your front CV axles. A taller lift may sound better initially to some, but unless you are keep to change out your thousand dollar (apiece) front axles once a year, every year, then avoid the taller lift because they will harm your drivetrain. Keeping it mild keeps it simple, safe, and protective to your drivetrain. 

We've received many questions on tire sizing with this lift. The answer is.... there is no single answer.

Wheel size and backspace can make as much or more of a difference as tire size. The design of the steering knuckle assembly makes it close quarters width-wise for oversize tire fitment. While our lift will create the vertical height you need, you will have to watch the width and backspacing carefully. For this reason, we cannot spec nor guarantee any tire/wheel size will fit. What we recommend is to install your lift, then have a tire shop test mount the setup you're thinking of before purchase. Have them test fit a front tire as that is where any issues will crop up. Any tire shop wanting your business will do a test fit in their shop (no need to drive on it, you'll know with it parked).

The red Jeep pictured above (at a dealership selling new Jeeps with Rocky Road lifts) is running Mickey Thompson MTX radial 265/70/17, and the wheels are forged American Racing Sidewinder in 17 x 8 with a zero offset for an excellent fit.
