I have a 4" Rough Country Kit on mine.
I had to get a new relocation bracked for Front and Rear Panhard (Track/TieRod) bars as the ones in the kit only suited LHD. That kit you linked has an adjustable Front Track Bar, so that should be fine. Might just need a new Rear Bar bracket. (Although, it might be fine for the 2.5" and I got my kit a while ago 2007, so it might no-longer be an issue)

If you have the stuff others have mentioned in this thread you should be fine...

Instructions were clear and easy to follow.
Service and responce time for queries was excellent.
Delivery time was good and too my door.

I got mine though an Ebay store, www.TruckXessories.com , who were very helpful as well. Answered/Told me much of the same questions you have asked here.

the front track bar off a lhd jeep is no good for a rhd jeep

Well, there you go, you'll probably need to think about getting a RHD one of them too then. They might be dealing more with RHD these days (though I doubt they would unless the have had a LOT of RHD sales) so it would be worth asking them if they had any RHD suitable equipment.

just ask them to do it cheaper without the track bar and get a rear panhard rod drop bracket from arb .

Excalibur
18-08-2010, 08:31 PM
yea i might ask them about that. cheers.
so these 2 would be the only problem??

Any lift, even if only 2", it's worth getting the SYE.

i just ordered this last week.
http://www.autotrucktoys.com/jeep/Rough-Country-Jeep-Wrangler-25-Suspension-Lift-97-06-P28421C7623.aspx

says it 'Includes front and rear springs, shocks, transfer case drop kit, and hardware'

is the transfer dropcase kit different for LHD OR can this kit just go on with no modification? tx guys

tc drop is just spacers tha tgo between the chassis and trans skid so they will be fine
