Just because the Roxor is new to the market we are paying a dear price for some parts. I understand the whole numbers thing, but lift kits at 2000.00 there is no reason for that. When you can buy lift kits for early Jeeps and Scouts for 500.00 and up with shocks we are paying to much. I will wait for the parts frenzy to slow down and prices to drop then I will buy.

The add a leaf kit from a Ford Explorer levels the front and it's only $30 on Amazon. I'm sure there's shackle lifts out there that also fit but I haven't heard of any that do. The roxor lift shackles are $300 for front and rear and lift 1.5". So for $330 you can have a level 1.5" lift. And the extra spring for bumpers and a winch couldn't hurt

Thanks for the tip, how is the ride with the add a leaf? They tend to stiffen things up in my use if them.
I don't know, I don't have a roxor yet, hopefully getting it this week. I've just been doing constant crazy research since they announced they were coming to the market.

There’s a spring shop in Mio Michigan selling 4in lift springs for them. He has a sale site on EBay. Around 800 for front and rear. Then I just bought some shocks from a local off road shop. And if you find a guy at a auto parts store that has a brain they can match up some adapters for the brake lines. Or call On The Rox Fabrication and they will sell just the extended brake lines for I think 120. Also a drop pitman arm for a Jeep xj fits if you use a die grinder and take out the 4 large alignment humps in it. Then I went disconnectable sway bar Links off a cj. I think I had 1200 all together into it. Prob this week I’m getting rid of tie rod ends and going hiem joints to handle the bigger tires better

I installed the add a leaf for the ford explorer. Rides just a little stiffer, but not bad IMO by any means. My Roxor came with the Warn winch, so maybe that's why it isn't too stiff.

The rough country kit relocates the shocks and has longer brake lines. It uses shackles in the front to lift it but also has a drop bracket that lowers the rear spring mounts. doing it this way retains the same caster and pinion angle as stock.

I installed an add a leaf to the front and shackle lift to front and rear for around $120. 00. Didn’t have to change shocks or brake lines. This is the add a leaf and shackle kit. Installed shackle kit front/rear.
