91 Cherokee 3.5"
Picked up my new Jeep! 91 Cherokee Laredo. 4.0/AW4/NP242 (I think its the
242, it has 2hi,4hi,4hi full, N, 4L). 109,000 miles. Stock gears w/o tow package are 3.55's, right? I want to run 31x10.5's. Looks like the Rubicon 3.5" super-ride will do what I need. How are the mono-tubes on and off road? Are they worth $250 a set? I had a set of Skyjacker soft-ride Hydro 7000's and was very pleased on my last Cherokee. With a 3.5" lift, will I need to re-drill the track bar mount? Drop pitman arm? Slip-yoke eliminator? Thanks, Carl |

Many people say the soft and inexpensive Doetsch Tech 3000 shocks are a better value. Doetsch now makes a slightly more expensive 8000 'prerunner' model if you want something firmer for high-speed fire road pounding.

Desirable, but not required. I have been running a slip yoke for several years after a 4.5" lift with no vibes and no problems. I recently replaced a burned up u-joint but it was one of the non-greasable ones and it was on the truck when I bought it so crap only knows how old it was: http://xjeep.dyndns.org/badjoint.jpg If you do run a slip yoke, its a good idea to replace the stock one with a long-travel yoke as found on YJs or sold new from RE.

Re: 91 Cherokee 3.5"
Steve-
I can get the RE Super-Flex 3.5" kit from offroad toystore for $720.95 (RE price) + 105 for OME shocks. DT3 shocks are free. I'll probably go with the OME's. Sound like a resonable price? Know where I can get a better price?
