FINALLY getting my lift, now what lift to get is the question.
Well its graduation time and i have been saving money since February. I
have around $800 now and expect to have around $1000 in a week. (oh and my dad is going to buy the tires, 33" BFG MTR) My goal is a 4" short arm kit. I have been told the kits from Full Traction, RockKrawler, and Skyjacker are worth my money. I have also been told to check out Rubicon Express's 3.5" lift because RE is a very good company and getting that lift would save me a few bucks for other things. I am however, set on 4" and for some reason 3.5" to me seems low (although its just 1/2" difference). I could however put on a 1/2" spacer to make up the difference. Either way I go, i think later on in my life once im out of college and whatnot Ill end up replacing the lift and going all-out on my jeep. Thanks for your help guys! You have always been there. |
Re: FINALLY getting my lift, now what lift to get is the question.
Brett,
I am assuming you have a TJ. Include the Teraflex 3" and 4" suspension systems in your list. Their 3" will easily clear your 33" BFGs and is excellent both on and off road. With any 3" or 4" lift you are also looking at a transfer case upgrade with a SYE and CV drive shaft to eliminate vibrations (you won't need these is you have the Rubicon).

Re: FINALLY getting my lift, now what lift to get is the question.
I just put a rubicon 4 1/2" on my YJ and it's actually closer to 6" high.
Rubicon has awesome springs, soft and flexy....do some research on their lifts and springs. I think you'd be really happy. The kit was complete and all the parts fit great. -- Robb Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/jeep-cars/200505/1 |

Re: FINALLY getting my lift, now what lift to get is the question.
I have the Rough Country lift -- just remember, they don't call it Rough
Country for no reason at all.... I will say, though, that after having it on for almost a year, things softened up a bit. Not much, but a bit. It could have something to do with my having a 2.5L (lighter). My front end sits slightly higher than the rear now that I have the tire carrier and 33" MT hanging off the back. Have to get some small coil spacers to counter that. Or a winch up front to lower it a bit. ;-) Eric "Jeep" <jrhiltz@eastlink.ca> wrote in message news:vYhme.17734$9A2.3423@edtnps89... >I second the BDS ;ifts...I know atleast 20 ppl with them on their TJ and >they work well, priced well and great customer service...also the Rough >country 4" is a beauty kit and very inexpensive...my buddy jus put one on >his TJ with plenty of room for his 35's and then some >http://rough.roughcountry.com/ $499.
