Quality 4 inch lifts (with long arms)
If you were going to spend your money on a 4" long arm kit, which would you
buy? I'll be doing a lot of highway driving with this, but I want to start getting into some more "hardcore" offroad driving now that time and money are permitting. What are my choices out there for 4" lift kits with long arm conversions? Anyone recommend any? Got any links for detailed installs with pictures? (Bill?) Chad 2000 TJ Sport (glad he never sold it) |

Re: Quality 4 inch lifts (with long arms)
I'll probably miss one along the way, but to date Rubicon Express, Teraflex,
Skyjacker and Fabtech have 4" and greater long arm kits out, and Currie has a "triangulated" kit that's fairly radical. Folks who've installed the RE and Tera kits seem very satisfied. I'm not familiar with the Skyjacker but I'd expect their kits to be very good as well. I haven't heard any negatives re: running these kits on the street. Perhaps someone here who's got one installed can comment.

I've been looking at that one, but haven't yet made the plunge. Anyone know anything about it? Dave |

Re: Quality 4 inch lifts (with long arms)
I don't know about the 6", but one of the guys in my club bought the 4" full
traction and had several parts break on him. He was less than impressed. I don't know what parts, but I don't feel that any suspension parts should break!

Re: Quality 4 inch lifts (with long arms)
I was talking about Full Traction, not RE. I've never known anyone to have
anything other than good results from RE.

However, the vast majority have had very good experience with RE. |
