TJ Lift kit recommendation
Are the "value" lift kits out there, the ones for 500-800 bux, worth the
money? I would like enough lift to fit 33x12.5x15 tires under it and from
what I've read from the gurus in this group, about 4" or so would do it
without rubbing. I don't have a lot of cash just laying around, so I
started looking at value kits, but I'll spend the extra if the $1000-$1500+
kits are that much better and worth it. The lift has to mind its manners on
the road too as this is a daily driver.
Thanks,
Dennis

Re: TJ Lift kit recommendation
When I bought my TJ it had the 4WD Hardware 3" lift on it (about $600 I
think). I am very pleased with it! I have 33 X 10.50 X 15's on it with
dished out Eagle Allows and have no rub at all. I don't trail ride it but
don't think there would be any problem. I think it might even clear 35's!
The only thing I might change it the anti-sway bar disconnects... there are
a bit noisy and I don't need them. If anyone knows of some slightly
extended ones that don't disconnect, speak up.

Re: TJ Lift kit recommendation
I have a 4" Ruff Country lift kit, about $450.00, works well, but no quick
disconects. I also added a SYE/CV to take out any vibrations, an extra $500.00
