Whoops looks like your original message changed! But that sounds great. Knowing I can do it myself and it's a lot more inexpensive moves it up on the list.
What would u recommend for SYE and drive shafts? DS upgrade needed? Or does the SYE take care of that? Thanks!!

another thing you might want to take into consideration is the IRO is a 3 link... I believe the BDS and RE are 4... you would have to read more into the pros/cons but to be honest in the mud, the long arms dont really amount to much of anything..

Are there any real problems with the RC 6.5 long arm vs. the rustys long arm?
my real question is, why is there almost a 300 dollar price gap? they look to include the same general stuff, unless im overlooking something

Morning
Hi,
I have a 2000 cherokee sport that I use for fire department fire police and also a DD. I would like to lift it the 8 or 8.5 inches. What would be the best kit out there between the vendors with my jeep doing 75% street and the rest just trail riding for fun? I was going to go with Rusty but I see a ton of service complaints. How good is IRO and does anyone here have there kit to talk with ? Thank you, Matt

Why do you want to go so big?
I stuff 35's on a 6.5" (with the typical trimming).
If you want bigger tires, then what axles do have to support them?
You will gain nothing by lifting so high except a higher COG.

If you purchase a high quality 6.5" lift from one of the metioned manufacturers, then bumping it up amother two inches would be as easy as coil spacers and longer shackles. MHO, I would steer away from a Rusty's lift unless all you do is pound the pavement.
