Who all has this lift and did you use the transfer case drop or do you need to go to a sye and new rear drive shaft?

If anybody could post some pic of there ride that would be awsome!


Thanks

JakeWI has a 4.5" RC, check out his albums. Also if you go to the top of the Tech discussion page there is a thread called Tire/lift setup, (Or something close to that), and you'll find a lot of people with the same setup. RC is pretty popular.

I think the t-case drop is a small/temporary fix to the problem. You might need a SYE further down or if you're experiencing any problems after the install.

 

i would use a sye don't do the t case drop that is a quick fix for issue that can only be solved by the sye and the cv drive shaft

 

i used the tcase drop for about a year then i got a new hd crossmember. so i need an Sye but im good for now.

 

I've got the RC 4.5. I am also using the TC drop and i do still get some vibes. I would go with an SYE but I have no job. Here are some pics with 33's

 

like stated before. I have and did have on another, the 4.5" RC lift. I have just the TC drop. If you have the extra money do the SYE and driveshaft. If you dont, then a TC should be ok. But depends sometimes on the jeep alone. check my albums. both cherokees had the same lift.

 

i just installed 4.5 rc on my 96 xj. definately go with rear springs and definately go with a sye or hack n tap. i put in the t case drop and still have vibrations. wasn't worth the time!!! o yah and you might want to grab some 14mm bolts with 2 degree pitch and nuts and make sure you got plenty of gas 4 the torches!!! you'll prob need it!! I did

 

im going with shims for the rear axle. im gonna start out with 3 degrees, then go from there. i only get vibrations around 50 - 60 mph. i rarely even go that fast anyway. yea, i drive like a grandma on pavement.

 

I have it with the TC drop, but had one built by JCR because the one that you get with the kit was a joke.

Not a great pic because the drive its in is angled funny...



I have no vibs in mine and have wheeled the heck out of it over just about everything you can find here in MI. Agreed with getting the full rear packs.

 

I have the RC 4.5 I just put in. I am doing the SYE on mine.

 

whats the best price you found for the lift with rear springs?

 

4.5" lift with transfer case drop, no vibes yet. i purchased the full leaf pack for the rear and it came with shims for the back axle. the shims helped out alot with keeping the vibrations down i believe.
