i ordered mine off rocky road's website http://www.rocky-road.com/xjbudget.html

i bought the shocks from someone on here actually. You can find JK rubicon takeoffs easily on ebay and craigslist. Heres all you have to do to them as well http://fitchva.com/jeep/?p=50
You can find other writes ups all over the web as well. Very easy to do.

an example of the shocks http://www.ebay.com/itm/JEEP-WRANGLE...#ht_500wt_1204

I got mine for 50 bucks, less than 500 miles on them.

Also got my U-bolts at auto zone. You can get block kits from autozone/oreillys/advance anywhere really and just use the u bolts from them, and chunk the aluminum blocks that come with them.

 

But like I said before you can get these



For about 35 bucks
I just put them on my xj and got 2.25 of lift and look at the rear flex it gave me








Rides like a champ!!
And then some 2 inch spacer up front leaves you with tons of money to blow on some real nice shocks

 

Where did you get these from?

 

I just put on the RC 3" Series II. I think it ended up being $350 shipped. So far im happy with it. I also bough new u-bolts and made a 1" tc drop out of some box steel. So probably ended up around $400 for the lift. Im happy with it so far. New LCA's are a big plus to the lift. Just another option for you.

 

The problem is that you will never get an agreement on what you should do - because everyone has different experiences with what they have or had used.

It does not pay to go cheap, but then again sometime you just don't have a choice.... I UNDERSTAND THIS.

When I was looking at CHEAP WINCHES I asked a client of mine that I designed their off road supply website which one to get.... He said almost all of them except Warn and one other (both not in my budget) are made in China - but he said Rough Country stands behind their junk and he was right.... I had a problem with my winch but they sent a new winch out with out any hassles.

With that said, I would either go ultra cheap (coil spacer and shackles) or at least spend enough to get New Springs Front and Rear, Shocks, and Lower Control Arms up front.

PS: I went cheap on my last lift and had fun with it, but regretted not spending more money for something better, this time I will spend the extra money for something better.... but as always there are compromises unless you have an unlimited budget - and even then you usually still have compromises.

Good Luck,

Bryan

 

I got mine from a buddy fir $10. They sell these exact ones at auto zone, advance and oreillys for around 35 bucks. I've been to all these stores and have seen them for myself. There a in stock on the shelf part.

 

x2 and they do require just alittle modification to fit

 

not if you get the right one. theres one with a longer bushing and bolt hole. thats the one you need to cut down.

 

id do shackle and spacers and start saving for an iron rock long arm kit... they do better on the road and obviously beast off road. and they look damn good.

 

get the budget boost so you can build under it. I'm getting a 3 inch to go under my shackles and spacers to go to 5 (not keeping blocks lol )

 

^^ same here.
And my flex with these shackles and spacers can be seen in the cuts on my 31 bfg's lol all I'm waiting on to go up to 5inch is to go to the junk yard for the bastard pack.

 

I just lifted my jeep 3.5" for under 150 bucks...well kinda.

S10 leafs and everything that comes with it and need - 70 bucks
tbird coils - 40 bucks
1 inch tcase drop - 10 bucks
New ublots - 20 bucks
New track bar bushing- 11 bucks
------------------------------
RC shocks - 150
4 brand new MT 265/75/15 - ~450

 

I ordered a 2" aal and spacer kit from fatbobsgarage on ebay and got it for $70 shipped to my door honestly if your looking for a cheap lift to start out with that would be the best choice. You can get the spacer and shackle kit for around the same price too. I sold my kit cuz I plan on getting the full 3" kit from zone offroad with new leaf packs, lift springs and shocks. Go to the vendor section and allen can get you a discount on zone offroad products. With his discount I think its like 20 buckse cheaper than everywhere else I seen and thats with upgraded nitro shocks. Of course you can go with the hydro shocks and get it for cheaper. In my opinion id go with a full suspension kit the first time and save yourself time and money down the road but in the end its your call. Heres the link to his vendors thread pm him and ask about the 3" kit with leaf packs and he'll reply with prices on every option of lift. Hope this helps ya bud.
