So here it is. I am pretty sure i want a RE 3.5 Super Flex new leaf lift. Ive seen on here where people add a 3/4 inch spacer in the front to even it out. and i want to know where i should of not and any comments on what you have done. Thanks

i dont understand the actual question haha. slow down when your typing.
the RE kits do sit higher than advertised, mine sits a little higher in the back, it has leveled out a little, but when i go offroading and load the back with stuff its fine.

jonjon99xj

sorry, well on here i've seen where ppl add a spacer up front because they say the back sits higher and they want to even it out. and i want to know if anyone else has done that and what their comments on it are.

MasterShakeXJ

i left mine as is. you get used to it. the leafs are quite stiff with no weight in the back.

jonjon99xj

how much weight u talkin in the back?

Yes the front will sit lower then the rear. They do this since people often add heavy rear bumpers with tire carriers and when you do that and add a bigger tire it lowers abit. Now if you plan to add a winch you will definitely need the spacer. I am adding a 3/4" spacer to the front of mine to level it out for sure just haven't had the time. If I were you I would add a 3/4" poly spacer up front from the get go. I run the same lift by the way.

i dont have a rear bumper, and it will probly be quite a while until i do have one. so for now i'm happy with the way it is. someday i'd like to go bigger and make this more of a trail rig and not as much a DD.

when yall bought this lift did it come with shocks?

MasterShakeXJ

yes. i got it with OME shocks. was a special deal haha. not sure if it's still around.

jonjon99xj

MasterShakeXJ

why only 3.5? do a rough country 4.5 ive had two and they ride well people who say the ride like crap stretch the truth. they come with everything including t case drop. no drivline modifications at all even fully flexed with revolving shackles the slip yoke holds up...even though a sye is much stronger i stuff 33s with it flexes well....its 449.00 your gonna spend alot of moneyon rubican express to not see a big difference...... rustysoffroad.co has more reasonable components and uses high qulity stuff now thats my opinion.

if you put that lift on you will be pleased with the flex and ride. as with most any lift for xj. if anyone disagrees thats fine but im sorry there is no lift or stock xj suspension that makes it ride like a luxury car

haha tell me about it. that was the "legal" limit in massachusetts to the 1/4 inch lol
