my dad wants to c it in writing- that it all good if u got longarms or control arm drop.im prlly gunna b running 35s on reinforced axles and regeared.

It will ride like an offroad rig. All depends on the quality of the shocks. Also long arms or control arm drops will improve the ride as well. Main thing is buy good shocks like Bilsteins.

33's...5"s of lift, 3 link long arms up front. Rides just fine. All the kits, when properly set up, will ride fine. If you have deathwobble, or a shimmy in the front end (i currently do), then something is out of whack on your suspension or steering or tires. You'll be fine, plenty of people daily drive their jeeps on 33's and 35s

Control arm drop brackets will greatly improve your ride because they put your control arms back closer to straight horizantel which is the way they were designed to work best from the factory. The ONLY problem is that they aren't the best choice for off road unless you're going to lift higher than 4.5 inches.

thanks guys for the info

tyrhine

yeah I have a 5.5 inch lift with 33's I use as a DD everyday haven't had trouble with it

Drewdertuder

tyrhire u got longarms?

Oath

Tyrhine, did you regear to run the 33's? And also, what is your setup? Company did you purchase the lift from, etc. I was looking to run 33's, so I was going to do a 4.5" RC with 1" shackles/spacers. Also did you have to trim to fit 33's?

I was actually quite impressed with the ride I got down the interstate. Pretty stable and smooth at 75. Same stretch in my 05 F-250 work truck is terrible.

If you want test drive my Heeps & make your own dession

2001 5.5 Rubicon Extreme duty w/drop brackets Bilstein shocks

1999 4.5 Rubicon short arm R/K shocks

1996 4.5 RockKrawler long arm w/worn out RK shocks

1996 6 inch Frankenstien short arm w/ Pro Comp adj shocks

You would need to drive/fly to Phoenix thou


I prefer the long arms--- reason is I bang the drop brackets all the time on the rocks other than that they ride the same

yeah i have 6.5" of lift and am running a long arm kit and 35s. when set up properly it rides amazing. but you have to make sure its set up properly lol. i installed the long arms and it didnt ride very good at all. i installed an adjustable track bar and it helped some but still wasnt great. finally checked the castor and all that and it was way off. made a few adjustments to the arms to put everything back in spec and it rides like a dream now...for an offroad vehicle that is lol.

Definately invest in some monotube shocks and some either CA drop brackets or long arms.

The ride will be pretty good with either and 4.5". But with 35s it'll be really tight without a great deal of trimming. I'm at 6" and bald 33s and come real close to rubbing and I've trimmed a good bit.

What kinda upgrades you doing to the axles and what gearing?

Drewdertuder

idc bout trimming or bumpstops it a heep.

broncofire75

Aight well you'll need about 5" of bumpstops to keep 35s outta there lol.

If you want the rear to ride well look at some H.D. Offroad engineering shackle relocation boxes. Well worth the money and allow your shackles to soak up some if the bumps as well as the leafs.

x2, im getting mine this weekend. they are sweet

i trimmed an inch off the front fenders, and im about to go an inch higher. the rears i did to the pinch seam, still have to cut/fold.
