I know you guys have probally heard this a million times but If I were to get a 4.5 inch rough country lift would there be anything else I would need besides what comes with the kit...

mike albo

maybe a SYE depending on if you get drive line vibes or not

parker88

I watched a video on how to istall an sye and it looked a little out of my league...lol Is there anything else that will take the place of an sye?

tcase drop will.. you have an 88 so it wont be too bad. i've been driving on vibes for almost 4 years now and besides replacing u-joints every year i havent had anything else bad happen.... putting the sye on as soon as i have the time (and as soon as the jeep can move again)

i just finished installing the lift a couple weeks ago, here she is with new 31 mud terrains grab some PB blaster and spray every flippin bolt you can. with the rough country kit i got rear springs, performance steering stabilizer, and nitro shocks. pretty good kit, just spray those bolts starting now and you should be good when it comes time to install! i started spraying a couple weeks prior. good luck man and if you have questions, shoot em my way!

I don't think anyone mentioned the adjustable track bar.

My forum name is a little confusing cause 88 is actually my dirtbike racing number...lol I actually have a 96 xj. The 4.5 inch kit comes with a t case drop kit. will that one be enough or will it have to be dropped more?

parker88

Man I love your jeep...do you happen to have any side pics of it? Ive heard that about the pb blaster...lol I will definitely be doin that. Im not gonna be gettin the lift untill I get out of school so Im just tryin to gather some knowledge on what all i will need.

parker88

anybody?

Is it a 1" drop? If so that was enough for me

sgtskid

If it comes with the kit I would say it should be enough.

Also don't know for sure but I have heard with a T-case drop kit you have to run an extra bit of oil because it changes the angle of the engine and may starve the front rods a bit.....definitely ask around before you do that though.

Ok Ill check it out...I allready have a 2 inch lift on my xj. Would I be able to use the spacers in the front and the blocks in the rear with the 4.5 inch RC lift to give me a lil more than 4.5???

Rhett

Can someone please answer the above question? I searched found this but no answer?

Thank you

Yes u can use the pucks/ blocks, but I would alway recomend replacing the rear block with a shackle!!! Also by doing this ur gonna need a few more things; extended brake lines (not just the brake line relocation the kit comes with), longer shocks, & ur gonna need a SYE for sure! U gotta figure the 4.5" lift + 2" spacers =6.5"s of lift!
