Lift Kit Company questions
Im try to find a 3" kit for around $650 in parts while trying to have at least a semi decent brand, also to avoid the dreaded death wobble , and im not to sure what im looking at sometimes(im new to the whole lifting thing) i found one by tuff country that seems like what im looking for but i dont know if they are any good, also this is my daily driver to i dont need to worry about flex or articulation too much as id rather have the smooth ride. any suggestion on where to look?

if your set on a smooth ride id go with a rubicon express kit there pricey but u cant beat the ride....ive had rough country but its a pretty bumpy ride...also id go with the full leaf packs AALs sag very quickly

the kit is normally 584.95 without the track bar as well http://www.rubiconexpress.com/Suspen...px?part=RE6025 . so for me this seems like a solid bet

no one has said old man emu lift. thats a really high quality lift from what i hear and no one that ive seen on this forum has really ever said anything bad about it. although it costs a little more then $650

Though I don't have this exact kit. I have the 4.5" which I got 5.5" of lift after it settled down. I wouldn't doubt it if you didn't get 3.5" of lift outa this kit. But rides nice and I've never had an issue with my kit. I would recommend picking up the upper control arms as well though. Customer service is killer. Call Zack.
1) http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=rustys&Product _Code=RK-300SP-XJ&Category_Code=sus_xj_kit 2) http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...gory_Code=ARMS 3) http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan..._Code=SUS_TRAC And if you want to upgrade steering. I have this kit as well and I can't complain about it. You can always do the ZJ steering as well which would be cheaper. 4) http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...egory_Code=ste 5) These are great for the shocks. * http://store.jksmfg.com/merchant2/me...ory_Code=Shock |

Why upper control arms? You can get away with stock arms on a small lift like this. Longer lowers will re-center the axle under the front wheel well, uppers don't need to change length at this height - as far as i know... |
allusion did but they are a little out of my range for what you get with it |
You can use stock the stock UCA. But from my experience. It rides nicer and considering how old the jeep is and those bushings. Might as well. I also had a issue with taking the stock UCA out to replace the bushing when I only had the LCA. The OEM bushings were shot on my OEM UCA so I just figured replace em.
Your correct though. You don't have to. But sure is nicer having beefier ones and new ones. Hell your already under there doing the work any how. |
