im 16 i just got my 1996 cherokee sport 4.0 ho and im getting a 3.5" lift i was thinking a Rubicon Express 3.5 superflex with a add a leaf but i want your guys opinion on what is the best 3.5" lift for the buck i need to stay under 600 because i still have to get tires after that and hopefully front and rear warn bumpers

If you put one together yourself you could do a decent kit for under $400. Hell I got my 6.5" coils, upper & lower CA's, & 5" rear leafs for $250. Which leaves me more loot for other stuff.

but my dad wont let me go over a 3.5 for now ill prolly sneek in some coil spacers later

Go with the full leaf packs instead of the AAL as the tend to sag easier and sooner, you will not regret it. Also the as nice as the warn bumpers are they are huge, heavy and overly expensive. If I did it again I would have gone with a lighter bumper combo and one that covered the rear quater panel area.

thanks for the pics man i think im ganna stick with my original plan of the RE 3.5 superflex with AAL's because the full packs are pricey and once they start to sag i will get the packs and as for bumpers im not sure what to get yet can someone help with that

treyxj

go with the zone 3 inch xj lift for only $290 it is the best for the money. i love it. really good quality

Sry to jack the thread here but the ZOne 3 in doesn't come with lowers CA's but the Rc does.Go with the RC more for your money. I was going to get the Zone but RC just feels better.

You will need shocks, a transfer case drop (you can make this) or an SYE and driveshaft(which you probably won't need). You should also relocate your front brakelines.

That takes care of the shocks, and is cheaper.

RE is great, you can get it with the full leaf's and shocks here:

ok thats the RE super ride not the super flex and do i absolutly have to get the transfer case drop
superflex is better rite because it also has disco's

Are those shocks that come with the RE kit ride decent?

I would rather pay for the full packs and either make or buy disco's afterward.
I would expect that you will need a TC drop, but every jeep is different. It should be very basic to make/fab the drop.

I have had the Monotubes and I really like them.

Never had the D3000 ones, but the big price difference should give a hint
