Okay so I was planning on going with a RE 3.5" super ride but then decided to go with a RC 4.5" lift as of now. Just a few questions for those that have a 4.5" RC.

Will I need an SYE with this lift?

Are the Nitro 9000 shocks worth it?

I'm planning on going with the rear springs as I don't want to worry about sag and other problems with the AAl's. Anyone who has this lift or one like it, I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

I also read that the 4.5" RC can reach 5", this true in some cases?

they arent worth it.. you will feel every bump you go over

Alright, I was thinking to go with the 4.5" RC full springs with Monotubes, if that's possible? You guys have any other suggestions for cheap shocks that are still really reliable? Monotubes are hella expensive.

Go with the RC 4.5 and try to upgrade ($85) to the new 2.2 shocks they have for the JK

its a jeep not a sports car they ride like a tank stock

Oath

Lol yeah I went wheelin in my stock and it was pretty bad. I was just wondering if the shocks were decent or even made a difference. Different than stocks by a little I hope. I'm talking about the shocks that come with the 4.5" RC, Hydro 8000's or something.

well there will be no difference off road mainly people by "better" shocks for a better on road ride

Oath

Yeah I figured, it's a jeep, if I wanted a smooth ride I'd have bought a limo.

The rough is true, and the shocks are not the best but they will do until you want to upgrade. I like the look of the 4.5 with 31's.
