So I am about to order a 4.5 rustys kit for my 96 the thing is I have a 2 inch spacer in the front and also a shackles in the rear and I am wanting to know if I left the spacer and and shackles on with the new lift would I run into any probs! The only reason I would want to do this is I have a brand new set of 33-12.50-15 toyo mts sitting in my garage and I need them to fit until I can order some cut out flares! thanks!

 

i have a 4.5 rc lift with 1.75 spacer an d my 33 12.50 tsl clear just had to do a lil inside fender trim i would look into a sye

 

Just think about shocks and probaby sye and the off set on your wheels.

 

the wheels are 15x8 with 3.75 bs! would I be better of just getting the rustys flares and lift at the same time? I know I should get the sye but could I get away with out it for a while?

 

i did need bigger shocks

 

You could try a t case drop but Its anyones guess if it will work. Your wheels are fine. Why nor just trim your fenders?

 

ok I lied the coil spacer is 1.75! and the rustys kit comes with a tc drop! I have no problems with cutting the fenders I just want the flares to cover up my hack job! lol I am going to get the rusty flex flares for 350! I should search more but its time for bed so with the 4.5 lift with cut fenders with rustys flare I should be able to flex out with the swaybar disco with out rubbing to bad right! thanks!

 

bumpstop. And you'll be having to do full leaf packs if you're wanting to keep your shackle on top of it. I think the add a leafs come with new shackles that are half the lift.

 

I not sure on if I am going with the the rough country or rustys 4.5 either way I will be going with the 4.5 leaf packs! wich lift would you guys go with! I woud go with this http://roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4x.html or this rustys lift http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...ode=sus_xj_kit wich on should I go with?

 

the rc has more with upper and lower arms and nitro shocks i have the same kit but with fixed lower arms and stock uppers i love it it looks good
