I bought a 88 cherokee that came with a Tomken 6" that had never been installed. I have looked around and no one seems to use that lift.

What are people's opinion of this kit? I understand that with 6" of lift a long arm kit would make a little more sense, as this kit only comes with adj. control arms. Also, i plan on using JKS disconnects rather than lowering the sway bar cause that just didnt seem like a good idea to me.

Is it good enough for now since it was free??

Thanks!!!

 

I tried to access their web site and can't. It is under maintenance. What is in the kit? 6" seems high for short arms as well as for stock steering.

you can see the kit on quadratec's website. Id post the link to it, but since im new here i dont know if that is allowed.

 

Sounds complete, just don't like the idea of short control arms on that much lift. Worth a try since you already have it.

 

They build a fair product. Most don't use there lifts cause of cost. They are one of if not the most expensive for not really any gain for the extra money..

I ran there bumpers in the past and there like I said fair but very over priced..

 

thanks for the replies!

Is there a good long arm conversion out there?

I think ill run it for now and see how it goes. Additionally I have a advance adaptors sye going in and I'm going to beef up the steering a bit.

I planned on using OME shocks, anyone recommend bilstein over them?

 

im running a 6.5" lift on short arms , they are adjustable tho , you should be fine if they came with ones , they should be correct length

 

yeah, mine are adjustable too. i think the idea there was just to recenter the axle, not to correct the uca and lca angles.

 

at 6.5" sell those short arms and get long arms or buy drop brackets

 

eventually im going to , but right now they work great and still get alot of flex there the RC flex joint ones, drop brackets are overrated

 

You can buy almost any brand of hardware only to make up a long arm package.
