I am going to buy a lift next week and I have been looking at the RC 3". Can I put this lift on and add 2" spacers and shackles for 5" and what else will I need to do so? They offer the lift with or without lower control arms but the ones they offer are non adjustable. I just need to know if im going to need anything else as this is a DD.

 

Would I be better off with the 4.5" kit? There's only a $114 difference and includes the brake line relocators and TC drop. The 2" spacers and shackles would cost more than $100.

BTW I have cut-n-rolled fenders and plan to run 33x12.50's with a 4.00 backspace rim

i just installed the 4.5 inch lift last week. Very nice install and kit had everything you need. I would do that before stacking a spacer ontop of new springs. Why start out with spacers when you will be getting new springs as well?

 

ive got the set up you described you want to run
and it rides great the only issue i have is my 33s rub at full lock on the lower control arms but thats it

 

all ive heard about the 3" lift is that you got to relocate the trac bar but i cant find a reloacter mount for on the axle i know they exist i just cant find one and i really dont want to buy a new trac bar and even if i did i cant find a trac bar for a 3" lift

 

I have this exact set up just skyjacker instead of rc. i think its a pretty good height

it works alright for me...skip the lower control arms and pick up some adjustable ones, ironman4x4fab.com has some good ones for around 130, you'll also need a tc drop kit, extended break lines, and a new track bar or bracket.

 

At what lift hight does it start to require a trackbar? If I get the 4.5" which comes with a tc drop brake line relocators and lc arms would I be ok with adding 1" spacers to that for 5.5" or will I need adjustable arms and trackbar? It doesnt go offroad much.

If I get these will I be ok

Along with Cragar D's 3.75" bs and 33x12.5's. I should be ok with those LC arms only adding a 1" spacer correct?
