Just bought my first xj n i love it so far hav done a lot of need engine repairs n clean up but cant decide on lift size n whos lift to use i will be doin some trail n moutain road driven plus also tow it behind my motorhome.. Also lookn for some xj owners in inland empire or san bernadino ca.. Were are so good trailes?

 

I cant say much about other lift kits but I really like the Rubicon Express 5.5 it seems to work awsome.

 

I have rough country. With good shocks and sweet shakle angles. My rig on the road dose pretty nice. I have a 3 inch lift with a tera flex 2 buger booster on 35s and i flex realy good.

Im replacing my coils with parts from rustys off road to get more of a off road engineered ride quality . But id say it is a decent set up for dd and trail use.

 

3 inch with a 2 bb fits 35's, how much trimming was involved?

 

I would say ALOT. I have a 6" lift and alot of trimming and 35's would be close. Heres how far my front is trimmed. Basically as far as you can. For a mall crawler it may be fine, but if you wanna flex, it will hit. Unless you have bumpstops that take away all your up travel.

 

Oh and with all the problems with RC, I wouldn't give them one cent of my money. I think there stuff is junk. Check out bds, 100% lifetime warranty, you smash it up they replace it no questions asked. There stuff always fits also, unlike other companies. They also own zone offroad, that stuff in pretty alright too. No lifetime warranty, but still quality.

 

Old Man Emu. The best suspension components out there.

 

Old man emu is good. I used to have there 2.5" lift on my YJ worked great. Kinda expensive though

 

Well worth the money, IMO. You get what you pay for .

 

Right, the emu worked great. Rode better than stock. But bds is alot less pricy and the have lifetime warranty.

 

True. BDS ($150 less than OME) does have good quality and is made in the USA... I'm just a huge fan of the Australian product.

 

i didnt have to cut that much on my 4" lift w/ 35's and i can stuff it on stock bumpstops and it doesnt hit my fender

 

i have alot of trimming. and i am tubbing all 4 corners to tuck more too
