Well lemme know I wanna go out... Havnt been to apex yet with the xj . I only have one friend with an xj (not even close to being ready to hit any trails ) so I'm tryin to meet more people that wheel cuz I don't like going alone!!

 

So I'm plannin on ordering my lift this month, I've got it narrowed down to 3 that I think I can afford...

Rough country 4.5" x-series
With sye and cv driveshaft
$1215+/- shipped

OR

IRO 4" critical path long arm kit
Full leafs
&hope the t-case drop is enough til I can do the sye
Roughly $1310+shipping

OR

RE 4.5" super flex
With sye and cv drive shaft $1450

What do you guys think, I've been reading every revue I can find, but for my price range I think any of these would work fine for my daily driver/trail rig (nothin crazy)

I really don't want an explanation about how to use the "search" , I've definitely figured that out already

THANKS!

 

Ok first, open your web browser to google... Haha j/k!! I have the xseries 4.5 short arm, and I have no complaints. People talk ish about RC leafs being too short and what not, but you want a shackle relocation box anyway, so.... Both good sets, do you get the SYE with the critical path kit??

 

Just updated forgot about the RE kit.

No sye with IRO . But if I go that way of course it'll be the next upgrade! And ya I would most likely do the shackle relocate when I have everything apart, and it's still less than the others.

My problem is I get bored with stuff too quick so I'm tryin not to do that here

And any recommendations on a relocate kit?

 

No shackle relocation brackets
Apparently joe thinks my rustys suspension is cheap.
Short arm 4.5 front lift
3.5 rear leafs.

My jeep is quite capable.

 

I went with the RE 4.5 short arm kit. My reserch for MY style of wheeling is yhe RE super flex would work out best. Plus my kit will only be on my rig a couple years while i save for d60's front/rear.

 

I just installed the low profile from FST, LeadFoot. Had to cut out the stock shackle boxes, but well worth it!

 

In the end there's always something better out there

 

And yes rob your jeep is very capable there's no question there

 

You did say they were cheap

 

It's super capable in my opinion and the stuff I've seen you take it threw all the time when we go out. Hell I even keep up with you with a spacer lift in the front, add a leafs in the rear and open diffs on 31's.

 

Was joking bud, a lift is a lift. I'm more budget killer than anything.

 

Lol , I wasn't trying to start an argument!!

 

I was just informed that the area known as "pipeline" is now restricted to all motor vehicles. Any trespassers will be fined and/ jailed. Same goes for the top of Far Hills known as Little Red Rock, which has been restricted for some time. And the top of Ann Road too. The BLM is cracking down on OHV trail riding now. Unless it is marked on the BLM site... But I didn't see anything online about marked areas.

This is coming from a BLM ranger I was talking to at lunch. He wanted to know where I went to get my Jeep muddy because he wants to hit some trails.

 

Were all joking around with each other no hard feelings.
