I put this in the "lift and Tire questions" section, but I wanted y'all's advice too.

I need some more advice. I've decided to piece together a 4.5" lift that has the parts that I want so I only do this once. I have two options below and would like your opinions.

I already have the below...
RE 4.5" coils - Already Have
RE Adjustable Track Bar - Already have

These are the 2 options I'm looking at.
Option 1
Rear 3.5" Rubicon Express Leafs
Zone or RC 1" Shackles
IRO Upper and Lower Adjustable Control Arms
Rusty's 6 degree shims
Extended Brake Lines
Quick Disconnects
8.25 U-Bolts

Option 2
Rear 3.5" Rubicon Express Leafs
Zone or RC 1" Shackles
Rusty's 6 degree shims
Extended Brake Lines
Quick Disconnects
8.25 U-Bolts
RC Long Arm upgrade Kit

I will be getting an SYE for both options

 

I like the long arm option, and if you swap to jj the RC long arm system isn't bad.

 

Thanks man, question though. What is jj?

 

Johnny joint

 

He has a TJ now btw.

 

tired of the salt gurls? check out the meets-n-rides up above ^

 

Autopros put on a lift kit for me, rebuilt my front end suspension, repaired my transfer case, replaced my driveshaft (they will eventually do a custom driveshaft with SYE) and are generally just awesome guys and great mechanics.

 

whut nobody on this site wheels?

hit the link, but I aint a spacebooker, so eye's cant see nuthin

 

Same here sir. Says event not available.

On a better note though, Rear leafs and SYE should be here early next monday. I'm still going back and forth on the IRO Adjustable upper and lower arms or the Rough County Long Arm upgrade kits... decisions decisions decisions. Anyone here running the RC long arms?

 

come on Tim, wtf we need mo-info

 

I'm still voting rc long arms and use johnny joints. I'm not sure at the total cost of that, might even be worth getting a better LA system.

 

The RC LA's are already at the top of my budget. I can't swing the Johnny joints right now.

 

Well I guess no matter what you do, you'll end up upgrading in the future, from short Arms to long arms or RC long arms to something better.

That being the case I'd say adj short arms.
