What kind of $ you wanting to spend?

 

Rubicon Express makes high quality kits. If you aren't gonna wheel and you are just doing it for the looks but you still want a quality ride, Old Man Emu makes good stuff too.

If you are trying to do it cheaply, you have Rough Country and Rustys, but most people who get those kits and get "in" to wheeling often end up regretting getting them and wishing they had just got Rubicon Express from the get go.

 

I far from regret my RUSTY 8.5 Long Arm kit.. Thing is stout takes abuse and rides great.. Not CHEAP in any sense...

 

I cannot speak on lifts as I am in essience FRANKENSTIEN

 

The long arm kit is far from the best you could get for an XJ. You lose clearance because they are arms are mounted below the unibody, and please dont tell me you run a rustys trackbar. That is the worst product you could install on a jeep, there are NUMEROUS reports of these things failing on the road at speed, and causing wrecks. Its a very dangerous thing. Overall rustys is not a good company to deal with, outrageous shipping too.

also shouldnt need 8.5" of lift for ANY tire size on an XJ.....

 

I want the best lift possible for 3 to 4 inches.I'll have to save up. I don't wanna do any higher than 4 inches cuz I have a 2.8pos lol and I wheel her alot. Mainly just mud

 

Have you ever dealt through Rusty's??? I got my 3" SP and am VERY satisfied with it. Shipping wasn't bad at all either. I've gone wheelin with my buddy who has a 3" Rough Country and I get better articulation plus a better ride than he does (this coming from his own mouth). I know a lot of guys who are veteran wheelers and they all suggested Rusty's to me which is why I went through them. If you PERSONALLY don't have any bad experiences with them, don't put 'em down.

 

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about... Thats all the response I will put into this..

 

Well while you guys argue bout lift kits and which ones better then the other..... I'll be installing my HID conversion kit so I can get better light out put on my P.O.S.

 

YES

While they argue about lifts I will be installing 33's on my Jeep. And getting ready for a trip to OBX with the girlfriend..!

 

I wont argue cuz I am getting ready to spend 2 days coming back to the states and then I will be installing my sub box and JCR steering. Anybody got any reaming tools I could use?

 

we need to meet up like every other weekend or ones a month at freedom wash what do you guys think?

 

Yeah I could see that being good which one. I was thinking about talking to boneshakers down here and seeing if they wouldnt mind us meeing up there...


Oh and JEEP98b sorry dude no reaming tools here.
