The route I am going with my 94 ZJ is a bit different than I have done before. I have always had lift kits that use new lower control arms or long arms and I am looking at a couple kits that just retain the factory control arms to save money since it is just a DD. For those of you that have gone this route, have you ever had any problems with any wandering or death wobble when not using aftermarket control arms when lifting. Any added rubbing? Any advice would be great. Looking at these two lift kits. I am also new to the ZJ's because my jeep expierience lies with the XJ's. I just picked this up yesterday.

Thanks for the help

 

The front of your ZJ is exactly like an XJ, so the same rules apply. I would recommend replacing the lower arms, otherwise you will have issues with a rough ride and DW.

 

Ya i am aware that the front suspension is the same. So would you say replace front and rear lower control arms?

 

I would recommend it, but it's up to you.

 

Ok do you know the difference between NGS and CGS shock absorbers?

 

Excuse me, guys, but you're dealing with CASTER, not camber. camber is set with the ball joints and hubs.

 

Thank you for the correction. I get them backwards sometimes lol.

 

I knew it was caster, I just let it slide.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

I did a 3.5 RE Express lift in my 97 ZJ last November. I also did the RE adjustable front and rear track bars, I left the control arms alone.

That RE Front track bar is nice, it really firmed up the front end big time. We also sell the MOOG Trail boss steering stabilizer. Here's a link to them on our website.

Ok i think i have decided on a kit that does come with control arms. It is a trailmaster.
