I asked the guys on this forum what they thought of Rubicon Express kits
they all gave good reviews so I cant wait to buy from them
I also keep hearing great things about Old Man Emu's quality

Rock Krawler and Clayton are the best though

i run as well as alot of others run rough country lift kits and i think there great iv never had a problem with mine IMO rubicon express kits are way over priced and they dont even come with shocks. when u spend that much money on a lift kit atleast throw in some cheap shocks...

Do you have a Dana 44 right now in your jeep? If not then you have to find out what rear end you have. For that see up your going to be looking for 4:10 gear cs if. Its more of a DD then a mud toy and 4:88 if its more of a mud toy then a DD. Also a RC lift is great. Forf the $ you spend but kind of incomplete. Your #1 best bet is tot READ READ READ up on EVERY thing you. Need for a 4.5" kit and out it together your self. Good luck with the XJJ
