I just bought a RE 3.5" superflex kit and I am curious if I'm gonna need anything else so I wont have to buy last minute parts in the middle of lifting it. I appreciate anyones help.

OEJ

Well that depends, what exactly do you have now. Minus leafs,springs and shocks.
I forget what the Spr lift comes with.

RE lifts run higher than advertised. So trac bar t-casedrop or an sye possibly. I would def buy some new shock bolts because the always break. but need more info. also what kind of wheeling if any do you do. that will determine if a t-case drop will be good enough, which it will if she's just a mallcrawler.

soooo....back to you.

Michael952

like OEJ said you'll probably a trac bar and and SYE or a transfer case drop

JoshMan88

Yeah definitely not a mall crawler. Ill be doing a transfer case drop until I buy the sye. Shock bolts are a good idea.

U-joints tipically go out after lift is put on do to angle change. I would lift rear spin around block see if you have vibs before t-case drop, front typically dosent vibe. Im at 4" lift no vibes, but I have shackles and basterd pack not just a spring lift.

Things I wish I did right away.

SYE ! The 3.5 will net you 4.5 - 4.75 inch of hight. I have about 1.25" t-case drop and about to buy a SYE.

33" I ran 31's for a few years and now about to put my 33's on today don't waist your money on 31's you will always want bigger.

Adjustable track bar... I still need one.

Last think is be prepared to break every bolt you touch. Use lots and lots o PB parts blaster. And have fun with your leaf spring bolts

JoshMan88

Yeah I plan on going higher later on. The 33's might be a problem cause of rubbing since the 97 and newer have smaller wheel wells I think. Definitely not cutting fenders...

i have a 1995 cherokee sport with 6 in lift and 2 in spacers and my upper controll arms are adjustable my question is the bushings are gone on the controll arms in the top on the frame of the truck are all bushings the same or will my take a bushing for that controll arm

NewJerseyXJ609

Oh you'll be cutting them give it time.

JoshMan88

Haha I sure hope not

Bellkrank

Hahaha X2 !

My XJ is a pig with my winch bumper winch, Sliders, Gastank skid and my RE 3.5" lift is sitting at 4" in the front and 4.5" in the rear after a year of wheeling on big rocks, and a little pre running .

I advise saving for a SYE

JoshMan88

I was going to see which transfer case I had so I could order the SYE but forgot and all out of daylight . Never enough damn time in a day I guess

OEJ

no need to crawl under it and look. just tell us what the display is on the 4x4 plate next to the shifter. its prolly a 231.

You will def rub with ur RE kit,stock flares and 33s. If not on the c/a's def when u flex her out.

I also bought new leaf bolts just incase i had to cut the old ones. i didn't want to be down because of bolts. I used all the new hardware that i bought and kept the old bolts. Antisieze is ur best friend when reinstalling everything.
