Default RC 3" series 1 or RC 3" series 2??????
I have a 99 jeep Cherokee. I plan on lifting it 3" but can't make up my mind in what one. I was thinks series 1. Since im on a budget. But I would like to know what y'all think? It's mainly gonna be a DD. And maybe sometimes see the mud/trails. So thats why I was thinking about getting the series 1. But anyhow what y'all think?

I would go with the series 2 so you can get the control arms. Worth the extra buck and also what me and my brother both have on ours.

I'm not exactly sure but I know the lift puts excess stress on the stock arms.

The lower control arms set the wheel base, caster, and pinion angle. The uppers maintain the caster and pinion.

HTH....and RE FTW!!

Steering stabilizers are a band-aid that mask problems with your steering. You don't need one at all.

Why not just buy the lift that is the height you're looking for?
