Unless you're looking at a different kit, they RE 4.5 Superflex does not come with shocks. Also U-bolts for D35 axle. If you have a 8.25 or D44 you need to add different U-bolts. I will confess I didn't research shocks very much but here's the ones I ordered:

2x Skyjacker Softride Hydro Shock - Part # SKYH7025
2x Skyjacker Softride Hydro Shock - Part # SKYH7028

I'm not planning on doing an SYE/CV right away unless it has vibrations I can solve by shimming. But eventually.

For your question about the picture. It's still stock on 26" tires. Just order parts yesterday. -> https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f8/i-b...r-jeep-147133/

 

Ok well my jeep is a 2000 so I think its has the 8.25 so do I need to buy new U-Bolts? If so where can I get them?

 

Read the links I posted yesterday.....

 

I think Rubicon Express p/n RE1225 for 8.25 U-bolts but double check. I'm not sure but I think some places will substitute in the U-bolts for you rather than making you buy an extra set. Serious Offroad?

 

Wow. I looked it up on serious offroad and found them. I'am just doing alot of searching at these lifts to make sure im getting the right one. Cause i'am not going to be doing serious offroading at all. Mostly just trails small rock trails, creeks with little to no rocks and mudd. But no extreme rocks at all

 

I updated my post with a question to Serious Offroad about swapping the U-bolts instead of making you buy extra. He's not charging shipping or sales tax so his price is really good.

I'm planning similar driving as you but maybe moderate stuff once in a while. From what I've read the cheaper kits are going to give a rough ride over all terrain.

 

Serious offroad is giving free shipping on everything or just the U-Bolts?

 

Don't know if it's everything. It was free on the lift kit when I just checked. He's not the lowest on the kit but almost every place I check I had to pay either $100 for shipping or $100 tax so the fact he's $20 high on the price would still have been $80 saving for me. Sadly I didn't know that until just now.

 

I've been looking at this site the lift is cheaper and it is free shipping

Since you'd be ordering the u-bolts as part of the lift kit there would be no shipping on those. I'd have to credit you the freight cost since there's no way for me to do it on the site itself short of creating a special coupon....and that is a nightmare.

 

Cheaper?? $729 vs. serious @ $693 (3.5" superflex)
ETA: looked at the 4.5" lifts adn you're right they are cheaper by almost $100

 

so the ubolts cant be added to kit but purchased separately?? so now you have two sets of ubolt?

 

yes, that's hw RE packages their kits. I've no control over that.

I asked the same question when I first added them to my site. The answer made sense, there are far more D35's under XJ's than there are 8.25" axles.

 

Just a heads up on the shock thing. The RE monotubes are Bilsteins. They are private labeled 5125 series. Valved to our specs, powdercoated our color, but made by Bilstein.

Let me know if there are any other questions you have on RE product.

Eric @ Rubicon Express.

 

My kit showed up this afternoon. I haven't had a chance to inspect it yet. I'll give some feedback in a few days.
