Well I have new shocks

 

for what size lift?

 

They were just oem replacement from O'Reilly's... So should I do the RC or Rusty's 3 inch lift or is this okay to go with.... I mean my Jeep is my DD through college. So if I kinda wanted to go all out if I do get a full suspension lift kit, as in 6.5 inches and 36's(because I don't want to buy a full 3 inch lift kit, then decide I want 4.5, then decide I want 6.5,) So would it be an okay fun temporary solution for now ?

 

You need bigger shocks for a 3 inch lift... If you want to go to 6.5 inch lift just save your money till then... Dont skimp on quality of stuff to make it "fun"... Not to be harsh but you get what you pay for

 

The rear shackle is fine. I have run a 2 inch shackle before. Its perfectly fine. The front spacer should be ok but of course coils are better. You will need longer shocks either way. If on a budget this will work but of course getting a $1000 3in kit would be better.

 

yes pick the tire size you can afford to run and start building around them. dont go in stages it's a waste of money
for a 3" lift you'll need LCA's, shocks, and a track bar. you're not going to see any performance gain with a shackle and spacer kit. you'll just sit taller
I can only afford to run 35's on 30/8.8 while I'm in college so that's what I'm building for over the next year
just dont **** your cash away on crap parts that you're going to toss out you know? do it once, do it right

 

I'd say you can run a 3 inch lift on stock LCA's and just re drill the track bar but thats just me and mine rides fine

 

that would be the opposite of my point "do it once, do it right" lol

 

Theres nothing bad with me doing that lol... The basic kits dont come with um... Works for me but whatever lol. Sure all thats better but whatever

 

no of course not except the stock LCA's are weak as **** haha. its fine if you're not playing on the rocks
but running a stock track bar on a lifted rig....
and you were flaming the guy in that other thread for not running sway bars

 

Thats the thing though lol i dont play on rocks... haha go to talk to huntingman or XJ Stryker about the track bar... they both wheel em hard and its not a problem at all. And if it was safe to run a vehicle like an XJ without a sway bar it would come like that from the factory, completely different if its not a pavement pounder though

 

so im looking for a 3in lift and rc doesnt make good ones?

 

RC doesnt make good anything. Trust me , I have a bunch of RC stuff on my Jeep and every single piece has failed me already.

 

Stay away from rc.
rustys, OME.!!!, R.E, fabtech, sky jacker, and bds. Good choices.
also ironrock off road...but they use rc leafs i belive.

 

so dont get rough country gotcha what rustys it is then
