I'll be getting a jeep soon and already thinking about what i want to do. How does this sound?

Rough Country 6.5" lift
Rough Country Steering Stabilizer
BF Goodrich Mud Terrains 33x12.5x15
Cragar Soft 8 15x8

or

Rough Country 4.5" lift
Rough Country Steering Stabilizer
BF Goodrich All Terrains 32x12.5x15
Cragar Soft 8 15x8


Couple of questions though....

Would I have to buy anything else, or can I just run it like that?

Also, with a 4.5" lift, is there any trimming required to run 32's?

Which do you guys think is better?

 

4.5" is plenty and i would trim for 32's just for a lil' extra room for flex,but you will need a sye(slip yoke eliminator , brake lines, and all the parts up front,like track bar and what not,so you dont get death wobble

 

Do I abslolutley need a sye?

I won't be doing much of trail riding. I live close (10 miles) to a beach that you can drive on and I'll go there once or twice a week. I'll use it in the snow and occasional mudding but that's it. So nothing to extreme.

 

the sye will eliminate the vibration u will have,or you can do a transfer case drop of about 1"-2"

 

So I could buy this

with the control arm drop kit and steering stabilizer and be fine?

 

looks like it has everythin you will need,and it would be better in the long run to get a full leaf pack instead of AAL,the AAL will eventually sag and a full leaf pack will last longer and ride better

 

so could i do that lift without the control arm drop kit?

 

its not if you get it,its just when you get it lol,i would get it if i was you,when you got that high in a lift you will need more and more parts

 

post a thread and have the link to that lift and ask for more opinions on it,itll be better and get a better idea with more people

 

The shock bushings go out quick and a long arm or drop makes a hell of a difference i run that kit no sye no vibs

 

oh,well every jeep is a lil' different,my buddys xj has a 3" lift and had to get a sye cuz it vibrated way to bad

 

Or tcase drop

 

So basically, I can buy the lift and if I start getting vibes then i can by either an sye or a control arm drop kit?

 

yes

 

thanks guys
big help

and you think the 4.5 is better than the 6.5?
