Rusty's 4 link in the near future

 

Meh, not at all a fan of the Rusty's name.

Their track bars are crap so that ruins them altogether for me, even if their link kits are any good

 

My jeep had vibrations I was in a hurry so I fabbed up a 1" TC drop not what I wanted to do but I was under the gun and had to have wheels. The SYE gives you the ability to run a cardon joint and be rid of the vibrations.
There are other points to this its been a long day. The experts can give you more input on this.

 

I just got a 3" RC x series lift with the LCAs on my 01. $400 and about 4 hours in the driveway with dad and i love it. Granted I had a stiff shock to begin with it doesn't ride much different from my stock ride. It's in my daily driver too. Got the job done and got it cheap. Would look into gettin an adjustable track bar though

 

it's what happens when you put duct tape over the check engine light

this kit? http://www.synergymfg.com/Synergy-Je...m-p-25694.html

they do look very similar. pitman arm, shackles, coils, leafs, discos are the only real differences I'm seeing. besides the MASSIVE price difference. never heard of synergy but they look fancy

 

I have a 3" RC lift on my 2001 and I have no complaints. Everyone hates on RC, but I have no complaints. I have a few other buddies who have RC lifts and they love them. Good luck on the purchase.

 

X2 I have a RC 4.5 lift we'll coils and aal Is the only thing left of the lift now but I like it. Does good for what I need. Put rock krawlers 3link long arm kit on and full width 44/9 swap and love it

 

Yeah that's true. I'm definitely now leaning towards the Full Traction kit. Synergy is nice looking but isnt a complete kit

 

the only bother I see with the FT kit is that it utilizes the factory crossmember. which wouldn't cut it for me. but its still a great looking kit for the price. I'd see if I could build a crossmember or have someone build me one

 

My RE/teraflex hybrid on Bilstein 5100's works great.

 

I know someone mentioned this before, but has anyone had any issues with the Iron Rock Offroad kit? I have been thinking about that kit (the 3" one) since I'm on a budget.

 

Build a kit if your on a budget depending on what you do!

 

I have their 5.5" long arm kit, which is totally different from the 3" kit. I love the lift/steering/track bar (all IRO), the customer service left something to be desired though. Kind of funny, everyone else seemed to get great customer service out of them.

 

OKAY! I have decided to get a 3" RC lift! Thanks for the all the help guys. THREAD CLOSED!

 

Can you install a 3.5 inch lift, then at a later date install adjustable long arms uppers and lowers/front and rear, and then install a budget boost ontop of the 3.5?

I'm concerned 3.5 won't be enough for the look I'm going for. I know the 4.5 kits require considerably more work so I was thinking I could kind of have my mechanic install the 3.5 so that I could decide later if I wanted to go higher. That way I could do the proper, complete install in phases.


Also - I was reading somewhere else that you'll need a front driveshaft? Is that true with the 3.5 or only 4.5+? 98 ZJ 5.2L

Last - IRO offers a 4.5 inch lift (claiming ~4.75") but does not include control arms and says it's a 'complete kit'. I was under the impression that I would get severe Death Wobble running a kit like this without long arms.
