Alright I'm looking for feedback, comments on the 4.5" lift I'm piecing together. So far what I've got is:

•RE 4.5 inch Coils
•Procomp 53111 leafs (not 100% sure of lift height but it's atleast 2.5")
•RC 1-2" shackles
•RE track bar
•Procomp 7031 wheels


I am going to be buying:
•RC control arm drop brackets
•RC control arms
•YJ rear brake line
•Kenda Klever M/T 32 1150 15


What do you guys think??

I would add some shackle relocation brackets

JPXJMOAB

ok, I've had no experience with them.. What will they do exactly if I have extended shackles?

V69_XJ

They will give you a proper shackle angle and more rear flex. There are some that will give you no extra lift and some that will give additional lift. Im running the HD offroad no lift relocators with 3 inch rough country leafs and the rough country adjustable shackles. The rear still sits a little lower than the RE 4.5 coils I have up front. I am thinking i should have gone with the relocators with lift.

I'll look into it after its all installed and see my shackle angle first.

If you are going to buy both short arms and a CAD kit, find another $100 and buy a long arm upgrade kit, even if it is RCs.

Those leaf springs net 3.5". Perfect for a 4.5" lift.
Will also need a SYE and driveshaft..
Expect to net about 5" lift..
May still get minor fender rubbing with 32"s..
I suggest RE over RC if you must have drop brackets and short-arms..
Also need rear brake line and e-brake cables, and extended front brake lines.
Extended swaybar links..
Bushings on top of axle for upper control arms..
Replace/modify stock steering..
Extend bumpstops..
And re-gear both axles.

This is going to be a non off-road, 2WD XJ for a while. Keep that in mind. Thanks for input guys!

SteveMongr

Will still need everything stated to have a vehicle that drives good and is safe.
If you keep the stock gears, jeep will run like a 3 leg dog on the highway.

JPXJMOAB

I'm keeping stock gears until I convert it to 4x4

spend the extra and get the long arms you will be glad you did

JPXJMOAB

I'm getting CAD and lower arms for cheap so it's like $250 total.. I'm not getting long arms, I have no need for them when I mainly drive daily

If you get CADs, you need adjustable arms or stock arms. After market fixed length arms won't be the right length.
