Anyone know where to find hub centric wheel adaptors for the 5x4.5 to 5x5 in a 2" width? Stumbled into a good deal on some take off moabs and would like to run a wider spacer than the standard 1 1/4" spidertrax . I've searched most of the usual places and only found lug centric 2" adaptors. I just don't like the idea of the wheel being mounted two inches out and only supported by the lugs. Is there a reason why no one makes these?

I am not seeing any 2" ones on google. 1.25" might be all you can get.

Starting to look that way. Haha I'm worried I'm going to run into back spacing issues with the 1 1/4. I'm planning on running a 255-75-r17 and with the rubi back spacing and the adaptor I'm gonna end up with around 4.75 back spacing. Hope they don't rub my LCA's

Default RC 3" full leaf pack vs. others (mix?)

1996 XJ. So I originally bought the RC 3" add-a-leaf package, but now want to go full leaf pack in the rear.

Would I have an issue mixing components from other manufacturers (e.g., Skyjacker 3.5" leaf pack, OME 3" leaf pack, etc.) or should I just stay with Rough Country?

With a 3" lift up front I heard RC yields 3.5" I would like my vehicle to be level, and to not sag. So when looking at other companies, would I order a 3.5" rear leaf or stick with 3"?

Mostly on-road driving with some light off-road and occasional easy wheel.

For <$400 shipped, what can I get?

Nothing wrong with mixing manufacturers. The lifts are almost never what they say and sometimes when you buy a complete lift the front/back are still not the same. It's a bit of a guessing game though. Once you install it if it doesn't come out exactly right you can level with coil spacers or shackles. I added 3/4" spacers to the front of my Rubicon Express lift because the rear was so high.

Plus you won't find any love for RC here. Pretty much the bottom of the bucket.

No, but you could have major problems if not. Try doing some research on something called a slip yoke eliminator. Its highly recommended for any lift 3" and up

Default Shock only lift

I have a stock 96 XJ and do plan on lifting it in the spring. A friend gave me a set of 4 Old Man EMU shocks because he didn't like the color. I know silly but I'm took them off his hands nevertheless. My question is, can I put them on my jeep? Will it lift it at all? Then add springs, and such in the spring?
