Not true, bud. I did a full 3.5" lift on my XJ with RE springs and brand new 33" Duratracs for under $1k using Craigslist. Patience, and remember how many mall crawlers we have

Any time man! Let me know how things go.

I have a 3" ZONE lift on my Jeep. Im upgrading to full 3" leafs come February with taxes. I want to get new shocks all the way around as well. Im looking at the Bilstein 5100 shocks that are 46mm monotube. My question is, can I go with shocks for a 4" lift instead of 3"? I plan on bump stopping correctly and go more for tire droop.

Nope. They mail it I got a big *** tin a few weeks ago. And pappas off Taylor Ave in Parkville will mail freshly steamed bushels of crabs. Where they are still warm when tou get them air freighted in Box hill pizzeria in Abington will air freight crab cakes. I can also order utz and tastee cakes online

Not to mention Md won't honor my concealed carry permit and I don't have wait times on Guns , and lots for Free legal wheeling

Speaking of Donks....

I need a quick class on how wheel articulation affects size of the bump stop. I am running a little over 32" tires and 3" of lift.

Bumpstops limit up-travel only. Nothing else.
They keep your tires from contacting your fenders/wheelwell.

I'm in the process of putting some new 3" zone leafs in my 97 and it looks like my shackles are pretty shot. Anyone have experience with the JKS greaseable shackles? The description states they offer about 1" of lift which I think might improve the stance of the truck. If not, any input is appreciated.

The Rubicon Express Boomerang shackles are a better choice.

How much do you think 1.5 of the RE shackles will affect the ride/profile of the truck? I do tend to keep the rear loaded, will it balance out a bit with the extra weight in the rear?
