Will do thanks for all the help!

Has anyone installed an Extreme Duty Rubicon Express Track bar/bracket (RE1660 & RE1665) onto a RE 3.5" lift? I purchased the upgraded track bar but I noticed it's recommended for 4-6" lifts. Wondering if the threads will need to be cut down.

The hiem will bottom out. It won't work

At the lowest point of the heim there are still about an inch of thread left. Would it be harmful to remove about .5" of threads to compensate for this?

Wouldn't be smart.

If there's still threads on the shaft but the heim is bottoming out, cutting some threads off the end to thread it on farther will not be harmful. Just bevel the new end so the threads go on easier and the end isn't jagged.

IRO makes a great kit for the money, but ensure you get full leaf springs; not Add A Leafs

I am going to install a 3" rough country lift kit (the $255 one) and I was wondering if I need an adjustable track bar and/or a transfer case drop if the driveline angle is too sharp?

Still set on that kit, huh? You will likely need an adjustable TB to keep the axle centered, and you won't know about the TC drop till you lift it. Some XJs are fine, some aren't.

Why?

It's missing everything else you need for a 3" lift. Like leaf springs and extended sway bar links.

It has a leaf spring but it's AAL and that's all I'll be able to afford and then I will replace the remaining 2 leafs on each side with new ones once I can afford it. The AAL is only temporary. And are the discos the only other thing I would need?

This is what the kit consist of. I know it's missing other things but I don't know what those things are. This kit is still cheaper than buying everything separate because just alone buying the shocks and coils separately will be more than $255 and then getting just even those 2 leafs would be even more.

You want to lift the rear end twice? Why? Plenty of kits include full leaf packs.

That thing is missing a LOT of important parts... like U bolts for instance

SatiricalHen

you'll need to do the front end again too. No control arms, no track bar, no disconnects. That kit is a waste of $255 basically. There's nothing in it.
