Lay down and watch it when someone has the motor running and turning the wheel back and forth. What you're looking for is lateral play. What you're seeing there might not be the cause of the problem.

 

 

Bit the bullet tonight and ordered a control arm drop bracket kit from rough country, seemed silly to do an alignment before adding that.

 

Hello to all. I am looking to put a lift in my xj. Im thinking a 3" would be perfect. I am curious if i need to do anything with the drive shafts, brakes lines, steering or any of that. Im looking at the RC kit basically because it has everything you need (so it seems). Are there any other manufacturers out there that offer the same "everything you need" kits that is better? Any other reasonably priced kits?

 

Rusty's is one of CF's most recommended lift kits. And it's on sale:

As far as what else is recommended?

 

Every other 3 inch kit out there...rough country is crap. Rustys, zone, iron rock, rubicon express.

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

Or, using the list above for necessities pick up parts individually.
being patient you can get components cheaper on sale or on the used market.

 

 

Holy ****! Get that fixed lol.

 

 

I can appreciate that but then a GOOD steak dinner is worth the money. This is no time to look for bargains. Good luck.

 

 

I don't know if that's all of it, but definitely part of it. Get you some LCA skids and weld them on and fix the cracks or get HD LCA mounts and skids. I personally just have the skids and have beat them hard without issue
