TC Drops are good temporary fixes to SYE kits. Although you could use both together, you'd just be wasting your money. SYE is safer than a TC Drop for high lifts IMHO. I'd just dish out the extra cash and go with that!

 

I got ordered a transfer case drop today. Cant afford to do the sye cause I would have to get a new drive shaft too and that puts the whole experience in the neighborhood of 500. I am going to go sye once I get back from another deployment or come into some cash, but for now I just dont have the cash. Plus Im not even going above 4" yet. But it is all in the works and I was on the phone with rustys today and got the guy to wave the shipping (not that much anyways) so I just went ahead and picked it up. Hopefully it will cut back on the vibes while I save up for the big boy toys

 

I just got a 1991 laredo. I want to lift her and all that, so What kits do you suggest? I do want to do it all right the first time, so what all should i do to her to keep her happy and smooth running, but have her lifted?


and i use as a dd and a mudd and trail truck.

 

Speaking from my own personal experience I would say to avoid RC's coil spring cause they are supper stiff.

 

for the CV shaft you can use a front shaft in the rear and this will save you a couple hundred....

 

How much lift do I got?! Ok here's the deal, I got the jeep from a guy who wrecked it, who bought it with the lift already on it. The thing has rusty's s300 coils with about 3" of poly spacers. Six inches? I would think. Not sure what brand leafs out back with a 2" block, factory shackles. Anyway of telling what leafs they are? The fenders are cut and it is on 33x12.50x15 mud tires with good clearance . I was assuming 6" of lift but after looking around at some others on here It really looks close to 4.5" lift. ???? I guess I could try and post some pics?

 

what just pull one from a junkyard... all the sye's i see online say they require a new cv shaft and then dont try to sell one

 

has anyone run tuff country coils?

 

your front shaft is a cv type shaft, it has the double cardon joint..
go to the junkyard and pull one.
Rough country is a lower brand and if thats all you can afford than fine but if you can swing good stuff(RE, TNT, Clayton) go for that!

 

So someone tell me what coil spring isnt gonna be so stiff. I want to be able to play with it, but I need the ride to be better than these super stiff springs

 

I bought the TuffCountry 3.5" and I am very pleased with it. I had to buy a 3/4" drop pitman arm and lower the TC and it rides very well on both highway and offroad.

 

I was thinking about upgrading my shocks to make this rough ride smoother. What I want to know is if it would hurt anything to just upgrade the front two and when I get around to it upgrade the back two. I really need to get this figured out and I actually did the search of the thread so and no one had asked this question before. If it doesnt hurt let me know which ones would really make things smoother for me?

 

Rustys coils are soft

 

you beat me to it!

 

Where have you been Zach? I thought you answered every question on this thread

I have found a set of 4" superlift springs from a guy here in the area, not so sure about the price yet but I think I am going to go with them, cause I have been wanting to up another inch. My question is this:
My shocks suck and Im gonna hit 4" lift so I can upgrade them. Im just gonna do the front two for now because that is where the roughness is coming from. I can go with a 4-5 or 4-6 inch lift shock and drop some dough on a good set. I have heard good things about the bilistein 5100 series and also the RE monotubes. Because Im military the Bilisteins are about the same price for the pair as the RE. Would this soften my ride and improve the handling. Im runnig the RC 9000 p.o.s's. All input and links would be appreciated. This is what Ive found so far:

I have a guy on naxja that says 150 a pair for the front one of RE shipped. Im not sure about the RC 2.2's but i cant find them in the pairs anyways. Does anyone know anything about any of this stuff? Need a better ride but need it to stand up to the offroading. The bilisteins have come recommended
