Check the price of shipping first. They tried to stick me with $100 shipping on the OTK steering. Haha no thanks.

I got my rubicon express lift for less than a rustys lift because of shipping. They wanted 140 to ship a 3 inch lift and I am less than two hours away from their shop.

Have a quick question about wheels. I've got an 01 cherokee with a 6.5inch lift. How wide do my wheels need to be? Is 8 inches wide enough to run a 35x12.50 tire (fenders are trimed) thanks!

8" wide wheels are great for 12.5" tires.

I don't plan to cut or trim fenders. Will run Stock bumpers for a while. Running 31x10.5 ATS on road but might get 30x9.5 MTs for off road when I disconnect for full flex. Lockers front and rear are in the budget soon after I lift.

I have a rustys 6.5 short arm on my 93 which is how I bought it and I would like to do long arms before too long.. What all do I need to get? Do I need to buy the rustys long arm uppers and lowers or should I go with a different brand?

Whatever brand you want, you will need son long *** brake lines and probably some different front shocks.
