Or (my suggestion) aftermarket wheels with 4" or less of backspacing. For a 12.5 tire, I recommend an 8" wide wheel, and our bolt pattern is 5x4.5.

For shocks, I've never heard anyone complain about Bilstein 5100s. I'll be buying them for mine.

 

The 5100s say they're for a 4" lift. Will they work on 4.5"?

 

Yep, no problem.

 

I don't know what site your looking at, but check out seriousoffroadproducts.com for cheap prices on rubicon express stuff. And they sell 5100s as well, a word of advice if you are going to trim your fenders and run 33s, you may want the 3.5 inch kit. Rubicon express runs tall 'y 3.5 inch kit sits at 4 inches and I have PLENTY of room for my 33s with moderately trimmed fenders. My next tires will be 35s on the same lift. If you don't wanna trim, I'd get the 4.5 to run 33s which will probably sit at about 5-5.5 inches of lift.

 

Looking at the RE 3.5" Super Ride AAL lift kit and it comes with new tubular lower control arms. Does anybody know if these are longer than stock or the same size as stock but tubular? What I don't see is a bracket for the track bar, shouldn't the track bar be readjusted to align the axel back to center?

 

I want to add about 1" of lift to my jeep, but i cant decide on what to do in the rear.

I want relocation brackets, but which ones? Im thinking the low profile ones because i already have 1.5" shackles. But that may put me too high since i have "3.5" IRO leafs". OR i can do the regular hdoffroad ones and MJ shackles for .5" + .625".

 

LCAs should be longer. For 3.5", they should be 16" eye to eye. You do need a longer track bar. I highly suggest getting a double shear design. I further suggest Iron Rock Offroad's double shear design. It's the only one I'll personally use.

And I would also recommend getting a lift kit with full leaf packs instead of an AAL.

Rubicon Express is a great company. I'm bias toward IRO's track bar cause of my experiences with the company and the product.

 

This^ but re's double shear track bar is cheaper and re is equal in quality to iror.

 

I edited as you were posting

 

Ill bet you have sold 25 iro track bars. You should call them and ask for commission.

 

They are awesome. Whats wrong with that?

 

Not a damned thing blue door.

 

nevermind, who cares?

 

GOOD.....

 

I've bought 5 from them. I buy them for people in exchange for parts/labor/cash. I really like the guys at IRO, and I'd rather buy someone their parts than give them cash.

Gonna buy another for the 'Manche one day.
