Allow me to waste your time...
So yes I have another lift opinion/poll/ discussion.
All I'm after is a reliable 3" lift. I want to throw on a JCR brush guard bumper and rear with tow hooks. I don't go extreme mudding but need something reliable to get through this mud hole on occasion. I want to get the rubicon super ride kit, but really have no desire to mess with an SYE. I'm looking at this kit. They are local. Offer a size able military discount and will install it for crazy cheap. So why not and if not what is price comparable? https://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/jee...xj-3-lift-kit/ Mud hole pic attached. |

You're going to get a lot of people telling you to avoid AAL's and white body generic shocks........
Listen to them. |

It's looking like I need full leaf packs anyways. My wife just pointed out that mine are completely flat. FML.

Might be cheaper to drive around said mud hole :icon_cheesygrin: . I would heed the warnings about AAL s and shocks.

Is that a Grand Cherokee? Are you talking about lifting that or an XJ?

A lift kit will not add any traction lol. They are all reliable, I have a 3 inch RC lift and it may be stiff but it's reliable. If your on a budget go RC. And aals don't hurt anything but build it right and get full leaf packs. The aals will just end up sagging again

I have an 01 Cherokee. I just happened to be up there when this guy got stuck. It would be allot cheaper to drive around the mudhole, but then what would I need a jeep for? Oh and please excuse my noobness. I just saw this;

You'll find posts of all the people who have problems with their lift kits. RC and RE are the 2 most complained about, for differing reasons of course. |
Pic a product and you'll certainly find a critic.

I started out with RC's 3 inch lift and loved it....for all of 6 months. Their craptastic shocks gave out fast and the front coil springs sagged noticeably within a year (with no added front end weight). I now have BDS shocks and most of their 3inch kit....wish I had gone that route sooner. My understanding is that Zone and BDS are one in the same.
