Looking for a tiny lift and found this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251083362319...84.m1423.l2649

Seemed to easy and cheap to be true. Just put new shocks on last year. Do I need to replace them? Do I need a new pitman arm? Should me controle arms and brake lines be ok? I don't really off road it hard. Mostly just hunting and camping.
Thanks for any input.

 

I'm not sure if it sounds like a great idea to get 3" out of a coil spacer

 

thats got to ride like garbage that huge of a spacer on top of your stock coil spring and the shackles only give you max 2" so you would have to find another 1" with this route just get blocks and call it a day ultimate cherocar...

 

So If I just go with a 2'' kit front and rear would it be much better?

 

For like 250 RC has a barebones 3" kit. Shocks, add a leafs, and coils. That would ride better and probably just save you the money of upgrading later. At least compared to going with what you posted

 

With this kit your rear end would look as if it was squatting horribly if you have already worn leaf springs

 

A lot of people run like 2" budget boosts, Id say if you want to stay cheap get the 2". You should get new longer shocks, everything else will be fine. And if you have a lil bit more $ I run the "bare bones" RC kit and have no complaints except for the crappy shocks.

 

So would I maintain a ride close to stock if I went with 2'' leaf pack from OME and 2'' Coils up front? I was just surprised to hear the spacers on the stock coils give it that crappy of a ride.

 

The spacers on a stock coil will make it feel a little top heavy. When you put spacers on lift springs its hard to notice because of everything else affecting the quality and lift springs are more rugged

 

OME will give you better than stock ride quality.

 

The OME kit doesn't come with bushings for the leafs. Does anyone know if the bushings for stock leafs will work?

 

My jeep was bought with a coil puck (or spacer) on the front and an extra leaf spring in the rear. I don't think it rides terrible for a 91 but it had been off roaded at jeep jamborees and such by the PO. Compared to other lifted vehicles I have ridden/drove its really not that bad. Its way cheaper to do so as well.
I have not measured it but I think it gave me about 3in of lift

 

agreed ome is in its own league being the ultimate make your xj look bada** like it should have from the factory and be able to haul stuff without worrying about your leafs turning into frowny faces

 

Along with the other Australian companies... But who wants to pay 1500 for a 1.75" (IronMan) or 2000 for a 1.5" (Tough Dog) lift ? Haha.

 

Its only 900 for the kit from Quadratec. It just doesnt come with the bushings and I cant find any info on if they take OEM ones of not.
