They'll still work. The front mounting bracket is just moved forward a bit.

Yes.

Ok thanks guess I can order them

I wouldn't spend the money on the RC lift though. I bought the 4.5 lift and it is a POS, bad bushings in the control arms, and the leave springs are to short.

RC will get you buy, but I've had mine for about a year and am tired of it. Slowly buying pieces from craigslist and here to replace all the RC components.

crfrider

yea im just gonan try and get my use out of it plus rc is trying to fix these problems and soemwhat unsured they will replace the springs if they come up with a fix soon so well c what is done

mr white

I also have this lift. The control arm bushings have been fine. The leaf springs are too short though, nothing shackle boxes or some extra weight won't fix.

OP ask them when you order it if the leaves have poly bushings or if they are still the rubber ones. One of my bushings went out (rubber) and I replaced them with their polys and the polys appear to be quality. If not, order the polys with the kit and put them in before you install the leaves.

I have this exact setup and no issues. I love my 4.5 inch lift.

i had RC on my last cherokee..... i hated it from the start

XJ Stryker

quit bashing rough country. Yeah there leafs are short. But I guarantee any body who calls them they will take care of you on it.

It rides stiff for a few weeks and will soften up. Been rolling RC for 4 years. Just bought my new 4.5 it is rough but just like the 3in it will settle and ride great.

X2 I've had mine a year (4.5 x-flex) and love it bushings are fine, leafs are short... Everything else is great!!!

Monster Mopar

I can't speak for RC stuff for the XJs but I have there leaf springs on my 76 power wagon and that thing rides knock your teeth out rough. After that I vowed to never buy there crap again.
