Jeep Cherokee (Xj) Lift Companies
#167
Thanks for the lifts info. I narrowed it down to a 2.5 or 3.5 kit from Dirk at DPG and the 3.5" metalcloak kit. I probably would've gone with metalcloak, but it seems like a Wrangler company and there isn't a whole lot of info on it. I ended up ordering the 2.5" OME Ultimate kit from DPG. It's easy to go to 3.5" from there. (control arms, put the extra leave back in the rear, and swap coils). We'll see how the driveline holds up with the 2.5" lift first. 2000 AW4 w/242 and C8.25 here.

The OME stuff is supposed to be awesome! I might throw the same kit on my currently stock rig just because all the old stock stuff Is worn out and OME is supposed to ride very well.

The way things are going, the 4k I put set aside for paint and linex just might end up in the drive train.

I found Race-car dynamics (RCD) online- Had not seen their stuff before. Looks to be awesome except for the fact that they all come with AAL for some reason... 4 Link with fox/bilstein shocks.

This is a fantastic list! I wasted a lot of time searching the internet when everything I needed to know was right here.

Rustys does have good quality made in NA leafs, coils and the entry level full leaf/coil/shock/hardware kit is the way to go then all the other quality parts add them as you go along or can afford them, under $500 for the kit.
