Lift kit combos?
 
I want to know if you can mix and match lift kits? I was interested in the Rubicon express 3.5 inch super ride w/ rear springs and adding the Skyjacker 2 inch spacer and shackles for a total of 5.5 inches. Will this do anything to the ride quality and stuff like that. I am mainly doing this for my jeep to be aesthetically pleasing and for bigger tires so please no hate.

It'll work, there nothing wrong with it except that your shocks wont be long enough.

Depending on where you order the lift you can request the longer shocks. With the Superride kit the standrd RE twin tubes rears will work upto like 5.5" and you will need the fronts parts# from the 4.5 kit. If memory serves correctly.

RE lifts sit high. I got over 4" out of my RE 3.5" lift, just an fyi.

I got almost 4.5" out of mine. I bought 31" tires thinking I'd only get arond 3.5". Could have easily went with 32's and 33's with some minor trimming. I do how ever plan on having Frankz make me some of his long arms this summer.

Agreed. I went with 31's and was like :wallbash:, should of just went 33's form the start. Now I have a set of 31's I need to wear down. I was looking at Frankz LA setup as well, Im torn between his and IRO. Leaning toward a 4 link setup vs. the 3 link though.

What do you mean I will need parts from the 4.5 kit? like what?

Good to know about the RE kit. I was thinking about their 3.5" kit but with my luck I'd need a SYE kit because of the extra lift.

I have a supposed 3" BB kit courteous of the PO but the front doesn't look 3" and the back looks over 3". Then again I dont know.

I do think I need new leafs whatever I do. My leafs are flat now over the blocks. No arch to them at all. Not to mention I'd like to lose the blocks anyways.
