What do you guys thinks about this package I've been looking around on the forums and been searching the web looking for different options looking to lift after the summer

i think spending like 850 on an "ok" suspension and the other 300 on an SYE is down right silly..

really does not sound too bad.

You are getting a good drive shaft and sye kit.

Disconects, and a complete lift with stainless brake lines.

Adjustable upper and Lower control arms, full leafs, coils, track bar, etc.....

The lift kit alone sells for 895.

I would have to price it out but it does not seem bad at all.

I will concur with that. I have the x flex lower lca's from a Tj rear.. Am waiting on the uppers. Curious if they actually make a difference. They are beefy. I will say that.

As long as it doesn't come with blocks you are good to go...

Yea I saw this and thought the price decent for what it came with but I am still unsure if I want to just go 3" or 4.5"..living on Long Island having it as a second car it's mostly for the beach and snow and the occasional fire trail
Trip behind my house...hard decision

Personally, if I went back and bought a kit, I'd go to serious offroad and get their complete long arm kit with bilstein shocks. Plus the forum discount.

It's considerably more expensive, but it's everything you're ever going to need suspension wise and will last.

I know this would be the right way to go I just feel like i don't drive it enough to be worth it its basically just for the beach right now putting less than 50 miles a week I was looking at serious offroad the other day and was thinking the RE 3.5 with the 5100s which isn't too bad and I was also looking at the one the the procomp packages on tires that quadratec has http://www.quadratec.com/products/pr...content=block3
Which don't seem like a bad deal

Talk to frankz or whoever runs serious offroad here on the forum. I bet he could give you some good suggestions for your budget. I'd just go for rubicon express over rough country. I still run those white body shocks and hate them.

Yea my shocks are gone so at this point anything would be an upgrade this lift may be coming sooner than I planned since my tires are shot any suggestions on tires? I was thinking about keeping stock rims but I hate the look of a lifted jeep with the stock backspacing I wanna go wider with flat flares

Biggest issue with this kit is their 4.5in leafs. Hundreds of threads on this and I cannot believe that they still sell it like that. RC themselves know about the problem and are "working" to figure it out (yeah right). Their 4.5in leafs are way too short and they pull your shackle forward making the ride horrible, killing flex and giving too much lift. (I know that for a fact, I have those leafs) If you decide to go with this kit , call the vendor and swap the leafs for 3.5inchers and an extended shackle. Otherwise , nono.
