So I'm getting a big check because some kid hit my jeep and totalled it. Looking at these lifts for the new jeep and was wondering about the adjustable x flex control arms.

Or should I get the cheaper one without them and with the new leaf springs?

Hi. I would go with the better one (First one) because sooner or later your gonna want to lift it higher and your gonna need the adjustable control arms to get your alignment done. Plus full leafs are always better than AAL's talking from experience... Just my 2cents...Tj

I bought the Zone 3 inch cause money was tight and eventually went for the full leafs from Grimus/RC and also the front coils from him and it rides 100% better...Tj

If money permits, always go with the better/more inclusive kit. You'll like the ride and adjustability better and you'll have less to upgrade later.

Couldnt agree more...I bought the 3" RC kit with AAL the first time for just under $400...since then I've added 2.5" of lift and spent well over 500 bucks in accessories that I should have gotten in a kit the first go round! Adj upper & lower control arms, adj trac bar, tc drop, drop pitman arm, u-bolts, and the list goes onnnnn...

Thanks guys. I'm gonna go with the x series one. Money definetly isn't a problem lol getting 5k for a jeep i paid 500 for. lol

FatBob

Good deal. In that case I also recommend the control arm drop brackets to go along with that kit. It will smooth out the front end angles and give you a better ride.

he is looking at a 3" kit I thought??? I have not seen any drop bracket for any less than a 4.5" kit

am I missing something?

either way, mine rides just fine on 3" lift w/o DBs...

Dear lord, I gave like $250 for my rc 3" shipped!

FatBob

No, the OP said he was looking at two of the 4.5" kits. Someone else later was talking about their 3" kit. But yeah, 3" should ride fine on stock mounts.
