hi,
so i was going to order the re mono tubes with a 3.5 super flex re kit for my xj 95 2 door but the shocks are out of stock.
i need either shocks that are as good and comfortable as the re monotubes or a kit that is equally good to the re. the re kit is 525 delivered without the tubes. 715 with tubes.
i need this lift as soon as possible so i cant really wait on re to get there shocks in stock and they dont even have the twin tubes in stock.
also what is the best combination with this kit for an sye and drive shaft is it advanced adapters and tom woods.
and please give me a cheap place to order them from.
thank you in advance

Bilstein 5100s and check ajusa.com

( i mean the bilstein) are they really soft as daily drivers and good offroads iam not that much with offroading 1-3 times in the year mostly easy trails and sand dunes but i do frequent road trips from 10-24 hr of drive so i need something that i can relay on and it should be comfortable at the same time
and which size should i go for since they say the re kits goes higher than advertised and i am getting 31x10.5 tires

Bilsteins will be as nice or nicer than the re monos.
5100s will do just fine

my question is should i order the shocks that is 3.5-4 in or 4.5in-6

Well if your lift is 3.5 then get the 3.5.. Lol

rys5311

yeah i know but xj88 told me on my other post that the lift may be around 4.5in since re kits tend to be higher than what they are supposed to.
and is the kit iam going with comfortable and worth what i am paying for or not

For what it's worth I run shocks that are specified for 6+ inches of lift and I have only 5 inches. I run em because I have a ton of down travel.
Ideally you should measure when you have your lift and go from there. But since your in a rush you can't.
I'd suppose either would be fine..since you don't wheel often I'd go for the 3.5 ones. You may button the longer ones out. Only time you'll damage the 3.5s would be flexing and using them as limit straps.
