Actually it's not too bad, but certainly not as smooth as a set of quality long arms.

As far as your wheel size vs. fender trimming.
Bumpstops will keep your tires out of your fenders and not limit your down travel.

Which Bushwacker flares are you running?

Proper bumpstops and you'll be golden.

The RE6130 comes with adjustable uppers. You'll be fine with those and the fixed length lowers.

It's a stock product pic from RE.

I talked to my rep after I got your email today and asked about it.

I'll get the latest parts list for you tomorrow.

My RE superride 3.5" kit was actually 4.5" when first installed, I have around 25,000 miles on it now and it is /still/ just over 4" of lift. I dont know what anybody is talking about their kits sagging....



On an unrelated note to Serious: ordered some knick knacks for my cherokee not long ago and was amazed at how quick my stuff showed up. You'll be my first stop next time I need something.

All lift kits will sag over time.
It just happens faster with cheaper kits.

I was speaking specifically about RE's kits....I know they arent the biggest and baddest lifts around, but they are certainly not in the "cheap" category like some others

I've been very pleased with how my RE springs have held up.

Nope.
You get a 5% discount on all regularly priced items by entering Cherokee Forum in the coupon field at checkout though.
