super flex 3.5 and 4.5 questions
Yes I searched!
I know the 3.5 runs big but does the 4.5 run big as well? and if so how big?
was gonna run the 3.5" (along with an adj trackbar), 5100's and 33" Interco's (that run TRUE to size)..will they fit with minor trimming? (this will be a DD and I don't want to trim the ENTIRE fender) or should I go with a TRUE 31 instead?
The 4.5 kit comes with a bit more stuff for barely any more dough so I might just go with that since I'm gonna have to SYE either one. I would assume a true 33"would fit a bit easier on this lift.
Oh and if I order FST lo-pro shackle relocators will it take a millenia to get em like a set of his HID's?
Thanks chero-gods

Yes, the 4.5" lift will be about an inch taller than advertised, but it will settle to close to 4.5" over time.
Trimming is going to be required, but adding the right amount of bump stop will keep the rubber from tearing up your fenders.

I have the super flex kit and it "settled" to 4.25 front and 4.5 rear. The kit has been on my jeep for about 4 years now so I think its done settling. 31's rubbed slightly when wheeling but nothing trimming the fender flares a bit didn't fix. 32's rubbed like crazy in the front which is why I went with bushwacker flat flares. I can't stand the no fender look on an XJ, but that's just me.

Im running 285/75/16 Cooper Stt's on a 3.5" Superflex. Yes I cut the **** out of my fenders, its a jeep, not a Ferrari. Rubs ever so slightly at full tilt, full lock, but nothing too bad. I agree though, the lift does run a little higher than 3.5"
