What is your budget?

 

Hey Skipper it was the Avatar thing Thanks. There's the picture..

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this lift kit
http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=34&gr=-1

I figure it be a good place to start. be harsh if need be. I want honest opinions

 

do you know if I were o get the suspension system I previously posted if I would need anything else?

 

I'm looking at this same suspension system to put on mine too. I heard it was a decent lift at a decent price, recommended by trusted people. I also have the same curiosity as you.

 

From what I have heard zone is an ok company. They are a division of BDS, just cheaper. If you go with that kit get full packs instead of AAL.
I would also look into rough country, plus the vendor on this forum offers free shipping and a discount. Its all about how much you want to spend though.

 

I spoke with Grimus, he said they have a 3in aal kit but said he would rather use full packs. He did say it's a decent lift, as long as my springs were ok, which they are not. Bad sag here. he's working up a price for me on a lift with full packs.

 

Is grimus from naxja.org? How can I talk to him? Sorry kinda new... Let me know what his price was for the 3" lift with the full leaf packs.

Another question I have is if I get this 3" lift with the full leaf packs will I need to get a transfer case? I have a 1994 jeep xj

 

I also have a 94 xj with a RE3.5" lift with full leaf packs. I tried a TC drop first but had to go with a SYE kit and rear shaft.THey say all XJs are different.

 

Grimus is the rough country vendor here on the forum.

 

Hi all!

I've been on this forum for a while now, but I only get my permit in April lol. My dad is giving me his 2000 Black Cherokee Limited , and hes a gearhead at heart, so he'll be working on it with me.

I'm thinking of putting on a 3" lift with 31's, but I wanted to know if this combo will have any negative side affects on my axels and tranny? My Jeep has 137,000 miles on it if that helps.

Also, should I go with Rusty's or Rough Country?

Im gonna end up swapping out all the fluids too, as well as add a cold air intake and magnaflow exhaust.

Thanks!
George

 

so i am trying to find out what lift i want meaning how high. i was originally gonna go with a 3 inch but i thought about a 4.5, and it seems more reasonable now that i am making much more money and can afford it.
anyway, i found a kit that id like to go with and it consist's of the following...
4.5 inch front coils
full length 3 inch add-a-leaf
1.5 inch grease-able shackle
fixed front lower control arms
front and rear shocks
adjustable track bar
front sway bar drop brackets
brake line extension and a transfer case drop.

wheew...other than that is there something else that is a
MUST HAVE to go 4.5 inches???
and also..would it be better to get a 3 inch kit and coil spacers and extended shackles??
i have my fenders cut already and have rocked the ***** out of some trails..with goodyear wrangler mt/r's.
im gonna get some thick LTB's for tires so i have that all covered.
i use my xj as a dd until i get another vehicle in a month or two.

 

Check out the Re3.5 Super Ride kit w/ full leaf packs # RE6025. you will get a minimum of 4.5-5"s. I'm running 33s. Mine is a 94 XJ. AAL with shackles will only sag in s short time. My neighbor did it that way and his rear fenders are down now almost 1" above his 31s now after only 4 months with no weight and hits on any dip in the road. It was a Rough Country Kit.

 

the kit im talking about is from Rusty's. both kits are about the same price but then id need to get a t case drop and shocks and other odds and ends if i went with RE, where if i went with Rusty's, id get almost everything id need in one package.
Would i need a sye AND a t case drop with eather one i go with??

 

Those kits give you the shocks which is the price difference between the AAL and the full leaf packs.
