if you take leftlanetruckins idea you will see i volunteered my junk first. My friend has your 4'' tj lift and loves it. I wish i could order this but because i bought the jeep myself i got no money to buy any lift.

It looks like a good kit, I would be concerned about the exposed mounting points at the cross member.
I would also prefer a true 4-link over a radius arm for strength and axle geometry.

You could offer a 4 link with the same cross member and slightly modified arms.

Looks pretty good though.

How nice are the 2.2 series shocks? How much will they go for? (just the shocks themselves)

**Rough Country** · 10-24-2009, 01:32 PM

The shocks when sold by themselves will sell for $199 for the set.

Jeep450r · 10-24-2009, 01:39 PM

What shocks are they comparable to? 5150's? 5100's? Better? Worse?

I don't have any technical data for comparing them, but I have lifted two JK wranglers using the 2.2 shocks and both rode better than stock in my opinion.

How will those of us with frame stiffeners mount these? It doesn't look like the width is adjustable...

I see that the 6.5 in barely more then the 4.5 could you take a pic of you standing next to one with the 6.5 and 4.5 for comparison or if you one have one then that one I have never see anyone actually stand next to a lifted jeep Cherokee so I don't know how much of a difference there is. Thanks if ya do and if ya dont.

Stout95YJ · 10-28-2009, 01:07 AM

good stuff, looks like a pretty legitimate LA kit.

lazyls1 · 10-28-2009, 07:45 AM

Wow nice looking set up. I was just starting to think to myself, self....I might as well go all out(long arms) cause I know 3" or 4.5" I'll probably be unhappy with pretty quick. Good timing on this kit, get some good reviews in and I'll probably grab the 6.5"

I can do better than that. My brother has the 4.5 on his XJ.

Sorry to hear about your accident. What kind of bike did you go down on and are you all healed up?

I can't wait to get home and look at these pics. I'm at work and whatever you linked them from is blocked here
