Think I'll want to go bigger?

Hey, so my girlfriend is getting me a lift. I said ya get the RE 3.5" superflex kit with aal's. So i've been excited but i have been feeling like i will want to go bigger. I mean i'm not an intense offroader now but i'm getting into a club and once i get into a club i will be offroading a lot. Do you guys think that i will want to go bigger. I was looking at the RE 4.5" superflex kit with aal's and upgrading to the full packs once i have the money. I would split the money for that kit with my gf

I wish I had gone bigger to begin with cuz now I have to go through the expense of lifting it twice. The bigger you go tho the more complex & expensive it gets.

murrayman23 · 12-20-2007, 09:36 AM

ya, thats my problem. i think i'm just gonna stick withthe superflex 3.5" kit then get a bb and i should be sitting around 4 or 4.5 anyways so. I'm a poor 17 year old high school student so i'll get what i can afford. I don't want to have to buy bigger tires, bla bla bla .....the bigger the more expensive it gets

hahahaha we're splitting it so she's really only paying for like 175 of it. Its my christmas present but i won't be getting it until February because she spent all her money on her family (which i respect). So i have a while to think about it. I can't really afford the full leafe pack so what i was thinking was getting the lift. And waiting for 6 months and saving up to buy the full packs.

Do you want height because of the cool factor?? KTMracer runs 37's on 4" of lift, and its awesome! just all depends on what your gonna be using it for.

That's what I'm gonna do....next summer, I'm just gonna get the RE 1" lift shackle, and their 4.5" coil springs....

Quick FYI... if you're still running stock bumpers and not much in the way of aftermarket skid plates and rocker guards, expect 4.5-5"+ of actual lift out of that RE kit, especially with the full rear leaf packs.

For reference here's a kit we put on a customer's Jeep early this fall. RE 3.5" leafs, stock shackles, with RE 4.5" coils up front (basically the RE 4.5" kit minus the rear shackles). Rig sat level, and the suspension was as tall as my 5-5.5" hybrid kit. Tires are 31s.

Man, I just started college and my girlfreind got me a watch when I asked for a lift...long story short I bought a RE 2"BB for starting out to see what I could do with it and plan on putting the RE 3.5 front coil springs on in a week. So my front is nice and level. I like your choice and think the RE 3.5 is perfect, mine at 2" handles nice for onroad and offroad driving......oh and I no longer have a girlfreind, but have a cool watch. @#$%^

Wow, I can not believe your girlfriend is getting you a lift at the age your at...wow, just wow.

BTW - Get full packs or you are wasting money. EDIT: Wasting her $
