so the time has come for me to finally lift my zj.
here's what i plan on:

4" RC lift includes:
Front:
Lifted coil springs
lower X-Flex adjustable control arms
sway-bar links

Rear:
Lifted coils springs
upper X-Flex adjustable control arms
lower X-Flex adjustable control arms
track bar drop bracket

4 Nitro 9000 shocks
steering stabilizer

now in addition to that:
-scrap the track bar relocation bracket for a rear adjustable track bar
-front adjustable track bar
-front upper adjustable control arms
-tcase drop kit (already installed...lol)

I'm probably going w/ JKS on the front upper adjustable control arms, and adjustable track bars.

i've got cragar 15x8 soft 8s and am getting 32x11.5r15...(for wholesale price btw lol) not sure what exact tire though...will find out tomorrow.

any suggestions/comments?
will post soon with pics when completed.

Sounds like a good plan!

[sandman]

you will be happy with that set up.

Look good!
Hate to be the mayor of Bad News, But you will shortly find out there is another hidden expense.
Your front CV drive shaft will not hold for long if at all at 4in, the CV will blow. It does not accommodate the requirement for added length as well as a U-joint style with a slip yoke type. You will be fine on the road, Its when you start to do a little flexing accompanyed by a little skinny pedal.

Just wanted to make you aware, seems like you did you homework thus far.

Be sure to hit up Kolak for parts. He's THE man.

I've subscribed to this thread as you have the exact same plan as I do. But I'll be installed the Bushwacker Cut-Outs and putting 33x12.50s on it w/4.10 gears.



And like sadass said, I would ditch the CV driveshaft.

Call RC up directly and see what price you can get, I got thier kit plus the steering stabilizer and nitros and shipping for $670

[sandman]

i ordered from RC directly and it took over 3 months to recieve the kit. they lied to me over and over again saying it shipped, yada yada yada...... finaley discovered that my invoice was lost after getting pissed and asking for a supervisor. i would advise against ordering the kit directly from RC

what kind of front driveshaft should i get?

[rugermack]

I also waited 3 1/2 weeks for my kit, the manufacturer that makes the control arms were way behind. Not sure if they still are. The ca's are real nice arms, worth the wait IMO. If they are still behind on ca's, it won't matter were you order from it will still take some time.

[Travis873o]

K. Will keep that in mind. Oh and excuse my ignorance but what's "imo" lol. And any ideas bout the driveshaft?

[rugermack]

According to RC they have kits in stock now ready to ship. In my opinion

[rugermack]

I got lucky on the driveshaft thing, I have a double cardon type.

[Travis873o]

Double cardan means doble ujoint right? Cuz mine has that at the tcase end and cv at tha axle end. I think lol
