hey guys i would like to do a 2.5in lift. Can you guys point me in the right direction and recommend some good lift kits. My budget is 500 dollars but i may be able to extend it to 600. i do want shocks and coils not spacers.
and at 2.5in do i have to mess around with the axles or control arms?
Or will coils, shocks, steering stabilizer, track bar, swaybar and bumpstops be enough.
Its my first time doing this so i need some help on picking a good lift kit thats a reliable brand.
The KOR 2.75 coil kit is pretty close to your budget. And no for 2.5" you dont need a trackbar, different control arms, extended sway bar links, or A arm spacers.
Im running them on mine with RE monotube shocks. I like the ride alot, they aren't too stiff though they are stiffer than stock, which was too soft IMO. Ive been told kevin has the coils specially made just for him.
I have run bilsteins in the past and they are a very good shock. I bought mine from kolak separately and got a good deal on the REs. He also can sell you the KOR stuff at a discount. Talk to Kolak to see what kinda price he can give ya on everything.
The Bilstiens are a great mono-tube, same lifetime warranty and quality as the Rubicon Express mono-tubes just a little pricier. The OME Nitrochargers are also a great shock as they will be specifically valved for the WJ. The best shock in my opinion are the MX-6's which are adjustable and are great for different circumstances, such as towing, highway driving, and offroading, although they usually run $100 a piece.
im a lil lost here so kolak is the guy the owns kevinsoffroad or what, im new so i need to catch up on the information
and thanks yeah i was thinking about going with the bilsteins also just needed some input from other who used them and the mx6 for the kit on kevinsoffroad its around 760 i believe a bit to much for me as i also need to get tires and maybe rims.
which one should i go for now i have 2 in mind the iro 3in lift kit but i heard the shocks suck on it or the kor 2.75in lift with bfyb coils and bilstein monotube shocks
iro is 600 bucks and kor is 680
