I want to see your Short Arm Lifts doing WORK!!!! A very reputable person mentioned how great the Currie Short arm suspension worked because it didn't get hunt up on obstacles and the tires didn't fall down into other obstacles as much as the long arm suspensions might.. The mear thought of a short arm being as effective as a long arm I'm sure is blasphemy to some people but I thought I would pose this to you all.
All you Johnny joint suspension, short ARM lift X flex kits guys... POSE UP let's see how your rig get's er dun :cheers2:
I have not measured it out but they are for up to 4 inch lifts and I have 3.25 suspension. I am happy with them. The setup rides better than my stock shocks did, less bouncy so it rides solid but not rough.If that makes sense
Rubicon Express 4.5"SF w/3.5" springs. RE trackbars front and rear. Does everything I need it too. That last 10% my friend Imped is after............will wait for my next rig, not this one.:2thumbsup:
Check out the RC 4in "X" kit(i just ordered it today,wednsday). All 8 control arms are adjustable,greasable,and rebuildable, and have flex joints. Front adj track bar, front discos, s.s brake lines,shocks,etc. A really nice kit for $999.99
Hmmm .....interesting anyone else wanting to show off? Stock Arms whatever you'd like to post up as long as it's not long arm I'd love to see some stock hieght with tube fenders and 33's
That's just shy of awesome I saw that Jeepzcb09 I think RC and RE (RC ESPECIALLY) is starting to really give bang for the buck.. a lift with those Joints 2 year ago would be more like 2000 dollars in my guess ( because I still see them selling for that much)
Apex I love seeing another apex.. It's the one thing people notice about my jeep.. HEY NICE SEATS!!! lol
^^^ ya RC got a bad rep over the years but with all there improvements and customer servise and after seeing that lift with all the "upgrades" i could not pass it up!!
lol awesome I've never seen that game... did it let you pick your lift? It should know the apex comes factory with Off Road Mojo built into the skinny pedal
PS LETS SEE MOOORE PICS!!!
and why doesn't anyone make a Jerry Can Holder like that?
Check out the gold mountain trip report in the southwest section. All the TJ's were on short arms, including my LJ. The 2 TJ's are on RE 3.5" springs with 33s. My LJ is currie 4" with 33s. Here's a few pics of mine, but there's more in that thread. Nothing super flexed out, the trail wasn't too difficult.
$$ on the RCs that lift looks really nice glad your getting some use from the currie already why does it look like you still have your sway bar connected in that picture?
You have quick discos right? Just saying after putting on that lift i'd be disconnected and whoring up the bandwidth with the pictures lol
Antirock, no need to disconnect. My driver side rear was up on a ledge while the passenger side was down since I took a tighter turn on that line. I really want to get out on a rougher trail and see just how much it can flex now. Since that was the first run with the lift and tires I didn't want to do anything too gnarly, just wanted to get out and see how it rides. This summer, once all the snow is gone, it's on!
Not necessarily just johnny joints I like seeing what people can get out of their stock rigs... that's pretty good work.. that's enough flex to get you through a trail
You can get it with just disconnects if you want, but for a little bit extra the antirock is worth it! It's cheaper than upgrading to the antirock later if you decide to.
One of the lifts I'm considering just to boost it up a little is RC's 3.75" kit that doesn't come with Arms Long soft springs because other than a hard top my jeeps pretty light weight.. I figure if I upgrade as long as the lift I get gives me some fun while I have it I can sell the springs when i'm done and say I got my dollars worth.
lol jeep punk you know that's the dream lift! Well before the coil overs and dreams of Grandeur that looks like you're having some fun with it!!
I'd say save up for the RC 4" X Flex kit if that's the height you want. That looks like a solid kit. In my opinion, don't spend money on a lift to just "get you by." If it takes a little longer to save for what you ultimately want, so be it. Better than spending your hard earned money on a kit to just hold you over. But, that's just how I see it. If that's what works for you then hell, go for it!
It's pretty solid right now I'd say fenders and more uptravel for more articulation
