TJ's with Procomp longarm vs RE longarm lifts

I'm deciding whether to get the Procomp long arm lift kit, or the RE long arm kit for my 98 TJ. I have 33's on it now, but those are going bye-bye in favor of some nice 35s. Thanks!!

rubicon express it flexes better and is a way better kit then procomp

if it were me I would go with rock krawlers plus long arm kit

it gives you the choice of a four link front end for the high speed running
or the very flexy tri link front
and where the RE kit has chrome moly control arms the RK kit has 2" solid alloy steel control arms

http://www.rockkrawler.com/


but its your rig not mine so the choice of lift kit is really up to you

Yeah I had seen that kit in my 'gotta-get-it-soon' book. (4 Wheel Parts Jeep catalog ) That's probably a good idea. I do some highway driving too, but heading out to Moab with something less than flexy is unacceptable

forget 4wheel parts just call up rock krawler or rubicon express up and order the kit from them
unless you are having them do your install to
I would rather do my own install and save a little bit of money

and I have experience with both rock krawler and rubicon express
and I'm kinda partial to rock krawler

heres a couple of jeeps with the rock krawler tri link long arm kits

F**K! procrap. Do not do it bud. You will hate yourself forever. The reason 4wheel parts pushes procomp product is b/c they are the same company. I HATE my procomp lift. The poly bushings suck, as do the shocks, as does the customer service. Please don't waste your money. There is a reason you never see people who really wheel running procomp or skyjacker. Everyone is running the other lifts for a reason. Procomp seems cheaper at first, but when you have to upgrade its flaws or buy another brand you'll wish you'd just bought another brand the first time.

ok, call me the guy with the sorry lift but, i have a procomp lift on my jeep and have had no problems with it whatsoever. granted, i'm not on the pro rock crawling circuit or anything like that but i do take it offroad often and to some pretty demanding places (i.e. katemcy rocks). i do drive my jeep often on the street and again have had no problems. i have rancho rs5000 shocks though if that makes a difference.

Ok.... anyone out there with more pics of the tri-link front/4 link rear Rock Krawler lift? The long arm, about 4.5 inch to about 6 inch lift?
