I have bought my first jeep this past year and have been customizing it since the day I bought it. I want to put a suspension lift on it and have been looking at kits but am unsure how big to go. I want to go as big as it will let me without getting into brakelines and etc. I just want to replace coil springs and shocks, and other suspension needs. I have heard 3.5" is the largest, but I have also heard 4". Can someone please share their personal experience of putting on either size of lift and what was involved. Thanks. and sorry if this has been brought up previously, which im sure it has.
Under four inches... A billion options to choose from. If you want it for looks go cheap, if you're going to beat it to hell go expensive. If you're somewhere in between and want a nice ride for daily driving you'll be looking into spending anywhere from 600 to 1000 depending if you want to use brackets for trackbars or new adjustable, control arms optional but At 4 inches I'd get adjustable etc etc... its all in the handbook (read the newbie thread in my sig)
Look up zone lift kits. They have a combo kit, 3 in suspension plus 1.25 body. If I wouldve known about them before I bought my lift, thats where I wouldve went.
D35 on this Jeep.I'm just going to upgrade the shafts to chromoly ones soon.They're 30% stronger.I ran 35's on a d35 for a couple years on my 98' with no problems.The BFG KM2's run around 34" for 35's.
another question...do most lift kits "level" your jeep out? the front sits a little lower so I was wondering if most kits come with the coils a little larger for the front, maybe an inch or whatever the difference is?
check my build below in my sig, i have an 06 x as well and am netting almost 4 inches with this setup. used good quality stuff, bds, jks, daystar, rubicon express. just did some shopping and waited for deals to come up.
+1 but RE is closed, and just about no one has them in stock anymore. But the fact that their website is still up even after this quarter has closed tells me there is plans to re open... eventually.
Mine is a 2.5" rancho (came out closer to 3") with rs900xl and 33s. I just realized that I don't have any pics I can get to, so I'll have to post them later.
DD, super nice ride (courtesy myride adjuster and BD 1" MML). Had to upgrade the brakes a little (black magic+centric from mrblaine, no need for the vanco kit)
Update: snapped a quick pic while getting gas earlier.
