Calling everyone with a RE 4.5 SA kit!

Now im moving up to the RE 4.5" coils, with currie ACA's all around and Im wondering how you guys like this kit? How are the road manners and how does it handle offroad? Thanks for any info on the 4.5" SA kit...

One of the biggest factors with your on road ride quality is going to be your shocks. If you already have Currie arms, the only RE product your adding is the springs and possibly trackbar(s). That being said, I have a 3.5" RE kit which is essentially the same and I've been very satisfied with both on and off road performance.

I have the RE 4.5'' Coils with ProComp MX6 shocks. I'm very happy with the kit. The ride can be a little rough sometimes but its tolerable. I haven't had any issues offroad with it. I still get decent flex from it. I'll be upgrading to long arms sometime this year though.

I have a 04 Rubicon with 3.5 RE Super Flex, 1" body and Old Man Emu Shocks. I have no problems at all on or off road. The one factor that can really affect your ride is tires and air pressure, I have MTR's and run them around 30 on the street, any more and it gets rough.

I have the 4.5" SA kit. Can get a bit bouncy on rough roads, but other than that I am extremely satisfied

Your going to get the same flex with any short arm kit. The length of your shocks is going to determine down travel
