JR2011bu Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Does the kit come with control arms amd everything? Every bushing needs to be replaced on his jeep and how does ur kit ride? He isnt so much worried about rough ride as he is a good kit. Truck is used as his daily/ lake toy he just wants to clear 30's later on Yes but only lower control arms, not sure how many kits come with uppers that aren't long arms and what not but that's jut way out of your budget.. the kit included: 2 lower control arms 2 front coil springs 2 extended sway bar end links 2 rear leaf spring packs, not add a leaf. 1 rear extended steel braided brake line and all necessary hardware ( ie. U bolts, nuts etc...etc..) if you want more info i can get you the model number, and as far as clearing 30" tires stock suspension will clear 30"s as long as your suspension is in good shape, you will need some spacers up front though. This kit can fit 33"s with some trimming up front but I'm trying to stay away from all the cutting at what not for now.

COLTON94 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 the rough country kit included uppers that wernt long arms but im still shopping around till they get income tax check in, sorry for cluttering up ur thread just very currious in lift options for these things and how they hold up to the weight of systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR2011bu Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 No worries man. And if it comes with the uppers that's a plus, haven't seen many kits with them. And as far as weight goes you should be good, but like I mentioned if you want your monies worth get a kit with a full leaf pack. Unless you plan on buying some new stock leafs to do add a leafs just my opinion. After time the lift settles that's why RE runs there kits a bit higher than they say.

COLTON94 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 the kit has new leafs, i told him the only way id do the work for free is if we did it my way and that includes buying a good complete kit with all new stuff so im not trying to replace bushings and junk. i just dont know much about the jeep scene or lifting vechicals. im more into the lowered trucks going fast etc...

JR2011bu Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Sweet that's the only way to go, and I hear you man so was I before I moved up here. Down in south texas we drop trucks low and upgrade cams gears transmissions and then we get the tuned to remove rev limiters and what not. Then we smoke corvettes all day long haha. But Cherokees are super easy to lift man if you have any questions just shoot me your cell and we can txt. One thing I suggest is getting some penetrating oil and hitting all the bolts a few days prior up until the day you start the lift. This will help you the day of and save you a few hours trust me. And careful with the bolts that attach to the unibody, those like to snap under pressure haha. Impact tools are always nice unless your like me and all you have Is a breaker bar.

COLTON94 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Lol thats where im at is texas eventually im puttin a 3.8v6 outa a 4th gen camaro in my s10. Scooted my dads camaro around good so figure it will be fun and good for mpgs. But thanks for the tips. My Biggest issue so far is not knowing the good brands. I know rustys off road skyjacker, and all the huge names butt we cant afford those lol. Tools im not to worried about just gettin the actual parts picked out and getting him best bang for buck. If i do the lift cheap enough i may get to upgrade the audioz in the truck lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
