Lift Kit Time please help with brand & parts
Hello all,
I've got a 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ. I want to be able to use 33" tires
so I'm thinking of either a 3.5" or 4" lift. Obviously when ever I
look at different sites, the different brands have their little write
up saying pick me i'm the best because this mag says so. Well here's
what I've been looking for so hopefully some guidance.
A buddy told me to go get a pro comp 4" lift but they seem pricey
compared to some others like:
Old Man Emu 3.5" Kit
Rubicon Express 4" Kit
Rubicon Express 4.5" Heavy Duty Kit
Am I thinking correctly or should I look at a different brand? Also I
know I need to get some decent shocks but don't want to break the
bank. Do the shocks that come with the kids are they good or do I
need to upgrade? They talk about 200psi or 300 psi, 7 stage or 10
stage just wanting some recommendations.
I know I will need a drop pitman arm, and I need new sway bar bushings
so I'm thinking of going with the sway bar disconnects because that
would take care of those issues. Anything else I should look at?
Thanks in advance, just hoping to not break the bank and get some good
recommendations. I've read some reviews on the different kits and I
know alot of it can be personal preference too. I use my jeep for
daily errands and want to be able to take it to the trails in a month
or two.

Re: Lift Kit Time please help with brand & parts
Get the Rubicon Express 2.5" Xtreme kit or the Rubicon Express 4.5" kit. Buy
it from www.offroadtoystore.com Chris is a great guy to deal with, and they
give you free shocks with every lift. Keep in mind that you'll need to get a
slip-yoke eliminator and new driveshaft, which will run you $400 from Tom
Wood at www.4xshaft.com

Re: Lift Kit Time please help with brand & parts
Ok, I've not seen those or had anyone else mention the slip-yoke
eliminator and
driveshaft. Is that because I want to go with a 4.5" lift? Or do all
suspension lifts
require those to be replaced? Thanks for the help so far. Any
thoughts on the Rough Country
Suspension Lifts out there? I just read a mag where the 4" lifts are
on special for a decent price
and thought I'd add that here too.
Thanks.

Re: Lift Kit Time please help with brand & parts
Rough country is not a quality manufacturer. Do not buy RC, you WILL be very
unhappy. A SYE is needed usually above 3" on a YJ.
