Hey all,
I have a chance to grab a 2 year old 5.5 Rubicon Express Extreme for Jeep XJ (Cherokee). It comes with extended braided brake lines, front coil springs, front control arms with braket mounts, rear leaf springs & shakles. Ready to install. It should bolt on lift to clear 35" tires with minor trimming of the front panels. Clears 33" tires with no scrubbing. All I need is shocks and this whole kit will cost me $500.
First of all, is this a good deal? The owner said he is selling because he's putting larger axles and tires, and making a frame under the unibody, so the lift is no longer needed. I asked how the leaves are doing and he said they don't seem to be sagging at all.
Second, is there anything else I should be thinking about that I would need. What do you all think?
Thanks,
Chris (Double Down)
