Rubicon Express 3.5" lift questions

Zoro · Nov 12, 2005

I'm looking into getting the Rubicon Express 3.5" lift, what else will I need to add so I can make it a 5.5" lift? I know I'll need coil spacers up front, what else? I'm not fond of blocks for the rear so will an ad a leaf do or will I need to run longer shackles.

Thanks

yes shackles will do it. Mind you out of the box it's going to end up at around 5" till it settles.

Kinda figured that much, I'm only looking at running 33's for the time being.

Will I need a t-case drop kit too?

I will make an exception in your case.

Get the 4.5" kit.

after all is said and done, you should just get the RE 5.5", because you should have the CA drop brackets for the height, so drop brackets, coil spacers and something for the rear, you can just get the 5.5" kit for the money you'll spend to get to 5.5"

Sounds to me like he isn't made of money and doesn't want to spend another $1000. Im in the same boat kinda, I'm getting thr RE 4.5" kit when I know I should get the 5.5" for the drop brackets and HD TB.

Another vote for the 4.5" kit, especially if youre already planning on adding shackles. The lower control arms are a good investment anyway, and with just a little trimming its very easy to fit 33s anyway.
