Hey guys, I am so lost. I just bought a Jeep.. 2 weeks ago. I am planning in lifting it as soon as I can. I got the cash for a good-- lift. I just need your opinions. I want something that will allow.. 33-35" tires.
I am looking at the Rubicon Express 5.5" XJLA: Heavy Duty. As seen on their site.. http://www.rubiconexpress.com/dynamic/mainpage.asp?folderid=185
However, with only 5.5" might even have some trouble fitting 33s.. and I would really love to turn some 35s.
And when I look towards RustysOffroad, they have two kits I am interested in. They have the 6.5" Long Arm kit, and the 8" Long Arm kit. As seen on this page, of their site... https://rustysoffroad.com/Merchant2...GY&Store_Code=rustys&Category_Code=sus_xj_kit
But the thing is, which is better? I want to turn some big tires.. And I am also really concearned as to why the price is so much differant. What will I need, what doesn't come with the kits? I know I will need a slip yoke eliminator for sure. I am not sure which transfer case I have, so I don't know where to start looking for one of those. Or how much they will cost.
I have a 1998 Cherokee Sport, 4L. I am lead to believe I have the 8.25" rearend.. but I don't know for sure. Aside from looking on a website.. I can only guess. Can anyone help me out with that stuff?
And steering? What do I need to keep that all in line-- that doesn't come with these kits.. ?
And-- on a side note, if you know of any other good.. 6"+ kits, that are good.. throw me a link.,
