I have an RC 3" lift on my Jeep, I am running 285/75/16 tires on 16x8 (4" BS) Soft 8s, I have cut the fenders up quite a bit and they clear just fine...
I have relocated the brake lines, but the softlines are still stock
I am currently running a 1" t case drop
will be converting to JK rubicon upper and lower control arms soon enough (with new mounts) so it will be a mid arm... we did this setup for a buddy of mine and it worked SO well that I thought it will just do it on my Jeep too
If I lift it a little further I would be doing a 1.75" (true height) coil spacer and a 1.6" lift shackle
I figure I will need a SYE... I am going to get one weather I lift or not... found a nice used one locally for $60 front drive shaft for $35 at the bone yard
brake lines, guess I will have to go the cheap route
for the shocks I plan to use JK Rubicon rear shocks and just cut the axle side shock mount off and reweld it 1-2" higher and run a home made BPE
for the front shocks, I have a line on some lightly used front ones (locally) for only $15 for the pair unless you guys think JK rubicon shocks will work with BPEs and a small shock extension block
other than looking cool, what other reasons are there for me to go from 3" to 4.5"
