Long time lurker, finally going thru with a lift. *I dont have tons of money to sink into this, and I do drive it everyday. Just looking for a reliable/capable setup that I can occasionally wheel or abuse...will see lots of snow fun every year.
It is a 00 so I do have the LP D30, 8.25 and NP231 TC
Well aware of the SYE, I will be running the RR SYE and rebuilt XJ front shaft.
I have decided on a long arm setup: 4.5" lift on 31x10.5/15 4" BS
Originally I was interested in the "budget" long arm setup from RC...After reading all the problems with the flex joints (Need $200 worth off curries) I decided to piece together my own setup..and hope for something a little better for around the same money.
Basically, I need help to fill in the blanks for a moderate setup:
LA: Im leaning towards - Serious LongArms http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=77863
Rear Leaf springs: I figure RC offers decent 4.5" springs for the cost? Thinking I can save a few bucks here with them.
Coil Springs: I think I can get by with some on the cheaper end? Suggestions?
Shocks: Id love to spend $500 on these, but cant. Is there something middle of the road...but not junk? Or suck it up and buy Bilstien?
Swaybar Quick Discos: Want something reliable and easy to use, willing to splurge here if need be.
Track Bar: Want something strong, and affordable..but willing to splurge if needed (no RC or skyjacker stuff)
Pitman Drop: All created equal? Suggestions?
Steering stabilizer: RC?
Brake lines: I know there are stainless, and then just factory swaps. Probably will go with what is cheapest here.
Other than that obviously U-bolts and maybe BPE's.
Your input is greatly appreciated!
Am I on the right track of saving a couple bucks on some parts, but spending where I need it? (I realize I can buy Clayton etc etc but its just not in the cards for me)
Am I missing anything? (it is late lol)
