4.5" lift with fixed lcas

is it possible to run 4.5" coils and leaf packs on the fixed control arms that came from the re 3.5 softride kit? i am thinking about puttin in rustys 4.5 coils and packs and do not have enough money for the arms. how would it work out? possible? thanks

They willl be fine. The LCA for the 3.5" lift is the same for the 4.5.

yeah you can... Currently I got at least 5.5" up front and fixed lowers and it's not bad, but I keep kicking myself for not getting the adjustable ones!

I'm running 4.5" and stock control arms. No problems.

Can i keep the ones tha come with the 3" skyjacker kit, if i add a 2"-3" BB from RR?

So am I, but the ride will be smoother and the articulation will be greater when longer arms are installed. The pinion angle is a bit off as well.

I don't have any problems worth mentioning either, and I've wheeled mine pretty hard, but that does not discount that longer arms would be an improvement.

would i need a tcase drop or an sye? any probs in that area

It depends what year your Jeep is, but odds are very good that you'll need either the t-case drop or an SYE. I'd vote for the SYE because even with the drop, vibes aren't always resolved.

With a 4.5" lift, the control arms are at a pretty steep angle and ride quality sucks. There's a few roads around Ft Fun that I hated driving on because they'd rattle change out of my bin, and things moved around...Drop Brackets make a huge difference in that area. Where are you in Ft Fun? I might be able to stop by and lend a hand in the near future...

i am near drake and shields. just off of drake. where are you?
