I ran the RE 3.5" on my 98 for awhile with Pro Comp shocks and the ride was great, better than stock. I thought it was an excellent kit.
I added a comanche shackle out back to deal with the bumper, and for travel with lots of weight.
How much does the commanche shackle lift with the jeep unloaded?
Thanks guys for all your honest feedback. It really helps to confirm which direction I want to go.
When I first put my RE 3.5 w/leaf packs on it rode like a friggin' dumptruck! After a few hundred miles, it's softening a bit and is starting to feel normal again with everything breaking in nicely. One thing that I read on here help a LOT, and that is to make sure you can easily turn the spring shackle bolts by hand. I had mine tightened down way too much at first and nothing was moving back there.
I may go to LA's in the future, but am sinking $$ into multiple projects that must be done first.
am i the only thinking thats way too loose?
