If it was in my price range I certainly would -- moneys certainly not an issue, there is just a certain practicality, functionability and aesthetic I am looking for and I think that a 3.5 with 32s would meet those expectations. Hylander, I am not sure about the lower control arm question -- well, they are certainly not neccessary, however, depending on what you are looking to do with your jeep, lower control arms might not be needed. I would, and I'm sure most would agree, assert that lower control arms are HIGHLY recommended in any degree of aggresive off-road driving. They are worth the extra $, simple to install, and Im sure you would want to uprgrade later to allow yourself more options, more control, and more articulation when driving the old girl. I might off course be very very wrong but I am comfortable in saying that I would prefer them. Keep in mind that Jeeps already have a high center of gravity and any lift is going to increase that center of gravity, making it exponentially unstable. Lower control arms will help to correct and stabilize that difference, as will other components, such as recessed wheels and tire choice, amongst other things. I think.

I think that I am sold on the RE. I need to find your man and see what he can do for me. I am extremely happy I joined this community, amazing in all ways. There is no community better than a Jeep community -- Brothers in Control Arms.

Take a look at the picture posted on the last page. That's what's included. You can redrill the hole for the trac bar and use your current one. I went with the RE adjustable control arm which I believe was $112 dollars more. I also picked up the RE monotube shocks for $250. All this came from Joe at EndlessMtnFab. The prices are very good from what I have seen.
