You will see oil leaking in between the bell housing and the back of the oil pan.

But beware.. Just because it's coming from above in that spot doesn't always mean rear main. The back portion of our 4.0's valve cover gasket leaks all the time.

I ruled out the valve cover, so its between the pan gasket, oil filter adapter and the rear main. I'll have to fine a week and to do all that.

Welcome to the forum, is about preference. I love my rc lift. If I were you is get the 4.5 zone lift kit. There's a vendor on here that sales them cheap.

As they said, Zone or Rubicon Express if you can afford it.

Yes, Zone is good stuff. Not the best, but good. Rubicon Express is better than any of those three, but pricier as well.
