I do have one more qestion and I know it seems stupid but would you be able to take a 2inch budget lift just the pucks and put a 4 inch on top of it for 6 inches because I'm gona jack it up to 4 after a while and money builds up but I wanna know if you can put the two together ?

Hey Bryan was wondering of you can take a 2 inch puck lift and a 4 inch suspension and put um on together?

Alex,

Yes you can, although 6" on a short arm lift is not going to ride great or flex great, but I do read about a bunch of people doing it (then typically moving to a 6" long arm lift after a while) As well as refer to my post earlier as far as things needed at 6" - (Longer Shocks, A SYE "Slip Yoke Eliminator" or Transfercase Drop, Longer Driveshafts, Trackbar, etc) the nice thing is you can add the two inch budget boost to your 4" suspension lift and if you have vibrations, death wobbles, or other adverse effects you can just drop it back down. Just don't buy the bigger tires until you test it.

Short Arm / Long Arm are the arms that go from the sub frame to the axles and hold the axles in place while allowing them to move up and down, If you are going with 4" lift and plan on using 2" budget boost then get a lift with adjustable arms, this will alllow you to center the wheel in the wheel well if you go up 2" inches with the budget boost.

a "track bar" is what keeps the axle from moving side to side and if you upgrade your trackbar get an adjustable so you can adjust it as you go higher later with the budget boost.

Personally I would either buy the Rough Country 4" Extreme for $750 (some complain about the quality of parts but its the best bang for the buck) and some 33's and trim a little of the fenders off and be happy or spend the $1499 on the IRO 6" Long Arm and put some 35's on (with some fender trimming)

NOTE: Having done this numerous times (build on a budget) and understanding you don't have the money for what you should get, (My TJ on 35's was built on used parts that were OK but not what I wanted and I regretted it in the long run) I STILL THINK YOU ARE BETTER OFF SAVING THE MONEY AND INVESTING IN A IRO Long Arm 6" Lift and being done, rather than piecing together stuff that in the long run you will regret and won't be happy with. I personally willl either buy the IRO Kit for myself, or I will piece together the RIGHT parts, shocks, springs, trackbar, etc, new or used as I find deals that I can afford and once I have the parts weld together my own long arms arms. - I like challenges and have time to fuss with the little things I might design wrong in doing so.

Double post?

Yes you can if you have 6" lift control arms (or adjustable arms).

Not sure it's a good idea to go from nothing to a 6" long arm lift, in my experience it's always been best to build up as you go along (i.e. as you need too). I do agree though that it's a bad idea to cobble parts together. Best to do it right the first time.
