Heavy load will hold up longer but also ride a lot rougher and probably won't flex as well.

Just a quick question; will i need an adjustable track bar at 4"? I think it is one of things that isn't completely necessary until 4.5" but it is something I should probably get correct?

HI sorry if this has been asked. I've been told good things about Deaver coils Does anyone have deaver on a grand cherokee or do they even make them for G.C.?? I checked their website out but the info is lacking.

I'm looking for a really great 3-3.5" and plan on running 31-32's, locked. (94 ZJ, 5.2L) I'm very new to jeep, lifts etc.. and really want a great quality suspension lift for all of utah trails (northern,southern) great offroad and on. Everyone's gave me great info so far and just want to see what the forum thinks.. thanks in advance.

4 ln will most likely require one. Or at least relocate the stock one.

Im sitting at 19" hub to flare from the PO front and rear which I believe is 1.5 inches in the front and 2 in the back? I have 31" warden A/T treadwrights on there way here. I want to try and fit them without lifting more or removing my flares. I have my front bumper endcaps removed and inner fender liners removed. I fully expect to trim a little and will eventually either get a 3 inch kit or trim the fenders and get some bushwackers. I also have 4" backspaced 15x8s. What all should I do to make them fit without rubbing much? What part of the flares should I cut?

I am wanting to buy a rough country lift with a track bar in like a week and I am wanting to know how long shipping will take for that if anyone has ordered the 4.5 in lift. I'm not exactly sure if this is the best place to ask but any help is appreciated.

You could email roughcountry. They're pretty good about getting back to you. If all the parts to your kit are in stock and you order before 3pm CST then you will get it anywhere between 2-7 business days depending on where you live. They're out of Mephis, TN. Took mine 2 business days to get to VA.

I think you can move the stock one over 3/4" and you will be fine. I saw that on a chart somewhere. Just drill a new hole on the axle mount. That is how my 96' is done and no issues with it.
