I am currently at 4.5 inches and i want to go to 6.5 with long arms and 33's in the summer but i'm trying to research a little now. What's the best way to get from 4.5 to 6.5 in? Spacers in the front or all coil? And for the rear I'll have to get new springs since i have a 3 in aal w/ 1.5 in shackles. If i go with a 4.5 in spring with 1.5 in shackles and a shackle relocation will i be sitting at 6.5? Also what are some brands to look at for springs (front and rear)? I have decided on rc or iro long arms (since i'm on a budget), pros and cons?

Zone or rough country lift kit? I like rubicon x lift, but price with shocks seem to make it pricey. Any input. Looking for 3 to 4"

Go all coil in the front. For the rear go with 4.5" full packs and shackle relocation brackets. Maybe a longer shackle if needed. And for long arms you should look at serious offroad. Great price and they look bomb proof. Don't forget that with the extra height you will need to upgrade other things like steering and such. As far as brands go, rubicon express has awesome spring rates and their 5.5" coils will probably sit about 6.5" or so

What steering components will i have to change? i already have an adj track bar and i know i'll need a drop pitman.

And dang, serious offroad la's do look beefy.. I'll have to think about that. Is there anyone on here who has them or has done a writeup on them? I'd like to read more (not just marketing bs on the serious site)

I'm sure that there are ppl who run them. And frank (the guy who makes them) is on here too. The stock steering set up is kinda weak for lifts that big. I'd look into an over the knuckle HD steering kit.

x2 from what i've seen Frank's (Serious Offroad) stuff is beef and well put together

btw any particular reason you're going to 6.5"? You can put long arms and 33s on 4.5" easily

X2 I was gonna ask the same thing and forgot lol there is a mod on here, I believe he is ktm racer or something along those lines, he runs something like 37's on a 3" lift. 4.5" is plenty for 33's and it would look real good too

I love the stance of a 6.5in la lift with 33 13.50s. I almost bought one with that setup before i got my current one. And i dont really want to cut right now since it's still the dd. I may go 4.5 in springs in front and rear and use spacers/shackles to get it up to 6.5 that way when i dd my stang again ill drop it back down

Was there alot of tire stick out on that set up u seen?

Jeeper_Creeper

this is the jeep i almost bought before he sold it out from under me. its a rc 6.5in la lift with 33 13.50 nitto mts. i want to stance mine like this. (yes i know his fenders are cut, i'm not cutting mine to start with)

13.5 wide? Holy crap for a 33...


And yeah there was some tire sticking out the side...

Erkmed XJ

U think bushwacker flat flares would cover those tires?

Jeeper_Creeper

No. They might cover half- 3/4 but they definitely wont cover it all.

Damn thanks found a good deal on a set but dont want that to stop me from inspection
