You said RC and then you said RE. Which are you looking at? Either way, I'd still recommend IROR. I'll be buying another one for the MJ when I get to that point.

Default Goofy looking?

I want to put a 3.5" RE lift on my 2001, but still run 30" tires. I want some opionins on whether this will look goofy or not. Does anybody have something close to this setup?

With stock flares and no fenders cut that heigth doesnt look bad with 30s. IMO

I actually think 31s look a little goofy at some angles. But I like it on mine.

Need some advise guys. Just threw on the new wheels and I have a bit of a rub on the left front bumper endcap. Not ready for AM bumpers yet and I'd rather not chop the stock parts. You think a 1" spacer and shackle will hold me over until i get bumpers? I already have the parts but I've seen mixed reviews on spacer/shackle lifts.

It's a Limited and I have someone ready to buy the color coded bumpers, endcaps and flares when I pull them. If I start trimming I'll lose the deal

1. Cut the caps and be done with it. It takes 2 minutes. You can make it look good and not even be noticable.

2. There's nothing wrong with spacer/shackle lifts. Especially if it's only 1".

6" spacer/shackle lifts are not suggested...

Yesterday I put together a bastard pack set of leaf springs for my sagging Cherokee. I used the leafs from a '97 Dakota. It gave me about 2 inches of lift above level.
I have picked up a vibration. It starts at about 30 mph and fades out at about 45 mph. I am going to pick up a set of U-joints and replace my old ones. I can't think of anything else that would cause the vibration.
Can anybody else?
