Hey guys. I'm looking at doing a high quality 3" or so lift (I wanna keep my Jeep low), and I'm gonna run 33s of some sort. I was looking into lifts, and I really like the RE 3.5, but I know it sits high. I was looking at running some sort of hybrid, like RK coils, Currie arms, and OME leaves, but I'm unsure of how people like the RK and Currie stuff, as I haven't seen much about their products. Does anyone know if they're good, or have any better alternatives?

looking to get a long arm for my 2000 xj this week. rough country 6.5 long arm with the 2.0 shocks is ~1500 shipped to my door. Rubicon Express through a buddy of mine is ~2000 with bilstein's. Is the Rubicon Express 500 better than the rough country? I would love some feed back from people running either of these lifts. Cheers

I'd never pay for a set of their full leaf packs. They're crap.

I have a bunch of RC stuff, (LA kit, coils, brake lines, sye kit, shackle reloc) I'm SO glad I don't have their leaves after hearing everyones issues with them. I'd say avoid the leaf springs like herpes.

Currie is probably the highest quality jeep parts builder there is. RK has some super super high prices. Ome makes great leaves. Your plan sounds great, but is go with different coils if the rk ones are more than 150 for the set. RE 3.5 is perfect for 33s it's a very common combo.
