Whats your favorite suspension lift and why?

I have the rough country kit and dont realy like it. The rear springs sag and all of the bushings in the control arms shredded to pieces after my 3rd trail ride. Also the brackets that come to relocate the track bars are pretty week compared to others ive seen. I have also replace the control arms with re arms. I can say it does flex like crazy for a short arm lift and its dirt cheap compared to others. I only paid 420.00.

I had a rough country 4" lift on my cj. it was good. the ride was a little stiff. for my wrangler i bought a rubicon express extreme duty 4.5" lift. rides great. i have a little vibration. need to get the drive shaft made a little longer.

any decisions yet? where did you find had the best prices so far?

I'm probably going to go ahead with the RE 4.5" lift. I just have to wait a few more weeks and save a little more money so I can

Are you going to 35"'s or bigger ?

What I'm thinking is to just run the 33's that I have now until they need replace. Then I'll stick in my 2" coil spacers and buy new 35's. The problem is I just bought these 33 MTR's in Feb of this year and they probably only have 5K miles on them.

brian,
if you go with the 4.5 kit from RE you won't need the spacers whatsoever. it's designed to perfectly accomodate 35" tires (especially with your body lift) just on its own. i have 4.5 springs in mine right now and with 1 3/4" spacers over i'm fitting 37" tires just fine. you'll have crazy wheelwell space with the 33" and then you'll be perfect with the 35" later. just my two cents.
oh, and about the shaft. you have a couple of options. one, install your lift and sye completely and then measure the shaft distance prior to ordering it. you can run on the front shaft for the few days it'll take to get the new rear shaft and then you'll have the shaft made to fit. two, call teraflx and ask them what size they have setup for the RE 4.5 kit w/body lift (1")...they usually have a chart that'll get you a shaft in the rough area that you want. it's usually just a hair long for a 3.5 kit and a little shorter than a measured/ordered one for the 4.5 as it's based on lengths determined for tera's 4" coils. or...post up your exact jeep's specs and someone is bound to have your similar setup and already lifted to the height you're aiming at. they can measure things up for you and give you a distance right away. oh, if you go with TW for your driveshaft then bob can't help you...but he does order tera ones

Chris pretty muched summed it up. If i could do it again i would have bought the re 4.5 kit. I bought my tera shaft from bob supple without measuring and it fits perfectly. I also have the tera sye kit. And again bob had great prices and delivery came in 2 days.
