From what i've read the only differences between the Standard and the SF kit is front SS brake lines, lower fixed control arms and sway bar disconnect set with 6" tube. Now if you take the price of the Standard kit and add the price of the items from the SF that aren't included in the Standard you get a difference of 30 bucks.... Come on! Also did some research and heard that the RE disco's suck. Brake lines are a must if you want to get full flex, right? Don't want to be breakin' a brake line on the trails. Should also invest in the rear brake lines as well, right? How are these control arms? Should i get the fixed or should i dish out the extra and get the adjustable? If so then there's really no point in getting the SF, just get the standard and then buy what you need. Anyone do this before?

Ya but they might get that $30 back in shipping and handleing!
I would get the goodrich brake lines, and the JKS quicker disco's for the TJ, they cost a little more, But are a killer design!
When it comes to jeep parts, with the exception of home made, you get what you pay for!

Cool. Thanx for the advice. i'll get the goodrich brake lines and was actually planning on getting the JKS quick disco's anyway. Also considering getting the long arm conversion kit (but that'll have to come alot longer down the road) and don't really want to waste the money on the short arms.
Now another question... should i get the SYE and CV driveshaft before i get rid of the stock CA? Or should i do it after? Which one should be replaced first? I'm assuming the SYE and CV.

One down fall about the SF kits are that the johnny joints dont hold up sp well on hard core trails after while, i was actually thinking of changing the 4.5 SF kit to a 4.5 Super Ride Kit, lose a little flex but you get a better ride On-Road.

Once you go SYE, you will never look back! When I still had the Slip Yoke on and the T-case drop, I would blow the u-joint every 3 months, and at highway speeds, the thing shook like Beyonces butt in her music video!
Then I installed the SYE, Tom woods shaft set up about two and a half years ago, have yet to blow a ujoint, and rides 100X smoother on the highway! No more T-case drop, also increase acceleration cause there is less friction in the momentum of turning the Drive Shaft!
The only down side to the SYE is that it is Pricey, but worth every red cent!

Still finding out some stuff and heard from a rep from www.redrock4x4.com and they will actually upgrade your fixed CA in the RE 3.5 SF kit to adjustable, as well as upgrading your RE disco's to JKS disco. The more research i do the more i end up wanting to spend in the long run. Now considering getting the 4.5" SF kit because it comes with the adjustable upper control arms and the front track bar. But we'll see. RedRock4x4.com does have great prices and great deals. You can get the 4.5" long arm kit and get a FREE SYE and CV driveshaft. If i had the 2500 bucks i'd definately get that. Anyway.... if anyone find a better deal than that i'd like to know. Josh |
