anyone run there lifts or have any info on there lift kits. i'm looking to lift my xj around 4.5" i was going to go with the RE 4.5" kit but i came a cross the rock krawler stuff and it got me thinking. www.rockkrawler.com/index.phpi have about 1500 to spend on the lift and sye and shaft. i can get the re kit with sye and shaft for around $1514 shipped. i'm still looking at all options, if you have any other kits that look good let me know.

i would get the rustys 6.5 lift and the sye kit and tom woods from them, its under 1500.00 not including shipping, 999.00 for lift 450.00 for sye and shaft. or they have a 4.5 lift for 670.00 or so, ive used there stuff and it works well and springs dont sag, my friend has the re 5.5 extreme lift, and it shrunk to the size of mine with the 4.5 rustys, within 2 months.

Hipp is putting togeather a great deal for me on RK 5.5" LA, 4.88's, warn front lock out conversion, tera rear disk kit, Tera "high" steer conversion, AA SYE and TW shaft. Everythign should be ordered in about a month or two. I am getting 35" BFG MT, was going to get 37's but im kinda backing down.

The RK 5.5 LA can fit 35's and maybe 37's with proper bumpstops. But I want BFG MT's and they dont make a 37 unless its in a 17" wheel. Here are a couple other reasons why I dont know if I want to do 37's... hubs, ball joints, front axle shafts/u joints, front brake calipers, and steering box/pump. 35's wear all this stuff, but a little slower. I havent completely ruled out 37's but im leaning more towards 35 at this point in time.

like i keep saying and am doing...go with 35's now and build everything up so its as near bulletproof as possible and when the 35's wear out, take the step to 37's....thats my goal since i couldn't afford the 37's when i bought my 35's.
but more to the point of the post, i have the RK rear tri-link and its amazing. RK has some great products and amazing customer service. The guy I talked to when I ordered my lift was amazing, he near bent over backwards for me so that I could have it the next day, cause I called a little too late for them to get it to me next day, but they did. Thats one perk of ordering from them, they are in CT and everything is next day shipping if they have it in stock.

if i posted this on most other sites everyone would say go with the re kit, but they all could be sheep and just following the trends. That is the ONE thing I can't stand about the internet (especially car and Jeep forums). Some people run a certain set-up, then everyone jumps on the bandwagon, saying everything else is C-R-A-P. You'd swear the guys on Jeepforum get some kind of kick-back from companies like BDS and Rubicon Express. But, I'll give a vote for Rusty's products. My leafs are very nice, not to mention they've been doing XJ stuff for years... Go big, or you'll regret it! HAHA

Contact Dave Amor in Charton. He runs the 6" RK LA on his XJ. davescustomcreations.com thanks. i may stick with rusty's, i liked my 3" in the 89. i called rusty's but he wasn't there. i talked with him before and he was going to cut me a deal on a mix'd lift kit. i'm going to see what he'll do the 4.5 for with the frame mount hd trak bar, upper arms, and sye and shaft and a few other things. but if he doesn't cut me a deal then i don't know, i dropped some good cash on him last lift.
