I'm running 6.5" total, long arm with 37". Plenty of flex and very capable offroad. Drives nice.

 

I am running a 4.5 RE long arm kit with 2.5 spacers and 37s and Im pretty happy with how it works.
The pic is with my 35s cant seem to upload the pic with 37s

 

I just messed my pants... is that normal?

 

X2! That's some serious flex. How freakin long are those coils????

 

That's one impressive JK build up

 

They are Rubicon Express 4.5"coils for a JK unlimited. Use the Unlimited coils on a 2 door and you get 5.5" of lift. The RE coils have some decent flex. I tweaked the supension in the shop to squeeze out as much flex as I could...extra long brakelines, ABS wires, long travel shocks, reajusted all the arms, tweaked a few things and got a fair bit of flex.

 

Interesting pic. I noticed in your sig that you were running "Rubicon Express 5.5" Long Arm Ext Duty + 1" coil spacers". I assume that is their radius arm long arm kit with more spring. Judging from your pic it is flexing real well. I thought radius arm suspension wern't supposed to be able to flex like that. How is the rear end?

 

Nobody has ever said a radius arm suspension doesn't flex. It just doesn't flex as well as a 4 link in most circumstances.

Clearly with a long, lower arm and huge ass coils, you're gonna flex - no matter if its radius arms or not.


Nice lookin rig!

 

Awesome rig's Victor and Joe! you guys have what im looking to do, my only issue is im trying to stay as cheap as possible right now, and it will be a mall crawler until im able to move back home. You dont see many jeeps (2 door) with much more than 4" lately, and they just dont impress me too much. So im definetly gonna go with a 6", i may split it with a 4 suspension and 2 body, but ill see what i can do. Thanks for the pics guys keep 'em comming

 

You can't lift a two door cheap and have it drive correctly.

first, with 4" of suspension lift, your going to need to run adjustable control arms in the front to adjust the caster. If not its going to be flighty.

the second problem is the rear driveline. Its going to be a matter of time before you explode the rear shaft with the steep driveline angle. Thats a couple hundred dollars alone.

And when you get the new rear driveshaft, you'll have to install rear adjustable control arms to fix the pinion angle. Going cheap on a 4" lift on a 2 door is going to cost you alot in the end.
