thanks for the info. sounds like what i want to get ! did you notice any diffrence going to the gas shocks ? i also will be putting it on a 08 unlimited 4 door ! i cant wait .did you get the adjustable track bar? i just bought it a day ago . looking forward to the lift ! thanks for the help !

 

Whats the difference b/w this kit and the OME ?? These seem like 2 viable options for me

 

The Gas shocks do make a differance, a friend has the same lift with the std. shocks and we both think my'in rides better. No I did not do the Track-bar. No Need Too.

Here's a photo.......

 

i got word from my local shop and they say that bds is relaesing a 6.5 long arm kit within a week. They didnt have pricing yet but i just hope they arent being morons and are talkin about the TJ lift because i know they make 6.5 for that. If this is true that will be the route im goin

 

does anyone have this? or any opinions on it?

sorry! didn't know.

 

It's just a basic 3" starter lift and should probably work fine. I'm pretty sure I have read other members on hear say that their coils were a bit on the soft side and tended to loose substantial height with the addition of heavy bumpers but then, no lift is impervious to some sagging. The only thing I would recommend is that you DO NOT use the cam bolts to set your caster. If you can and if you feel it's really needed, buy a set of adjustable front control arms and adjust your caster with them.

 

I had a 3" BDS lift on my 1999 TJ and it worked out great. Can't beat the warranty, not that you will need it. I did wind up adding lower control arms after about a year, which really seem to help the ride.

I am planning on getting the lift you refered to on my JK soon, since i had good luck with BDS. I drive over 60 miles a day for work, so I will probably get adjustable control arms to make sure the aligment is good.

My 2 cents....

matt...
i see you have a rubicon...i will too..once mine gets here...

if you follow the link i put up top...it says that it won't work with 2 door or rubicon... or 2 wheel drive.

so since we have rubicons...will it not work?

why won't it work? what is the reason? does BDS make one that WILL work??

 

If you talk with a reseller, it need to replace the complete box kit : 014310 by 014311, thats the box for the Rubicon only.
