help with lift kit
There is definately a difference between a good, cheap lift and a GOOD CHEAP LIFT. Most companies make the same size lifts in different performance stages. Your best bet is to establish how hard your goona use it. If youll be mostly on road go with a basic lift but if your going to really work your jeep get the more complete kits. Just try to to remember: If it breaks it needed to be bigger anyway
That is not true. There are guy that wheel very nice rigs but cannot drive and break their shit. Then there guys who have inferior components but have excellent driving skills and don't brake anything.
I was told at dealer that 3" lift is the max allowed and still be under full warenty.
3" tera flex lift including extended or adjustable front lower controll arms and front track bar is what I have and so far no issues running 35" x 12.5" wide pro-comps. tho due to being on stock 16" alum. rims I am also on 1" spacers (including spare rack as the 35" would not seat without it.
No rubs and so far I am VERY pleased with the lift.
I in fact hammered into a hole across a trail going about 35mph.
It hit so hard it bottomed out everything even on the sencond bunny hop.
I mean the rear end bottomed too as we came straight back down on all fours and bonced a few more times. Our teeth was rattled and the lower front controll arns got bent (no kidding). Everything held tho with no other issues.
Yeh and I know! I was a dumb ASS to even get into that....
Which is an appropriate shift into the comment about drivers eh?
I can say for sure that driver judgement is the #1 contributing factor to the fun factor in owning a Jeep.
Now it's up to each of us to define "Fun".
I chose the tera flex due to it stays centered and on factory points more than others and I'm for certain sure other stuff woulda broke with any other lift.
Just make sure your brake lines are run truely clear thru entire stroke (bottom and full extension) mine rubbed when all the way out and when all the way in and I had to move them a bit.
