ok im having alot of trouble finding a good lift for my 2dr JK i want anywhere from 3"-4" and i need it cheap (hopefully under $800) which do you guys think will last the longest is the toughest and is the most flexable? i definatly dont have alot of money being 17 and paying in full for my jeep ($306paym, $95insur, and then gas)

 

i think rough country has a 4 inch lift for 700 or so.... good luck
but there is a difference between BEST and CHEAPEST lol not saying the RC is the cheapest just don't come with a lot of components a lot of the more expensive lifts do
also, ur signature says 4" lift with 33's... may look a little silly as i feel my 33's are to small for my 2.5 inch lift.

 

last longest......Old Man Emu/TeraFlex BB
Toughest..........Old Man Emu/Clayton
Most Flexible.....Currie/Clayton/Long arms from everybody

Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to get the best of everything in one kit without spending a gagillion dollars....In a perfect world you could get the old man emu kit from northridge but with clayton control arms, and superlift brakeline extensions...etc.


Plus, don't forget about the "hidden" costs associated with going that tall in a lift kit like...Drive Shafts, tires/wheels, etc.


Hope that helps a little.

 

I just installed a 4" Superlift Rockrunner series for about $1100.00. All the parts were superior compared to stock. I got adjustable lower control links, and adjustable front track bar. It rides great and has no problems. I would recommend brake line extenions though. There was an article in peterson 4wheel off road and i think Jeep magizine around Nov. or Dec. that had a suspension shootout with most of all the big brands. Black Diamond won the best bang for the buck.(3" suspension lift). Since Black Diamond is made by Superlift and I required a 4" instead of 3" I went with Superlifts 4" rockrunner series lift and love it. Great Product.

 

I was considering the OME kit from Northridge for $1250. I think this kit had all of the goodies. Dave said this was the top OME kit and that he recommended OME as being a good lift.

 

I'm sure it's a great kit. Have fun with it and lets see pics when you're done.

 

Thanks guys you have been a great help! I think im going to go with black diamond 3" lift,

 

I decided the 33"s because of the whole gear ration recalibration would kill me and my car

 

one more question. Do you have to get the dropped pitman arm with the black diamond lift one site says it comes with something to prevent the bumpsteer but another site makes no mention of this

 

That's the number that I keep coming up with - $10,000!!!!! And, I know that I'll have to keep it for a long time....
