Hey guys I am about to order the 3.5 kock krawler entry level kit and some shocks, Do I need to do anything with bumpstops on this kit or will it be ok?? Also I am going to have to get some brake line brackets for now until I can afford some ss brake lines Who makes some descent ones and where can I get them Thanks

 

I've been running the long arm without bumpstops for over a year. They're not really necessary. At full flex I rub the rear bumper a little, but no biggie.

 

i got crown ss brake lines from quadtratec love them

 

Although items like that are usually included or offered as an option right on the lift kit web page, talk to Rock Krawler about the bump stops.

Regarding the brakelines go to the Northridge4x4 website. Dave offers several good brands including Currie and I believe Crown.

How are you going to adjust your Caster? It's going to need adjusting with 3.5" of lift. If they are not on your list, I suggest you a set of adjustable front lower control arms?

 

Actually RK has ss brakelines. Call jeremy and I'm sure you'll get a deal. N4x4 is always good too, but with the RK you know they are the right length.

I'm sure you can run for a while with no caster correction, but you will need it eventually. My RK 3.5" gave me over 5". It has since settled some.

 

I got my Crown ext brake lines from David at Northridge. Give him a call, he will take good care of you.

 

When you talk about adjust caster this is to point the yoke of the front axle up towards the t-case or is it that after the lift the yoke to too high and needs to be pulled back down?

 

I'm thinking about this same lift.

Anyone care to share some pics of their RK lifts?

 

Captain, we didnt connect on the sale items but oh well. I have the RK 3.5 mid arm flex kit that came with ext. front brake lines, front and rear lower arms, front trackbar and rear trackbar bracket. As they suggested I put on the Bilstien 5100's. Rides great, handles great and is real beefy. I dont have any pictures on my computer but can post some Sunday AM. Feel free to ask any questions. If you ever get across the Peace Bridge before you order you are welcome to look at it. I will probably add their upper front and rear arms in the future along with the coil spring retainers.

 

sweet, looks nice!

Anyone else?
