I have a 07 4dr Sahara with a 9 inch lift and 40/15.50/20 should I stay with dual stabilizers or go with Redneck Ram hydro assist? I don't do serious wheeling just every now and then. I'll do some trail riding, not to many rocks in San Antonio.

 

You might be able to pull it off for a while or hell maybe even forever, but that is a whole bunch of rubber for that little pump and steering gear to move around. Don't know if you have the opportunity to drive a rig that is running a hydraulic-assist set up, but it will change your mind. With my set up, at a dead stop, with engine idling, my 5 foot nothing 100 pound wife can turn my JK's steering wheel with one finger in the spokes of the steering wheel. It really is that easy. The steering is not flighty, but very precise at all speeds.

Try to test drive a hydro assist set up

 

If you do decide to run a ram assist, spend just a little extra on an external cooler for the power steering pump. I burned my first pump driving from AZ to CO during the winter. The hwy speeds generated much more heat than I thought and it ate the bearings pretty quick, I don't know maybe it was a defective pump too Anyway, I bought an inline heat sink style cooler by Derale and have not had a problem since, even in the hot ass Phoenix 110+ degree heat all last summer.

 

9in of lift? Can we see this beast?

 

Here's the pics as requested



Here she is topless



Thanks GCM 2 for all the advice. I'm really leaning to just order the Stage 3 kit from West Texas Offroad just have to wait till pay day

 

Damn! Looks nice, but just a little to tall for me ;p but to each their own :thumpsup:

 

is that a 9inch short arm? how does it ride?

 

Ya its a short arm kit (6" lift, 1.75" spacers & 1.25" BL). It rides harsh, getting a short arm kit and pushing out that big was the worst decision ever. That's why I'm changing it all out.

 

yea thats allot of lift for a short arm. your gonna love the long arms in comparison!!

sweet looking jeep regardless!

 

Long arms are the way to go for a lift that high. I actually prefer a lower center of gravity, but your rig looks pretty beast man.
