I recently bought this jeep with these mods already done. The dealership didn't know anything about the lift other than its a rubicon express set up. Is there a way to tell what size lift 3.5"? 4.5"? Any help with this would be great. Those are 35s on 17" pro comp wheels..

I'm pretty sure all the 4.5" kits come with new control arms.

It looks like you still have stock control arms which would use their off-set washer and bolt kit to adjust for camber.

I bought both my jk's already lifted the Sahara I found out had a 4" Rancho long arm suspension and now my Rubicon has a 4" Skyjacker lift... I still haven't narrowed it down to which exact kit it is by skyjacker but I'm in the process of it... I just keep looking at my suspension and lookin at skyjackers Page for pictures to match up.... That's how I found I had the Rancho in my Sahara.... I was thinking bout calling skyjacker to ask them with exact kit it is..... But just look at the suspension and look for things that stick out to ya as NOT STOCK and look on rubicon express Web Site for the match.... Good luck! And the new jk is sweet!

HAPPY JEEPIN EVERYONE!

Thanks for the help! I'm pretty sure it is a 4.5" Super-flex system with 5100 series Bilstein shocks. Have xrc bumper and n fab nerf steps on order.

I don't see it.
I think it's the 3.5 standard lift kit part no. RE7142


You look like you have factory control arms, and stock brake lines. Those parts are replaced in the 4.5" Super Flex kit part no. Re7144.

You are absolutely right. I was looking in the 4wd magazine and just looked at it wrong. Any thoughts on this system? Ok, poor, good??

That is for sure the RE standard 3.5 kit. Same one I have on mine. Same bilstiens too. Rides pretty good

The springs, shocks, and track bar set up should get you through just about anything.
The cam bolts for adjusting the caster are the weak link (I have read).
If you are going to be wheeling your JK hard, you might want to get adjustable front lower control arms and rear upper adj. cont. arms so your not putting all that stress on a couple of washers on each factory control arm.
