x3 rustys, 3.25, rides great, springs shocks and trackbar, and order some extended swaybar links.

 

I give my vote for the Rough Country 4", rides good and handles great. Very simple kit that is upgradeable as you go. And cant beat a lift that one can install in 1.75 hours.

 

Just as it came.

It rides nicer than stock but I dont have a front sway bar.

 

Say I get the RC 4" lift....would it be more ecconomical to just get a complete kit? By time I order the track bars, and control arms, pay for shipping on everything...know what I'm getting at?
Not sure, just curious.

 

1.75 hrs. Are you serious? I just received my RC 4" lift and went through the box and bags of hardware to make sure everything was there. Don't know when I'll install it. Seem like I am getting conflicting info about whether to change my rear driveshaft. Some say yes and some say no, no problems.

 

With a 2dr you will need to change your DS....

 

I havent changed the DS yet and so far no problems with binding or vibes. The biggest thing I could suggest for an easy install, always read the instructions through several times. Become familiar with the process and tools required for the task. Air tools help a lot also with the rear suspension as all the bolts are accessable with an impact wrench. There are a few "unclear" parts in the RC install sheet, I believe they tell you to do the front first but the rear factory sway bar links get used on the front........ so doing the rear first makes more sense. The tool list they give is also incomplete and a few more tools are required, nothing an adjustable wrench wont fix.

 

Agreed...I'm picky and poor. I couldn't be happier with my lift. I would opt for the bilstien shocks, from what I've heard the cheaper Superlift ones ridekinda harsh. The nice thing is you can always upgrade the control arms later..though I'm not sure it's absolutely necessary. Good luck, I know what you're going through trying to decide

 

I got around $500 or $600 into my 4 inch lift. Ride is close to stock. No alignment issues (I only adjusted the steering wheel angle). Great preformance and no issues at all.

Black Diamond (Superlift) 3 inch springs. These will give you 4 inches of lift..

Rancho 5000 shocks for a 4 inch lift.

Rear track bar adjuster bracket.

I went with Terreflex sway bar disconnects for a 4 inch lift in the front.

Brakets to move your brake lines lower

Spacers to lower the mounts on the rear sway bar.

That's it. I wanted to go seperate components because I did not like any of the kits, and add components as I built it up. I was happy with the outcome so far so have made no other mods. I am worried about the track bar bracket, as many have reported breakage, and I am keeping an eye on the drive shaft. I have over 10,000 miles and lots of offroading on this set up.

Very happy and love the price.

Good luck.

 

rough country 4" suspension kit... comes with everything you need for like 575 and i they do a forum discount i beleive. I'm super happy with mine and i believe toad is running the same kit and last i heard was happy with hers too.
