4 inch super lift
ok... So i'm a newbie with a stock 2008 jk unlimited...
That being said, i want to modify my jeep at a slow, but steady pace. First comes suspension, then wheels and tires, then bumpers etc... I found the following ad on craigslist and i need to know if this is too much too quick or "too good of a deal to be true". I tried to price it online at superlift's website but it said "call for price" (which i will do tomorrow). Soo... Can anyone who has experience with this kit give me any feedback? If i install it and move to 35" tires on 16" wheels will i need regearing or experience steering issues?
Am i an idiot to be buying used? These sound like the kind of questions that planman can help with but i would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks for taking a minute to direct a newbie in the right direction. Ballpark of how much am i looking at for an install? (also, is my meager 12,000$ jeep fund better spent somewhere esle)
craigslist ad:
"i have a super lift 4" lift for jeep jk 4dr. Can clear 37" tires. Kit is a couple months old. Comes with coils, shocks, rear weld on track bar bracket, front ajustable track bar, and everything to make it a complete kit. Jut selling jeep and dont need the lift. Please email for any questions. "

K&N Full airintake
just wondering if you still have your stock airintake. I know when i went to a cold airintake i lost gas milage in my dodge ram 1500. Put your stock air intake back on and use the stock k&n air filter , or plane filter. There is a fine line of things to help you get good gas millage,vrs more horse power. Mess around with trial and error. Find out what works out best for your ride.
Im on 37's with 4.10's ,6 speed trans,gibson single cat back exhaust,k&n in stock filter box,and hypermax programer, 5.5 inches of lift . My gass mpg average from last winter to now is 15.7 mpg. My summertime mpg is 17-23.

I would recommend against buying a cheap 4" lift to run 35's but it is your jeep and your money. Gears will be a personal preference and most that say performance is find just don't want to spend the money to do it right. Most people that I know that have held out on doing gears say it is one of the best things they did to their jeep once they ended up doing it. Again it comes down to a money thing and the fact you can't see gears. 35's can be done on minimal lift and not sure why you would be looking at a 4" lift and the headaches that can come with that much height as the lift will do nothing for you in terms of performance and will actually decrease the ride quality and performance of the jeep both on road and off. Good luck with your jeep.
