I always suggest looking to vendors that sponsor this forum, such as Jeep Add Ons, Qudaratec, 4WD to name a few.
They do a great job of taking care of forum members here.

Trying to figure out why on the 4wd site it shows 3 different versions of the 4" lift with different prices on each, but no difference in the description....

Part numbers as follows:

R1318R9B
R1319R9B
R1320R9B

Just finished installing mine tonight took us about 4 hours to do and the instructions where pretty straight forward. The instructions said you had to cut the passenger side LCA bolt or remove the exhaust to get the bolt out I will say i did not have to do that. I had plenty of room to get it out I have a 2011 but i would imagine it wouldn't be any different on another year. I will post some beter pics as it was getting dark out and raining really bad but here's some till i get some better ones.

I had called them with the same question. Here's what I ended up with.

Part # RANR1319R9B - This is the kit number for the prior version of the 4" sport lift that did NOT include the just released adjustable front track bar and new brake line extension.

I'm not sure what the new part # is that includes the adjustable front track bar?

Best bet is give them a call.

The R1319R9B includes the swaybar disconnect hence the higher price. I'm calling them tomorrow, but my suspicion is that any kit that includes the RS9000XL shocks will be eligible for the $500 rebate. If you have a Rubi you obviously would go for the cheaper option R1320R9B

So I have been doing a lot of research on the forum, but still have many questions. I'm looking for a lift for my daily driver. I'm looking at this kit because of the rebate but I keep reading how a 4" lift will require many other parts to be replaced (driveshaft, etc.). I have a 2007 Sahara manual DD that I wan to put 35" tires on. I'm looking for a quality lift but have a tighter budget. I want to put on a lift that will not cause issues down the road. Will this 4" lift or the 3" Sport (that I can't find any info on anywhere) cause future issues and do I need anything other than the lift to run this kit? Please, educate me!

With our SPORT systems, you do not need to replace the driveshafts. But if you do find yourself on the trail in high articulation situations you will need to address the driveshaft issue sooner than latter. Keep an eye on the driveshaft as part of routine maintenance.
Also with this systems you can upgrade down the road to with our control arms.


And in regards to Qaudaratec everyone is correct, they take our systems and make it easier to order with end links, etc.

I ordered from 4WD and was told I needed Part # RANR1319R9B. No swaybar disconnect links, just longer links for the Rubicon which has electronic swaybar disconnect.

I agree the descriptions on 4WD don't make any sense. Best bet is to call and tell them what JK you got and what you want and let them determine the right kit part number.

X2 on this. Mine will be two years old in September and I have yet to experience any significant signs of impending doom. I do all my own periodic maintenance and use that time to roll around under the Jeep and check out the entire suspension and drive shafts. I look for any evidence of the drive shafts contacting the skids that span the frame rails. I also check the CV boot and the spline boot to makes sure there are no cracks, tears, or cuts in the boots. Finally, I look for any sign of slinging grease at the CV boots. Two oil changes ago I began to observe some very small signs of grease slinging from my front DS CV boot. It appears to be coming out from underneath the boot clamp itself and not from a failed boot. Here are pics of what I've seen. I will continue to monitor it for signs of impending doom. If/when the boot gives up, I'll replace the drive shaft with an aftermarket drive shaft. Until then it's business as usual.

Mild grease slinging from the end of the CV boot onto the insulation. The grease appears to be coming out from underneath the metal band clamp which secures the boot onto the drive shaft.


Notice the discoloration of the drive shaft (rusted portion) where some of the residual grease remains on the shaft. The crimped part of the band clamp is on the opposite side of the shaft, but grease is plainly visible at this location.

Thanks for the quick responses. Is a 4" lift overkill for a daily driver? I see some 2.5" that look ok, but a lot of them you can't are lifted. I want the look of a lifted jeep without too much gap between the fender and 35" tire looking stupid. 35" is the largest tire I will go with this Jeep.

Rancho,
Where can I find the 3" Sport lift? I've seen nothing since your initial announcement. I'm thinking that might be a better choice for me but I can't find any info on it.
