Superlift questions...
Anyone running the 4" Superlift? What's the difference between the SS and the SSR shocks? Is it a good idea to get both adjustable trackbars with the kit? And the steering stabilizer?

SuperLift 4"
As far the track bar, the kit comes with an adjustable front which was handing in setting the axle center after lifting. I also bought the reat adjustable for the same reason. The rear adjustable also eliminates using a bracket that may break. You still put a mount bracket on but it mounts directly to the factory mount and is very solid.
The shocks I bought were the standard nitro shocks that come with the lift. The part numbers you state I belive keep adding the optional componets, like rear track bar, Upper and lower control arms, steering stabilizer. If you go in with the standard you can then add the optional parts as you can afford them. But like I said I started out that way and have already added steering stabilzer, rear adjustable track bar and now lower adjustable control arms front.
I hope this helps.

I installed 4" Superlift/ ajustable trackbar/ Steering stablizer/ basic shocks. The Jeep handles and rides great! Keeping eye on tires for wear and seems perfect.

[QUOTE=brando13;405909]...What's the difference between the SS and the SSR shocks? QUOTE]
The SSR are reservoir shocks (SS are non reservoir)
The reservoir is supposed to improve the shock's operation by cooling the shock faster under extreme use (ie high speed driving on rough terrain). Generally, the ride will be the same for both the SS and SSR, but he SSR will have more volume of oil and more surface area to dispate heat.
Jeeps don't really need reservior shocks because they generally move slow over rough terrain. If you do a lot of driving over rough roads and wash board, then it might be useful. Otherwise, it more of a bling thing.
BTW, these SSR shocks look identical to my Pro Comp one. I believe they are made by Bilstein or Edelbrock and are rebranded by the suspension companies

anyone know what the price would be for the complete kit with both adj. track bars and f/r upper and lower rock runner arms. I heard the rock runner arms were on back order , are they still? Also is the rock runner arms only for the rear, or are they used for the front as well? thanks for the info, John edit : with ss shocks
