I have only seen one of these lifts in action, and I was real imperssed. It is a very high dollar lift, but it comes with the steering and sway bar as well. I wish there was more of them out there to get a better opinion on them. I currently run Rubicon express 5.5 long arm lift. If I was going to buy a lift right now I would get Rock Krawler long arm 5.5 lift. Out of the box I believe you will get more suspension travel, and heavier duty. The main reason I would buy Rk is The bolts are all 14mm, and rear panahard bar is eliminated. The RE lift has 10mm upper control arm bolts in the upper links, and I keep breaking them. I have the strongest bolts in there I can find, and have broke 4 of these already. The RE front setup is very nice. Soon I will be running front RE and rear RK.

I run the 5.5RK and LOVE IT!! I wouldn't get any other lift kit.

Like the others said depends on what your trying to acomplish! I use a short arm JKS uppers/lowers front/rear trac bars. I have rancho rock crawler 2.5" springs with bilstien 5100's front/5125's rear. I also have a 1" daystar BL and JKS MML. This set up works great on/offroad for me. May not work for everyone though.

I forgot to mention that I use my jeep for rock crawling only. It's not a DD and it doesn't like the road very much, unless its on the trailer heading for some trails. So yeah, it depends alot on what you plan to use it for.

Mine is a great dailey driver that likes GAS!!!! We bought a CRD liberty so we can ease the miles off the LJ Just truned 50K and its only 2 1/2 years old!!! It will spend most of its time droping the little one off at daycare...not the malls:rolleyes:

One more thing we need to know is do you plan on doing it yourself or having it installed. If you are able to fab and build stuff you can piece one together pretty cheap. If not I think the Rubicon Express 4.5 short arm is a decent system, pretty decent price and there are a couple sponsors here who could give you a good installed price.

I plan on some rock crawling, and trails, right now I drive it some time on the road, Im looking for some tire sizes between 33-35's in a lift height around 3-4.5" I dont want something thats to extreme but something that will get me where I want to go. And i would want some one to instal.

99 TJ

Rubicon Express 3.5 - 4.5 or Rock Krawler 4.0 short arm kits are going to be the best bang for the buck.. you will need a Slip yoke eliminator and a new rear driveshaft for the lift height that you are after.

We are a dealer for both Rubicon Express and Rockkrawler
