I don't have any sag w/my RE lift. And replacing the shocks won't affect sag or no sag, the sag comes from the quality of the springs (coil or leaf).

and why shouldn't he? my friend has bought numerous rusty's products and ALL have failed. i'm sure rusty's doesn't just make crappy zj stuff and makes uber strong xj stuff.

call me crazy but a lift shouldn't settle 2"

ok so your going to a guy with a practically stock grand cherokee, or someone with a built cherokee, and i wheel the piss out of my rig and havent broke one thing from rustys, thats enough proof for me to know that rustys is good enough:flipoff:

This guy REALLY doesn't need to go overboard at the very beginning. He still has to figure out what the track bar is. He's got a bit of learning to do. Hell a 2" spacer with 31's and some trail runs will get him started atleast.

Yeah that is very true....... but if he is going 6.5" up then he should ask like he is doing. Its just advice ya know. I asked the same thing when I first got my jeep and I did alot of research. Unfortunetly I can not afford the set up I want right now

then i guess im hearing that puttin together my own lift is a good way to go.
What parts should i use. wut are the prices, or should i just get a lift kit from one company. (i have acess to machinery to make certain pieces of the lift. wut should i make) bascially im looking to see wut people have to say about this

xjoffroad · Mar 15, 2007

you need to do ALOT of research.

rooneypower · Mar 15, 2007

then could you tell me wut. any sites that i could read up on

xjoffroad · Mar 15, 2007

rooneypower · Mar 15, 2007

jeepsunlimited.com
naxja.org

go look at the forums on those websites and youll find TONS of write ups and talk about all the different lift kits for cherokees.

Personally ive used nothing but Rubicon Express Springs and i couldnt be happier. ive got RE leafs in the back that are about 3 years old and well used that still ride great and dont sag. Ive heard that Rustys stuff breaks alot and their customer service is horrible. Skyjacker ive heard is a shitty on road ride and really expensive. Rough Country is just cheap. Id go with Rubicon Express

PNWJeep.com has a lot of XJ guys too

You're getting good advice, use the search function to search tech forums for threads on lifts, read read read

so maybe you got lucky and rusty's decided to make 1 good lift kit and you bought it. EVERYONE (but you) i've ever talked to that has rusty's stuff wish they hadn't bought it. my friend bought his tow hooks (one snapped in half), he bought the TB spacer and it doesn't fit right and catches open. and just because my rig is "practically stock" doesn't mean i don't wheel the piss out of it.

so you can keep buying inferior products and we will let the new guy know that there is better stuff out there for just a little bit more. :flipoff:

Rustys old **** was ok... now they have gotten to big for their britches and their new **** sucks. I've owned several rusty products and regret buying all of them. IMO, if ya wanna good lift:

RE
Teraflex
T&T
Claytons
Rock Krawler (I've heard guys have problems, but haven't personally seen it)
OR = BUILD YOUR OWN
