Lift Kit

[2001JeepXJNS]

i was thinking about getting a 2 or 3 inch lift for a spring project this year.

any thoughts on a good kit and average cost involved?

was looking on youtube to see what others have done and came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtT9Y8gcwsI

maybe I dont need one after all...

Thanks

Lifting is very often a can of worms. OME (old man emu) gets a lot of love. There will not be a ton of difference in performance between kits, as the geometry will often be the same. What will make the difference is what the kit comes with for the cost and what materials they use vs. what you believe will be best for you. Rubicons were always pretty good bang for buck, although I do not know what has changed if anything since they were bought out. It is always preferred to go with springs all around instead of spacers and blocks but to each their own. You will want something with longer control arms and a new preferrable adjustable track bar. Something with a drop pitman arm and a drop track bar bracket (upgraded to double shear style) will keep it handling a little more like stock.

As for the video...the big jeep would leave the stock one behind in short order if it were pushing its limits at all. Although stock rigs can surprise you:yelclap:
