RE 7.5" coils

[Ramsey]

Im tired of wanting bigger... so im gonna lift it right this time.. 7.5 sounded like a nice number

im gonna run 35"s ....MAYBE 36"
and i dont care to hear anyones oppinion on why i should be running 40s with that much lift because this is my daily driver... i dont feel like hacking away at my fenders ...thats my opinion, it might change one day but leave it be

call me a poser but i go wheeling once a month when im lucky... and i do love it very much ... but i guess u could say that im mainly doin it for the looks , but who doesnt? ANd im gonna build the strogest lift i can... so when it comes time for the dirty work, im gonna be able to walk the walk

what have you done about axles, since your building it as strong as you can. fyi i havent modified mine for looks. performance>looks

8.8 swap swap comming along with the 35"s ....D44 if i can find one for a reasonable price close to home

D30 will stay for now with 4.56s

performance+looks > looks

i hear ya. i use to worry about mine staying nice, the first dent really hurt. now that i am about on the 50th you just dont care as much

I was thinking about the RE 1462 springs (4.5") and my "old" Rusty shakles (1.75") - I think this should get ma around 6.5" or 7" of lift with a heavy kaymar rear bumper w/tire carrier & jerry can carrier.

I have been running the 5.5"RE Extreme-Duty Kit with 4.5" RE packs with the rusty's 1.75" shackle's for about a year now.
I have a HEAVY front bumper and winch(200lbs.+) and so i run 1.75" spacers. In the rear i only carry a fullsize spare with the stock bumper on.

With all that my 2001 XJ sits perfectly level, probably close to 6".

well, in my redneck opinion i say bigger is better, has anyone tried the rusty's 9" coils? i figure if i build a good exocage to hell w/ CG
