Rough Country 4.5 install > Completed

[drumrhythm2]

I can finally see the pictures and it looks damn good. I've never been a fan of chrome, but I have to admit those wheels look good.

that was my thoughts at first too, but ive usually got a good eye about those things and i knew it would work out.... but it turned out better than i had pictured

i run a set of 235/75/15 bighorns and flat out love them. never have thay left me tractionless. even when i was high-centered on a stump the other day, thay just grabed and went. i dont know why i dont see more people running them. im looking at 31s right now, let me know how much noise you get out of them 32s. i like noisy tires, but not too noisy. the smaller bighorns are hearable at least.

 

[drumrhythm2]

well, there's some noise... i like noise too, i think its just perfect, not so much that it annoys you, but its loud enough to hear with the music turned down​

Here is what you can do to your Rough Country kit to make your frotn swaybars easily into discos:

(This is what I did, it literally costs $5 & only takes 1 minute to remove/install them when wheeling)

Here is the best flex shot I have of mine discoed:

(look at the drivers side front tire)

i dont believe mine will do that....tires just too big to fit up in there

WOW, love the new site work, looks great.... Yes i need some RC stickers

I have the same jeep, same color.....ect. I could not decide on what wheel color black or chrome.... Chrome looks very nice on white xj.

Great job, sharp JEEP. What was the actual lift with the RC 4.5" kit??:worship:

How strong are those tine pins? Have you had any problems with them on your rig? Will this work with any brand lift? As mine is a Rusty's lift. Seems like a simple and cheap quick disco!

Here's 33's stuffed pretty good (not 10" wide though).

BTW. I LOVE your truck. I have a good eye too but never would have went with those chrome on your white.......good call.!!!!

Bout 5 1/2". Me and drumrythym2 need to do some trimming. He doesn't like the five point turns to get out of the driveway. (but it slows him down,,,,shhhhh)

 

[evil dead]

whats the back spacing on the wheels?

I have a 91 with the same lift (RC 4.5) and want 32s as well (after winter)
any help on fitment would be appreciated

 

[drumrhythm2]

not sure about back spacing, i could check that for ya, finally got everything trimmed up so i can actually turn fully! but everything else seems to check out and fit, no real problems yet...and hopefully never

 

[bandit455]

just a question but why didnt you guys go with 33's or 35's?

 

[scottmcneal]

Looks great, have you got under too check all your nuts an bolts? I hope you enjoy your lift as much as i do.....



89xj, 6.5 RC, 33s an some trim on front

 

[drumrhythm2]

as for the tire size, we didnt really want to trim all that much, and gas mileage is a factor since this is what i drive to school and work and such. and the 32's were what was recommended.

and yeah, we got under there and checked everything over a couple weeks ago, nothing was loose regreased everything just in case, and its rides pretty well, feels a little more truck-like now

 

[bharrison13us]

looks good did your rc 4.5 come with uca's?

 

[jeep/bronco]

looks very good

 

[drumrhythm2]

nope, lift didnt come with uca's just a sway bar drop bracket, lower control arms, shocks/springs, new leafs, shackles, transfercase drop kit, and brake line relocators, along with most of the bushings needed, o and the satisfaction of being able to go through window deep snow too!
