Have you done any research on what lift you are going with? If not, be sure to look through the other project threads here for some help in making that decision. Motion Offroad, Hell Creek Suspension and Rubicon Express all make some nice stuff just to name a few.

most likely ALL OF US will tell you to run away from Rusty's. they have poor customer service, lots of parts failure, and poor quality lifts in general.

 

strike them from your list, and go to Rough Country, RE, M-O, OME, or something along those lines. but DO NOT buy Rusty's. you will regret it.

the first one I wouldn't buy from...the sell scout parts and I wouldn't trust their judgement or parts if the website says scout, but they're selling comanche lifts.

 

the second one, I wouldn't do either, because it's more expensive than just ordering straight from Rough Country.

yes cool this link to

[BLHTAZ]

Good advice so far...and yes...stay away from Rusty's... :ack:

 

A good general rule...if you find a lift in the range that you are wanting and it's less than $700 - $800, it's probably not worth it. Remember...you get what you pay for :idea:

[COLAB]

u are true BLHTAZ , and i found in a local dealer on Montréal a kit for 757 $ for 4.5'' lift but with out the 4 shocks, but i can change the chocks in second time........

[BLHTAZ]

Yep...most places sell a decent lift in that price range without shocks. You will need to be sure to get the proper length shocks, but most places that sell lifts will know what you need :thumbsup:

[COLAB]

Yes i know, but i don't want to go in trail at the begining, that's why the shocs aren't a priority.

 

For my tires i want to buy this one : http://www.hankooktire.ca/product/tire_light_truck_detail.asp?pid=12 :thumbsup:

[cocco78]

at 4.5" you're looking at almost having to go with long arms, or at the very least both adjustable uppers and lowers to be able to get that thing back in alignment. Long arms will improve your ride over the short arms, they won't be at such a steep angle as the short arms.

[shelbyluvv]

You could always go with a set of drop brackets. There are a bunch of other things at need to be addresed with going over 4.5" of lift.

 

Brake lines

track bar

swaybar links

shocks

 

This is just the front end. The rear has it's own set of problems.

 

New leaf pack or SOA?

what to do with the load sensing arm

 

Make sure you do as much research as you can before you pull the trigger on a off the shelf lift kit. At the least the kit should address most of what I've mentioned.

 

Good luck and post some pics of the build!

[BLHTAZ]

The shocks are not optional...you have to change them at the same time you do the lift. ;)

[COLAB]

ok ok. Can i install the 9000 Ranchos Series , and wich one ? :brows:

[offroader461]

I wouldnt run Rancho's on it...i ran them on my MJ for a long time and they rode STIFF even on the softest setting....I run pro-comp ES3000's now and i love them

[COLAB]

ok. same as this one : http://www.4wheelonline.com/Products.aspx?CategoryId=331&ProductId=1341

You are doing (have done?) a 4.5" lift, no?

 

I have a 4.5" lift and found the following for shocks:

Rear:

Monroe #59358, $20.99 a piece at Advance Auto Parts with an extended length center to center of 25"

possibly Gabriel #61582 for $21.99 a piece at Autozone, which supposedly measure 25", but not verified.

 

Front:

Gabriel #81440 , $14.99 each lifetime warranty from Autozone. They extend from 14 5/8" to 24 5/8", 4" longer than stock shock.

 

The Gabriels for the front are the longest ones in the catalogue and are meant for a compact car, but work good on a Comanche. I didn't have access to a Monroe catalog to see if they have anything longer. Only other option is universal shocks, all of which are way more expensive ($50+ per shock).

[BLHTAZ]

Yes...If that is your choice in shock, you can use them. You will have to have the delaer that is selling them to you look up the correct ones for your lift. Rancho makes a decent product, but my personal preference in shocks is the ProComp ES9000's.

[COLAB]

Gabriel ?????????? that's ring look like a song............ :laughin: :razz:

 

do u have a link for a dealer for this shock, please ? ;)

[BLHTAZ]

You can do a Google search and find many places to buy them. I get mine through a friend that owns a shop called JeepersDen here in Orlando.

 

4Wheel Parts or 4 Wheel Drive Hardware are also good places to get them.

ok ok. Can i install the 9000 Ranchos Series , and wich one ? :brows:

 

I run RS9009 shocks up front with lowered lower shock mounts. They have 11.8"of travel if I remember correctly.

 

They are meant to be used in dual shock set-ups.

 

The adjustment range is from softer then any other shock I have seen to stiffer then the stiffest RS5000's I have ever seen.

 

They ride great and work awsome offroad as well.

I got mine from Autozone. I know Advance does not have them, but I'm sure there are other Gabriel dealers out there.

[COLAB]

Thank's guys so much for your replies, now i have a good idea how to customize my MJ ride
