BARBER Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hello everyone, I'm kinda new here and wanted to ask some questions about possible lift combinations to accomplish what I want out of my mj (and yes i've lurked and searched). I want about a 4 to 4.5 inch lift but wanted to either piece it together or see if there was something that could fit my needs (its 2wd btw). For the rear I would rather not go soa or aal so the rusty's 4" leafs were something i was looking at...also my stock drivers side leaf is damaged so i would like to replace it. Now I know rusty's quality has been questioned by some members so this is why I want some opinions on them. Now for the front i'm just sort of lost because I don't want to buy a whole kit but want good components so any ideas? Thanks Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 If you need new leafs, try hell creek suspensions. They make great kits, using their own well-built leaf packs, and rough country suspension components. Good customer service. I have asked a few questions of the owner. He also has a 4.5 inch lift on his own 2WD comanche. His screen name escapes me at the moment, but here is the site: http://www.hellcreeksuspensions.com/ and here is a pic of the truck. http://www.hellcreeksuspensions.com/ima ... eep_20.jpg Rob L.

CWLONGSHOT Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 STAY AWAY FROM RUSTYS LEAFS!!! (And MOST of his/their products as well for this matter.) A couple of us bought them. Some sagged very quickly, mine literally snapped in half!!!! Check out my build thread for lots of pics and information. Hellcreeks or Motion's are a MUCH better bet.

mattgrant11 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I also thought about getting Rusty's 4" longer springs for my comanche, they were cheap in price until I went to order them and found out that the shipping for them was going to cost me $50. I bought 4" longer springs from superlift and I made my own shackles for the rear, It has 34x10.5 LTB's on it right now and the don't rub but I also have cut fenders which I did before the lift so I am not sure if they would rub without cut fenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARBER Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Lol I guess what I heard about rusty's stuff was right. I think the hellcreek kit fits my needs just perfectly so i'll go with it. Thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it....the mj just became my dd (got run off the road and my s2k burned to the ground :fs1: ) so I'm gonna be here asking questions for a while...I already swapped in buckets, a full console, tach and tilt column so i'm enjoying this Anyway thanks again and also if anyone has (or knows a good source for) any 97+ front end swap parts lmk the junk yards around here are horrible.

Myron Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Me and a Buddy of mine had a Rusty's lift on our XJ's and his did fine. It didn't sag, it rode and flexed good (4 1/2"). Mine had an AWFUL death wobble.(Prolly because it still had the stock pitman arm on 8 1/2" of lift and impossible to balance 33x15.50 TSL/SX's) But mine was not a long arm and didn't flex for poo. I guess we lucked up because nothing broke and we beat the @#$% out of them. I get a lot of stuff from them (they're right down the road lol) But I haven't had a problem with anything I've bought from them. But like I said maybe I'm lucky.
