RocKrawler 6" L/A lift

[nameless]

can't find much info on it, other than that's the lift i got with my MJ

 

is this a good lift to run?

 

how much lift is it really?

 

any pictures of MJ's sporting it?

 

how big of tires could i run with the lift? the rear was swapped for a D44 so maybe a little more clearence?

 

 

 

i'm asking these questions because it is sitting on some terrible 31"s and i have the hook up on some 36"s... i think they may be to big, i'm wondering if i'll need an extra 2" puck/shackle lift

I don't think 36s will fit with just a 6" lift. I'd go with your plan on adding 2" check the gearing in your axles so they will work with 36s. Believe it will save you.

RK does not officially make a lift for the MJ. The front components from the XJ lift will swap into the the MJ however. RK never has made a 6" lift for the XJ/MJ; it's a 6.5" lift.

 

Depending on the generation of the lift kit will depend on the quality. RK has 3 generations of the XJ lift, Gen. 1 was made by the original owners of the company and was total rubish. RK than was sold and Jeremy (the new owner) scrapped 99% of the designs and started fresh. Gen. 2 and Gen 3 kits are very good quality.

 

With a 6.5" lift you can fit 35-36" tires with very minimal trimming. It's all about bumpstopping correctly.....

thanks for the info, great looking mj!!

 

i know it's a tri-link up front, had the disconnects, i can take pics of the set up, not sure which generation it is, i wanna say he did the lift about a year and a half ago

 

 

it has 4.10 gears right now, i'll probably do the 2" and cut when i get the tires but we'll see

 

 

how is the flex? i'm wondering how the rear is gonna do, it's more or less still stock.. how's it gonna tuck/droop?

If it's a 3-link setup (aka the upper link mounts on the inside of the frame rail on the same bracket that the LCA mounts) than it's a Gen. 2 or Gen. 3 kit. The difference between the Gen. 2 and Gen. 3 kits is that the Gen. 3 kits have hi-clearance arms (they are bent).

 

4.10 gears on 35" tires in my opinion is not that bad. I'm running that combo on my YJ that is daily driven and it only has a 4 banger and it's fine (though I don't drive a ton on the interstate). It'll do 60mph fine.

 

It has a decent amount of flex. I recently upgraded shocks to a longer travel when I did my axle swap and it's helped a lot having the extra travel in the shocks. It's all in how you have it setup so the suspension components compliment eachother; not hinder.
