Lee21490 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Here's what i've been looking at lately. http://www.experimentalinsanity.com/vehicle/resources/mj-lift.html (won't have money for it for awhile) :(

mnkyboy Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 The BDS looks more complete for its lift height. The zone you will still need shocks and should get an adjustable trac bar.

It uses weak stock arms and unbraced drop brackets. You figure $575 then add shipping cost then add quality adjustable arms and drop bracket braces you will probably be over a grand.

Considering this because it's local. http://pages.ebay.co...lobalID=EBAY-US Or this one http://pages.ebay.co...lobalID=EBAY-US Thanks Mike,Have you considered Hell Creek? 130, and 189 for front and rear springs (not and add a leaf).
comanchedude Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Another option. http://roughcountry.com/jeep_mj_4.html Or this one and ask for MJ leaf. http://roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4.html
Biotex Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I just bought a set of Rubicon Express front springs 4.5" for $75. I got them from Mudflaps dot com. The R.E. adjustable trac bar from them also for way cheaper than anyone else. I think it is free shipping also. Hard to beat that! I'd source out the parts seperately. You can save a ton on money that way. Like for the front shocks. If you add 4" lift, then just get some shocks that fit a TJ with 4" lift. There are tons of choices.
mnkyboy Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I doubt TJ shocks would even be close to long enough. Especially the rear.
Biotex Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I doubt TJ shocks would even be close to long enough. Especially the rear. Not stock TJ shocks. Shocks for a 4" lifted TJ. They are a perfect fit. And yes, I only stated for the fronts.
mnkyboy Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 3.5"-4" TJ fron shocks do cross to a 4.5"-5" MJ/XJ shock. They are the same part number. What I'm not understanding is why would you look up a shock for a TJ rather then for an MJ/XJ?

What I'm not understanding is why would you look up a shock for a TJ rather then for an MJ/XJ? I had the shocks left over from when I installed new Bilsteins on my Rubicon. I was just surprised they fit so nicely, so I was just passing along the information.
