Lift.. What Do You Think?

[Alicia]

I've been thinking about doing this

What do you think? I wasn't going to do the whole SOA but I don't know now. This makes it sound so easy.

Sounds like a good idea in theory.  Wonder how successful it is.  I like the ease of installation factor though.

It's only $500 and probably a lot more for shipping but I've been looking around a lot and I keep going back to this

Sounds like you've made your choice lol.  Since you're not far from me, perhaps I can see it once it's installed.  I don't have any plans as of now to lift my MJ, but I like the idea of this kit.

Nice lift. What about the rear plates being rock magnets though?

 

Speaking of leaf springs, anybody got a spare leaf with the clamps on it? Mine busted.

I would think about it they are cheap for a reason. Rocky road will leave out parts to make their lifts cheap and in the end you end up spending more.

That kit is ok but its a lot more then $500 dollars once you add the missing pieces.

 

At a minimum your gonna want to add adjustable control arms and/or control arm drop brackets, you may also want to add front brake lines and sway bar dissconects.

I would have grave doubts about any company that (1) goes to great lengths to diss the competition, and (2) can't spell "bolt-on" correctly. When I first read their description of their rear axle kit, I thought Michael Bolton must have gotten interested in off-roading.

 

Then I realized: "Hey! These dudes just can't spell." Imagine my disappointment.

Thanks Pete, I didnt see this before. Alexia put a lot of work into this and I took off some great info!

Eagle, You and I are on the same page with this. I had to read the paragraph twice to understand they were trying to say BOLT-ON and not Bolton.. LOL I was thinking Bolton was a brand they were using... but NOPE they just can't spell.

I am going to add adjustable arms and drop brackets eventually...but just not right away. I have to re-do all the brake lines.. I'm actually surprised the brakes worked when I got the truck because the lines are so badly rusted, ate away, broken off and not even attached. :dunno: but you are right.. with all of that being done it is going to cost more then $500.
