MJDigger-CT Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Hello , gents and ladies. Probably beating the dead horse , however planing on lifting my Mj around 3 inches. Not looking to do any hard core wheeling and am looking for a decent on road ride quality. Have been searching around , this kit seems pretty nice , the Rubicon xj super ride RE6020M minus the add aleafs and rear end components , and probably pic up the set of hellcreak lift springsin the back. Mj info 1989 Jeep Comanche pioneer Long bed 4.0 L I6 4x4-Np231 5 speed stock dana 30 and dana 35 out back About 150 K on ye ole engine Thanks Jo
ggcnash Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Exact lift rides great! Wheels pretty good too really can't say enough good things about the combo.
MJDigger-CT Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Sweet man. Thanks for the response. What are those's 32s on there?
ggcnash Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yea 32's 3.5" RE in front with adj. trac bar and 3" hellcreek in rear. This was the day of install rear springs have settled about 1/2" since. good luck
MJDigger-CT Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Alrighty did you get the longer lowers?
teamsmith Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I would like to do the same. I see that the difference between the 6020 and 6020M in the inclusion of mono-tube shocks in the M. Are you able to use the rear shocks out of this kit? If not, what shocks are you using?
ggcnash Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I'm using bilsteins but you can use their shocks just indicate to them you have an MJ which has different rear shocks. Good luck
ggcnash Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Just to clarify, I didn't use RE full kit just front 3.5". Rear is hellcreek 3" shocks are bilsteins all around
ScottJeep Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I am a cheap ( three kids in college ) CL hunter.... JKS ASOC / 2" Springs / RC Drop Brackets up front (springs new...actually all new but from CL so saved $$) RC shocks all round ( new, cheapest, lifetime warranty ) AAL ( can't remember exactly where) brake lines snagged when RockAuto had huge sale. 265/75/16 Bridgestones on 16" MOABS ( get deal on tires...discont....MOABs off CL )
xjrev10 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I have: IRO 3" coils WJ adjustable arms (4) Hell creek leafs. This is on my SWB and it rides like a lumber wagon. But the springs are not even close to being broke in. I'm thinking after they got some miles on them, they will be ok.
xjrev10 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Few bags of sand will help break in Yep. That's the plan. And leave it flexed out often when it's parked.
MJDigger-CT Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Sweet , I'm currently installing the lift now ill let you all know how it goes.
MJDigger-CT Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 Hello again. So my truck has been on blocks for far too long now and I'm trying to install my new rear leaf springs. And my gut is telling me I'm putting something in @$$ backwards. Either the springs , shackles or the bottom plate the shocks mount too. So if any one has a pic of a stock set up in the rear and has a picture they could through up. It would help a bunch. Thanks
fiatslug87 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 The plates mount differently between long and short bed. Top pic is long bed, bottom is short bed, both views from the rear. Let me know if you want specific views.
MJDigger-CT Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 Awesome your the man thanks a ton just what I was looking for. Now I take it the larger eye on the leaf spring is toward the engine? Also , the straight part of the shackle is facing toward the rear?
MJDigger-CT Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 Super , just what I was looking for. Thanks again for the help.
