indreland Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm lifting my comanche and am looking at rough country's 4.5 suspension lift I am wondering if anyone else has Done this before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit41 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Most guys says go with eh Zone Off-road 4.5 lift. Rough Country is usually decent, but I haven't liked them in my experience. Plus the zone kit is only a few $$$ more. http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-4-4.5in-suspension-lift-kit-jeep-comanche/j29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no really good one stop shop for a MJ lift. The Zone kit is missing a LOT of parts to do a lift correctly. My advice is to build your own.

MrSimon Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I don't like that Zone kit at all. I don't like add-a-leafs and I don't like fixed length lowers, and I don't like leaving the stock uppers. It's a pretty crappy kit really. If you are going to go 4.5", why not go up another inch and do a spring over? It's a very simple, cheap, and strong way to get the rear lifted. Then you can spend the extra money to buy a complete set-up for the front. Your truck will ride and function WAY better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebvance Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I have the 4.5 inch RC lift up front and have ran it for the past 3 years. Things to note - with sway bars on it is a VERY stiff and bumpy ride, I'm guessing a lot has to do with the angle they put the control arms at. - with sway bars of it floats over stuff very well, almost a mushy feeling - get the kit that has a adjustable track bar, you will need it. - track bar bracket backs out on me once a month and i have to crank down on it to tighten it it. Creates a popping sound under my feet when it is loose. Mostly when I turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard most people say they like zone better. I'm just doin the Alexia lift and I would recommended that if he's wanting to go SOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indreland Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Eventually I would upgrade to adjustable arms, I've heard a SOA lift takes a lot more parts and is harder to get it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Eventually I would upgrade to adjustable arms, I've heard a SOA lift takes a lot more parts and is harder to get it right no way. very easy to setup and you really only need new spring perches and shock mounts.

Zebvance Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Eventually I would upgrade to adjustable arms, I've heard a SOA lift takes a lot more parts and is harder to get it right Why would you eventually upgrade to adjustable arms? they are cheaper than the fixed arms with drop brackets and are the RIGHT way to do the lift...... Better ride and offroad performance, along with a more solid set up.... And less work to install. Its a no brainer. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Upper-and-Lower-Adjustable-Front-Control-Arms-Jeep-Cherokee-XJ-Wrangler-TJ-ZJ-/151679591326?fits=Year%3A1988%7CMake%3AJeep%7CModel%3ACherokee&hash=item2350cee39e:g:zk0AAOSwBLlVUtBq&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Eventually I would upgrade to adjustable arms, I've heard a SOA lift takes a lot more parts and is harder to get it right SOA is what happens in the rear. How you get the lift in the rear has NOTHING to do with how you get the lift and correct the steering geometry in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
