What lift to get for my mj


Recommended Posts

I've been looking to get a lift for my 1990 mj the only options I've seen is rough country rro and runic one express. Ive been thinking about the 4.5" rough country because I don't really wanna go spring over axle mainly because I don't have a good welder but I'm very disappointed with the lofts because they don't come with new leaf springs and the 4.5 rough country doesn't come with a track bar or drop pitman arm or quick disconnects. What are you guys running. Any good lift kits out there that you can't find easy? I have hers people using hell creek but I can't find a kit for the mj when I go to there website it just shows 1/2, 3/4 ton trucks or s10 any advice for a good lift would help me out a lot. Thank you

I have a Rusty's 4.5" complete kit. DO NOT get their cheapest steering stabilizer. I probably wouldn't even mess with their expensive stabilizer.

The ball doesn't stay in the socket. I got 2 of them and they both did the same thing. I got store credit for it but didn't even wanna mess with them. I think I got a Rusty's.

 

As for the track bar...I had to switch to the tie rod end for my set up. Works great.

 

All in all, Rusty's is the way to go.

I've installed a 3" add a leaf on an xj. Good stuff.

The only thing about rustys is some people say they love them and others say they go bad quick I like how there kit comes with full leaf packs and everything you need exempt a drop pitman arm but just wanna look at all my options first. Also how much of a difference is rustys shocks that come free with the kit and the other two more expensive options

Except you don't need or want a drop pitman arm...

I wouldn't put a cRusty's part on my Jeep if it was given to me. Absolute junk. I pieced together my lift and got awesome parts and better ride quality. Look up the "Alexia lift" in the DIY section.

 

^^  Roger that.

 

The "Alexia lift" is a SOA lift, so if you don't want a SOA lift, look elsewhere. I also pieced together my 3" SUA lift using mostly OME and Teraflex components, and got the same quality end results as shelby.

 

EDIT:  I see you already saw that Alexia's lift is SOA.

I found the alexia lift but I'm not really looking to go spring over axle and I don't feel like getting a new drive shaft so I'm trying to stick with a 4.5" lift with transfer case drop

You don't need to go SOA. You can get Hell Creek leaf packs and do Drop Brackets in the front.

What are you lre experiences with zone? I see with there 4.5" lift I would still need to get a track bar and quick disconnects. I've never really heard of anyone with zone lifts. It really makes me mad that the big name companies like rubicon and skyjacker kinda just skipped out on the mj. My buddy had a rubicon lift on his yj and I was really impressed with it but they only have a 5.5" lift. And everyone likes to just put a add a league in there kits instead of selling a new pack with the kit. Don't they realize the stock springs are 26 years old
