    i have the same kit installed on my 95 xj, i recommend u getting the adjustable track bar, and of course you are getting a really stiff ride like me, im gonna buy some control arm drop brackets and rear shackle relocators to get smooth ride

    Good job on the lift. Quick question, will the jeep still fit in the garage? Does it hit the garage door motor? (if your garage has an opener)

    It’s a good lift I just feel that they should not advertise it as a 4.5 inch lift because the leaf springs are short you need relocating brackets that will add more to the rear lift you’ll have 6 in the rear by the time it’s don’t you have a comfortable ride mine is really ruff in the rear

      Ran into the same problem. Just put the 4.5" lift on my XJ about a month ago and the ride is really stiff. Did it soften up at all over time?

    Anyone know what to do... bought a 92 with a rough country 6 inch lift... except he never changed the shocks from the previous 4.5" lift. I bought the right shocks but I'm nervous because it seems the coils are under serious load. Dont want it to blast apart. I know it's only 1.5 in difference.
    The current shocks are maxed out and I cant get any weight onto it to release the currently installed ones. Any ideas?

    How much was the lift u put on

    • @SteadFast2277
      @SteadFast2277  4 роки тому +1

      tony crawford $750 for the 4.5 in loft but you’ll need to get a long arm kit for $675 and frame stiffener for $100 to correctly and safely build your Jeep

    • @nugent5438
      @nugent5438 4 роки тому +4

      You don’t need a long arm kit or stiffeners up front. There are many flavors to this kit, but the best and most complete version is the X-Series (which is $1k complete). Comes with everything you saw in this video, plus proper extended brake lines, adjustable track bar w/drop bracket, lift pitman arm, drop sway links w/quick disconnects. Basically the best packaged lift they offer in 4.5”.
      Also, you should eliminate the rear sway bar. It does very little for stock XJ’s, and is a hindrance to lifted XJ’s. I didn’t notice if you replaced the sway bushings up front, but you should if you didn’t.
      Lastly, the rear shackle mounts create an issue with ride comfort. The ride is stiff unless you’re loaded up with heavy bumpers and gear. You may want to consider shackle relocation boxes or boomerangs (shackles).
      My XJ is not a daily, so I’m not doing anything about the rear shackles until I’m done tho my rear bumper and tire carrier.
      Good luck with your XJ’s guys.
