FreeJeep · **Posted:** Sat Oct 06, 2007 7:41 pm

im good....im sure its good but i dont like rancho products and thats super expensive

BeepBeepJeepJeep · **Posted:** Sat Oct 06, 2007 7:55 pm

$2300 for the 4" lift??? That's how much I'd expect to pay for the 6"...

DarbyWalters · **Posted:** Sat Oct 06, 2007 8:24 pm

It is funny that a couple of years ago people were saying they would spend $2500 on the 4" Superlift. :lol:

I wounder why the kit does not include the rear long arms :?:

I wonder if the rear Y-link would help the 2"-2.5" lifted KJs...put the arm back around stock angles :idea:

No mention of the "transfercase drop" either :arrow:

It does mention the CV Jopints being cut:

If you are going to use the kit for off roading, it is recommended that you cut 3/8" off the front face of the CV joints giving the axel the clearance needed at full extension of the strut.

I think those are SkyJacker shocks.

more money than i have...yes,
however,
expensive,...start looking at other models and what it costs to lift them up 4 inches and the install process. Easy to spend 2-3 K for that kind of lift.

just my .02

Doesnt address the cradle drop, upper A-arm drop, lower control arms, upper tri-link that re-centers it all.

True but those kits usually include spindles, upper/lower control arms, front differential drop brackets and all.

I cant justify this lift when the frankenlift is like 8 or 9 hundred. This one costs an extra $1K+ for 1 extra inch of lift. Appears they are trying to make up for all of their r&d on this lift pretty quick. The pics on the website dont show anything special.

At this rate the complete Air bag system from:
Aim Industries/Chassistech/Airbagit.com

480.668.5448 phone

480.423.3539 fax

It will be 1915.00 total with shipping. Let me know when you are ready. Seems rather reasonable. allowing you to sit what ever height you like.

Yes, the rear has to be adjusted for the extra lift height and causing the rear arms to move the tire closer to the front of the well/flares.

Hey great work,nice to see some more aftermarket products for a KJ(still waiting on the answer about the 4.56 gears though,will they fit the D30A?).

There you all go complaining about $$$$$,you got the 4" IFS lift you all want don't complain about the price.Many other vehicles 4" lifts are way more.

Now since I don't want a 4" IFS lift:

1:Need upgraded CV's
2:Need rear adjustable LCA's
3.Need rear adjustable upper tri-link
4:SYE and new rear driveshaft

If I remember right there was a topic about how much the 6" lift was going to be and many thought $1000 or so,I said at least $3000-$5000(around that area) and I'm looking about on target since the 4" lift is $2300.

DarbyWalters · **Posted:** Sun Oct 07, 2007 2:18 am

The rear Y-Link piece is included to raise the middle of the link on the rear diff...but I would think that adjustable rear trailing arms would be called for also.

I am not going to rag on this lift. It is a step in the right direction for many that don't want to do a SFA. I would really like to know about the CVJoints at that height without a cradle drop,,,I don't think shaving one will affect that aspect of the lift.

We really need to see some pics of it up close AND in action. :idea:

Jeepman56 · **Posted:** Sun Oct 07, 2007 2:35 am

Wow! I am looking at my KJ thinking what 4" of lift would do. What size tires do you think you could fit on it and besides that, how much would you benefit off road from the extra inches? Enough to justify the extra $$$?

CD · **Posted:** Sun Oct 07, 2007 4:50 am

That price too me seem's fair, I've enquired as to the cost of a decent lift on other brand's of 4x4 + TJ's & this is OK from what I've seen. However you still need to cost in the fitment price. I'd like to see all the concerns already raised covered in depth + what extra parts you'd need. It's not going to just be springs & shocks to make it work, it seems to me like the front is all good (for running 31"s), but what about the rear.

This may be a silly question but with a 4" lift wouldn't you need to extend/replace the drive shaft. As the wheels are moving further from the belly wont they pull forward. So even with a new set of rear long arms would'd it just fight with the lack of length in the drive shaft & make it worse when wheeling.

Overall I think it's good, just think of the extra clearence & trail sections you will be able to have a go at if not drive with this lift.

I want to see it wheeled hard & a lot of pics then a write up.

No mention of front spring rates for those using aftermarket bumpers and winch.

The recommended tire size for the 4" lift is only a LT 235/85/16 (32").
Am I missing something here, a $2,300.00 4" lift to run a 32" tire :?:

Thats what I thought that when it came out would be able to run a bigger tire than a 32 inch, not gaining that much for the money. Really want to see one off road and how it works for the money, maybe it would be worth it in the long run but......

i'd agree... i haven't been lited yet b/c well i don't really have the gust to do it yet, but if all you are gain is actually a loss from your pocket book, a deep deep pocket book, then what's the point?

EOD-KJ · **Posted:** Sun Oct 07, 2007 11:08 am

im not at all saying its a BAD price, but it IS expensive

and if you click one of the products you can see they DO have a longer rear LCA:
