How much lift.....

PM jim79cj7 ... he might have a used one -- he's got all kinds of used parts from installing lift kits.

Even if you lift? I would think that the added length of the double cardan would be canceled out by the added suspension lift. Maybe I'm missing something? Would it still be too long?

I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to be sure. I ordered the RE 3.5" lift with the Tcase drop kit. I should be OK with this....correct? I am talking about vibes. I shouldn't run into any problems right? I don't think so but I just need a little reassurance. My Jeep only has 1500 miles on it and I don't want to have to start replacing DS or any other joints or anything. Let me know. Oh...........you guys rock!!!!!

Thanx

Every Jeep is Different. But at 3.5 inches its almost a givin. IMHO T-case drops are just band-aids, I would only keep it on there untill you can afford to fix the problem.

I *Think* I have seen RE 3.5 SF kits on the net for $500 or so, that seems like a pretty good deal to me. I dont really know what it includes, but I think its fairly complete (with the exception or trackbars, I believe). A mix and match kit might be the best for you.

Drive shaft would be way too long.

Hey Al, Welcome to 2004

I never looked at the date. Someone else brought it back to the top.
