4.5 inch lift

[jeepn]

I've got a 78 CJ7 and I want to put 4.5 suspension lift in it. A buddy of mine suggested going with 4.5 YJ springs from Rubicon, because they are wider springs. I called them and for the kit (springs, shackles, perches, u-bolts, shocks, etc.) it will cost well over $850, and that is before shipping. Is that reasonable or is there something else out there that is just as good, but isn't so expensive. Thanks for the help. Mike[addsig]

I would go with something a little cheaper and add the saveing to the tire account. My jeep will never be worth what it is to me to any one else in the world, so I have come the the thinking, do all you can as cheap as you can and spend the saved money somewhere else.

I have dereamed of a Rubicon Express lift but for the money I am going with the Rough Country Lift Kit. Same as BDR and Hell creek from what I have been told my many. I see them being sold on eBay for 350.00 plus shipping and that includes shocks. Just can't find much wrong with that deal.

I may be sorry in the future but here goes any way! tug[addsig]

tug and others, just keep in mind that shipping for a complete lift kit will be about $150 ---> my rustys kit (front coils, rear springs (complete), 4 shocks, and hardware)[addsig]

This is the lift i was speaking of and shipping looks pretty reasonable too. Look it over and tell me what you all think. Tug

	Transfer Case Mounted behind and driven by the vehicle transmission, the transfer case transmits power to the front and rear driveshafts in 4WD Jeep vehicles and offers high and low range.

	Track bar A track bar is a component of a car suspension system that provides lateral location of the axle. While the purpose of the rear suspension of an automobile is to allow the wheels to move vertically with respect to the body, it is undesirable to allow them to move forward and backwards, or from side to side. It is this latter movement that the track bar is designed to prevent. It is a simple device, consisting of a rigid bar running sideways in the same plane as the rear axle, connecting one end of the axle to the car body or chassis on the opposite side of the vehicle. The bar is attached on either end with pivots that permit it to swivel upwards and downwards only, so that the axle is, in turn, allowed to move in the vertical plane only.
