cj suspension questions: what type of lift?

RE: Re: RE: Concrete clean up time... need help!

I have an '84 cj7 that currently has a 1.5" shackle lift and 32's. Not very soon, as i am new to the jeeping world, but some time down the road after other modifications and repairs, i would like to get a suspension lift. The jeep is mainly for offroad, and i would like to gain ground clearance, clearance for larger tires, and more suspension flex while not spending a fortune and not making the jeep too tipsy. What lifts and componets would you reccommend? I've heard that rubicon express makes great sua lifts and 4wd hardware has relatively cheap sua kits, while soa lifts provide lots of flex and add ground clearance under the axles but really get the jeep high up for an already tipsy vehicle. I do have access to a cutter, grinder and welder. Maybe an x" sua and revolver shackles for more droop? What do you reccommend?

BDS has a great price on their CJ lifts. I can tell you first hand they make excellent suspensions.

Not the only good choice out there but it is worth mentioning and worth a look

I am running the RE 4.5 inch suspension(extreme duty) on my 82 CJ7. The kit was pretty complete. Also it came with the wider YJ springs up front which replaced the wimpy CJ springs. I installed the suspension myself with basic tools. The kit works great. I thought it would lose alot of stability on the road but it hasnt lost much. Compairing it to my old 2.5 inch lift it rides just as good and flexes out a whole lot better. It's a good kit. You wont be dissapointed.
