Light 2 Dr and 2" Plush rides set up
That massive bumper and winch adds a shit ton of weight that i do not have i would end up with WAY more lift than you got out of it. I agree i am not going to waste my money on a full kit but i dont want to end up with 3.5" of lift out of the 2" plush rides and end up buying all the extra shit listed above because its too high
Yes. Without a doubt, believe it or not, when i bought my jeep it had this monstrosity on the front, however, it is aluminum and doesnt way as much as you would think. I took my leveling kit a bit to the max as an effort to keep up with my friends all on 37s and on coilovers. It does the job and i wouldnt hesitate to buy this kit again, as a matter of fact i have, this is my second jeep ive put it on.
I don't see how a lift kit is much different than the levelng kit once you start factoring brakeline, sway bar links, bumpstops and shocks; stuff to make the leveling kit complete. Really all you add is rear coils, so when you boil it down cost differential is really negligible. Unless you're talking about a budget boost, which I think is a viable option.
BTW, gregmort, your jeep is really sweet. One of my favorites.
The leveling kit is complete when you buy the kit. You do not NEED all i have done to mine, like stated above, i chose to do so to keep up with my friends. Thats my favorite part about this leveling kit. You can run it just the kit, or you can add 3" shocks, brakeline extensions, and a hockeypuck for a bunpstop and be just as capable as a 3" enforcer. I chose to max the capabilities of my leveling kit, and honestly you cant beat it for the price, my jeep drives like a dream onroad and performs off road and im about $700 into it. Thats much better then the $1600 you'll end up spending on an enforcer IMHO. At least when it comes to a two door. I have had a few things given to me so that saved me money, but not a ridiculous amount. I have 18/59 springs given to me for my rear to level out my lift and brakeline brackets given to me.
that was one thing i was a little worried about with going with the longer shocks is having the coil fall out at full flex but then again i do want it to flex haha
heard good things about the rancho 9000s maybe 4dr springs and a set of those for a 0-2" lift might be good to go until i get some weight on the front
Personally, i took the time to get the measurements, i run ranchos 5000X's on mine which is the 9000 without the adjustment nob. I run the RS55329 and RS55330 (hopefully these numbers are correct as thats off of memory) which are made for a 3" lift and i have absolutely no coil movement at full flex. Infact, i waited on installing my rockstars in fear of unseating my coils, but i will be fine, even with my rockstars. I am very happy with my 5000Xs as i got 4 for the price of 1 of the 9000S.
well typically a "leveling" kit only gives you a small lift and usually mostly up front to fix the factory rake, its not intended to "need" break lines shocks control arms, sway bar links etc.... it just so happens the 2" plush rides give the 2 drs way more than 2"
Agreed, although i will say, ive ran this kit barebones, and all mocked up how i am now, and ive loved it both ways.
