Lift question

Hi guys, I wanted a more experienced opinion on this. My jeep came with a lift from the factory (not sure what but it has rancho 9000 and sits about 2 1/2) and Im in the process of upgrading. I want a 4" lift and will be getting a new front driveshaft JE Reel (4dr) and drag link flip (evo) etc etc. My question comes from this, I want metal cloak control arms/trac bars etc. Could i run the game changer lite but instead of using the 3.5" MC coils could i use the Currie 4" coils instead with no issues? If there's anything else you think I'd need please let me know. Or if it's a bad idea. I see on the currie 4" kit it includes rear coil retainer brackets, is that something I need if I were to run them with the MC kit. I couldn't find anything in searches for running the MC at 4" and they don't sell coils that size. Thanks

PS nothing against johnny joints, just a fan of the MC

Should be fine. The coils are probably the same length. All 8 arms aren't needed.
But mc quality is what I'd be concerned with. Not my money or jeep, but Johny joints are proven. Good luck with the build.

Wow, that's pretty bad stuff right there. I'll look into it if there prone to fail a little more then the JJ. If not I'll just stick with JJ and do the 4" currie kit w/o the antirock. That sucks

Also I would skip the track bars if using the evo drag link flip. Factory is good enough.

Yea I knew that the evo drag link flip would retain the factory in the front, i just wrote it for the sake of not having other ppl say I need to get one.

My I suggest looking at something that has Johnny Joints, Drag Link Flip and rear track relocation bracket. The drag link flip kit also has a front track bar so you can reuse your factory track bars and save you the cash.

I have the 3 inch Plush Ride Coils paid with the Rancho RS9000 XO shocks and love the ride.

Here is the link for the Double D lift kit from EVO sold by Off Road Evolution.

If the Double D is not for you check out the Enforcer lift kit with the Drag Link Flip and Rear Track Bar relocation bracket.

When your lifting your 4 door Jeep more than 3" you'll want to get adjustable Front LCAs to adjust your caster. You'll want to add Rear Upper CAs as well if you have a 2 door.

What Frank said, really just the front lowers on a 4 door. Rear lowers can be purchased when they blow out, if they ever do.

Evolander runs just front lowers, went through a few jkx, mtg, piginajeep, 10frank, to name a few all run factory arms except front lowers. Some of these guys are mall crawlers, but really some of these infomercials really have people brainwashed imo.
