Custom 4" lift possible?

[valpacer]

Yep, Matts on the right track, the 5 inch is where it needs to be, if i keep IFS it will come down to around that early next year, after upgrading all the front now im stressing on the tie rod ends and rack, which over here aren't easy to get and expensive.

Some guard trimming to allow some 34's to fully tuck would be ideal, unless some gears can become available. I have emailed Yukon, and they have got me to email them the diff tags from the carriers, but i havent heard anything since.

It's starting to look like I'll be ordering the SL in the next couple weeks. What risk am I running if I stack thr RC lift on the SL?

The RC spacer is basically 2" tall. Due to geometry this ends up being a little over 3" at the hub... I recall someone trying to run that setup and it was just too tall. Same deal with the OME springs. I plan to cut a coil (maybe slightly more) off my front springs

My commander is 2WD, and currently I have the 2' RC lift with 285/70/17's. I am contemplating on purchasing the OME 2" lift and then stacking the RC lift on top of it. I know it will be a lot easier with me having 2WD, but I will still have to worry about he UCA angles... I contacted Superlift and was quoted at $385 for a set of their spindles. Then he told me that he advises against it because of steering control and all this nonsense.. Was he right, or should I just go ahead and get them?

I don't think that I would go that route with the superlift knuckles. But that's just my opinion. If your going to spend the money on another lift and steering knuckles why not just buy a superlift and sell your old lift to get some money back.

^^ Agreed SL is what 1600?? the OME is going to run you $800+ all the isolators and extra things you should do since youre there +$385 for the knuckles and youre at 1200-1300.. Sell the RC for $100-120 and youre damn near the cost of SL

[oleblue27]

This is the thing, I don't have the money to spend 1600 all at 1 time for the superlift, especially since rough country may be in the works for a lift in he next couple years. Why not just get the ome lift and stack my rc lift just like that without adding spindles. That would give me 4 inches for half the price of the superlift. And considering I'm 2wd and I'm really eat on my jeep and dot offroad it I should be good, right? Then whenever I do hav the money for the superlift I can sell my rc lift and then combine the ome and superlift. What you guys think.

[Matt]

I think you'll be replacing balljoints and steering racks and it would be cheaper to just get the superlift from the start. I dont know why everyone thinks that its "4x4" that causes problems with these types of lifts.... CVs are very resilient and cheap to replace. Its the suspension and steering components that the problem, and they're the same whether you're 2wd or 4x4.

And back to the spindle thing. You CAN NOT install the spindles without the superlift drop down brackets.

I dont think anyone makes them for the Commanders, but a lot of companies sell 2wd lift spindles that are basically identical to stock spindles except the hub is mounted lower.

Where can you get the SL for $1600???

[07JeepXK]

You can get the superlift a lot of places for $1600. The kits that are like $1800-1900 come with the EGR module from AEV.

Well, technically you can't get the superlift anywhere period. lol
