I've been reading about ...

on other boards that people are getting the 4.5 RE Superflex kit with 3.5 springs..

How do you go about doing that?

[kwrangln]

Ask when ya order maybe? Dunno, but I've heard its pretty common.

that's what I'm thinking but it's sunday...

i'm just getting anxious.. and want to buy my lift...

Just call RE or whatever and tell them that you want everything that comes with the 4.5" kit but not the springs and then tell them you want the 3.5" springs.

Whats the benifit of ordering the smaller springs with the longer arms? More flex?

Lower center of gravity...

That's what my dad just did with his TJ. He pretty much got the RE 4.5 inch kit with the 3.5 RE springs. We put an SYE and CV in there too.

Probably got about 4 inches or 4.25 out of the kit so far, with it unsettled.

Lower center of gravity, more stuff in the kit/more complete, perfect for running 33s on the trails.

Someone said the 3.5 kit sits higher than it should.. Would that mean the SYE is a must then obviously?

Did you do anything else to the TY Luckeeluke?

I was looking at this link... They said I could swap the springs.. and an SYE kit and Driveshaft are included.. Sounds good?

My dad went through this place- I think he talked to someone named Jason (extremely helpful).

I mean no disrespect to Quadratec- he just happened to go through a company he saw online.

If you can cough up the $$ for the SYE and CV, I'd do it. Especially if you are going to wheel it on some decent trails or drive it alot even on the highway. You should be able to install it yourself if you have some tools and basic mechanical skills.

I'm not sure what you are looking for . . . but here it goes . . . My Dad's TJ is pretty basic: 1997, 2.5L, 5spd. Dana30/Dana35, 4.10s,145K miles. He bought it in January we just finished most of the upgrades recently.

33" TrXus M/Ts, AR rims with 3.75 inch BS, Advance Adapters SYE, Tom Woods CV, 3.5 inch RE springs with 4.5 RE kit, front and rear adjustable track bars, adjustable control arms, new oem alternator, brake components, hard brake lines/extensions, Olympic rear bumper, front tow hooks, etc. etc.

He's going to run it as is with the open Dana 35 and the 4.10s for as long as possible. I was trying to convince him for us to put an Aussie locker in the front. :D :D

Pretty much built for trails where 33s are the norm. Most of the stuff we do in Western Mass is challenging/comfortable for 32 to 35s for tires.

My dad has a honda accord.. haha..

Yeah, my TJ though is my daily driver.. I recently have had some experience with death wobble and have been trying to figure it out.. Found my track bar loose.. I'm not that happy with the Tera Flex adjustable..

I run 33s , 30 front 35 rear... looking into LOD bumpers.. It's expensive.. paying for my jeep and school.. but I love my jeep so I have to.
