Rubicon Express?
Some of you may remember that I was planning on putting a 2" coil spacer
lift on my 89 Cherokee. After exhaustive research, I have decided this is probably not the best option for me. I'm looking at the 3.5" Rubicon Express Super Ride kit w/rear springs. How good is the ride of this kit compared to stock? How is it compared to the "Super-flex" kit (w/rear springs)? I will be buying a kit with new rear springs, NOT Add-a-Leaf. Experiance with these kits? Also, I am looking at the Doestch 3000 shocks. Do I need the 4-6" lift ones or the stock legnth? Could I put the 4-6" lift shocks on now (stock height) and put the kit on in a few months? Thanks, Carl |

I have had the RE 6025 suspension on my Jeep for over a year now. Also have
the DT 3000 shocks. The shocks are pretty stiff, but the suspension is leaps and bounds better than the stock ride...especially due to the sagging I'm sure you're having with the age of your Jeep. If I could do it over again, I would've gone with the OME shocks. The offroad benefits of the lift are amazing. It's nice to stuff 31x10.50s under an XJ for the price of this lift.

The RE 3.5 kit was all I needed to start with. It was better than a stock
ride. I had bilstein shocks with mine. KH "Carl Saiyed" > wrote in message ... > Also, what else did you need?

You didn't need axle shims, t-case drop, track bar or anything else? Just
the kit and the shocks? Sorry for asking so many times, I just don't want any suprises.
