stiff ride

[Zullock Holmes]

get some nice 3.0 coils, actually i lied, any full coil is better than an aluminum coil spacer. the only rustys part i'll recommend, their coils, cheap and well they work.

as for leafs, do yourself a favor and either get some Rubicon Express 3.5" PACKS or bastardize the hell outta em.

Get some mediocre or good shocks and that will make a world of difference. RE, Bilstein, Edelbrock, etc. just don't get bottom of the barrel shit-hydro shocks ie rustys, rough country, pro comp.

you will have a generally shitty ride on 4.5 with short arms

and with the procomp shocks you have now (i assume they are standard low end procomp hydros based on the rest of it)

the only way to have a good ride in a jeep is to

A: have not much lift
B: accommodate your higher lift with components made to alleviate it (longer control arms (or drop brackets), better dampening in shocks)

i will attest to this. i had 5" of lift on short arms and it was terrible. not only did i have death wobble but even when i didnt it was just generally an uncomfortable ride. going to 4.5 - 5" of lift without having the right accessories (shocks, long arms, pitman arm, adj. trac bar) was the worst decision i ever made. i would do exactly what will said, either stay around 3-3.5" and upgrade your shocks and/or arms, or lift it to 4.5" properly. take it from me, i had 5" of lift from grand cherokee v8 springs under 3" coilspring spacers. i know what a horrible ride is lol
