new lift or spacer and shackle?

[jeepinjosh]

Ok im looking to add some more lift to my xj. I have a rough country 3 inch lift now. I am thinking of getting a daystar 1'' 3/4 spacer and shackle lift for $160 and getting a tcase drop $40 and some other stuff. But im thinking it might be better to sell my lift and get the 4.5 inch rough country kit for $470 and it has all i need to buy if i do the spacer and shacle its like around $100 more to buy a new lift what do you guys think im leaning tords the new lift. Also if i do the spacer shackle will have to get lower control arms ? .Just looking for some opinions on this. Thanks guys and please be serious.

Go to the top of a mountain, park parrellel to the ground hundreds of feet below, get out leave door open proceede to jack your jeep up on opposite side of the ground, when it looks like it is just about to tip lite yourself on fire and dive in slamming head first into passenger door hard enough to make the jeep flip all the way down the mountain. Before you know it, your jeep is lifted.

i have seen your jeep in person and i less lift and 33s. start cutting son.

alright, you will need to get new control arms if you put the spacers in. if you want to go up to 4.5" that is fine, it is your jeep. the RC lifts are ok, not the best, but decent. however, you could find a set of 4.5" coils from somewhere used, buy an 1.5" shackle for the rear, and find some control arms for that height as well. but dont forget, you will have to extend your brakelines and bumpstop. if you can do that much cheaper than the RC lift do that and save some money and get bigger tires as well cuz your 30's will looks stupid

Trim your fenders, toss some 33s under it, wheel the piss outa it.

i got no problem going to 4.5" but if you do, you damn well better be looking to get a new rear axle and 33's

if i were you though the last thing i would be doing is looking to go higher, your having problems as it is with your budget, going to 4.5" will just fuck things up even more

[hippie metal]

I told you already. Stop trying to spend money on retarded things. Trust [SiS] when we say trim your damn fenders, throw some 33's under it and you will like the result so much more. We are not all trying to trick you into something dumb man....well at least this particular post isn't. We are trying to steer you in the correct direction. But seeing as your not going to listen to me or any of us for that matter, why even post? It would be way cheaper, not to mention WITHIN YOUR BUDGET to just grab a set of 33's and trim. If you need help doing it call me. Just throw me money to a) grab a 30 rack or b) attain kite hieght status

Also, The t-case drop kit is 20 dollars new, with that in mind, if you give me 15 dollars for telling you that, buy it for 20 dollars, you still walk away with 5 dollars saved from the original plan.

Thanks for helping guys. I will be running 33s if i get the 4.5 kit. If i cut the fenders i will let you all know and im running 33s no matter what.

Money is not that bad because im selling the 3 inch kit and my quad and putting it all into the jeep
