Do I sense a certain tension... you see, this is what Landy ownership does for you.... it happened to Owen when he looked at them too.....

Calm, Relax...... As said above, pop into CF with a tape measure....

3" lift & then add longer shackles when the tank makes it drop.......

Go any higher & you will get drivetrain probs & cost loads more £££££

Steve, on a serious note (for a change) my kit was £630 + £140 import duty but that included JKS Quickers......

Outraged from Malpas might consider looking on the North American Cherokee owners site (UK Jeeper knows what its called) There's also Rusty's off road site for inspiration or a post could be made on Kaizers site Links4Jeeps :wink:

Hmmm, makes you think....

What do girls think about all day, I mean, we have such worries about which side to dress, sex, food, sex, drink, sex, CF, sex....

And they don't do anything

SYE is worth it on anything over 3", control arms are helpfull at 4"

Oh Steve's talking again now!

Psychoman · « **Reply #42 on:** September 14, 2005, 06:05:46 PM »

Wouldn't go near the Rusty's lift kit - yeah, +4.5" lift, but only through rock hard springs - absolutely shite off raod and horrible on road. Mate of mine had it fitted and put it back to stock after about a year (still has the kit in his garage if anyone's interested!).

I fitted the Rubicon Express kit to my Cherokee +3.5" - excellent bit of kit and no sagging after 2 years heavy abuse. Talk to Steve at FTE... or drop me a line if you wnat more info.

All the info you'll need, just book a week off to go through it all.

'Soft' rear springs are about 150-165 lbs I believe but with gas I'd recommend more or they'll be flat after 3 months flexing. Shock choice is up to you, everyone has favourites - I like Old Man Emu.

As to shocks on my XJ I went for Edlebrock IAS' you would have to check the lengths they do for that size lift. Got them on my XJ and they are great on/offroad. Link is http://www.edelbrock.com/ but I keep getting access denied when I try to go deeper :shock:

On my TJ I have the Rubicon Express 3.5" Lift but with the extreme duty shocks. Nice soft ride for offroading.
