Take a look at your calendars for this summer to discuss an out of state run this summer. Also for when and where'd you like to go?

Lift for TJ/Rubicon
What lift would you buy under 4.5" for a 1997 - 2006 wrangler? Whats the trick set these days? Long arm or short arm? If you could lift you're rig again would you buy the same lift?

Id go Clayton
http://claytonoffroad.com/index.php/cPath/17_40
I run a Full Traction long arm with Teraflex 4" coils and I really like it but the rear 3 link truss is overly complicated and annoying. Too many bolts to check and tighten and its a pain to open the rear diff because of it. I like the Clayton weld on truss/upper link mount much better. But I do like the front end setup on the Full Traction, its not a radius arm setup

X2 on Clayton, I would probably do their 4" short arm kit. Massively beefy. I run their front track bar and weld on bracket, and love it. Cured all my death wobble issues...
Re: Lift for TJ/Rubicon
If money isn't holding you back, long arm is the way to go hands down. You will not believe the difference in ride quality. I'm also a fan of Clayton.

Re: Lift for TJ/Rubicon
I kinda like the Clayton set up also. I have a 4" pro comp short arm lift on mine and really don't have any complaints. I haven't been in a long arm wrangler but i wonder if the added expense is worth it. Maybe i missed it, does the Clayton long arm setup require exhaust modification? Thanks for the info.

Yes you will have to redo the exhaust.
Like Supafly I also went from a short arm to a long arm and I think it was worth it. the ride is alot nicer and its way more stable.

I agree w/ Homey, why spend the $$$ if you don't have to? Something wrong w/ what you have?

Remember the old saying, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it!" I break mine all the time so I have to do upgrades..........and the the upgrades grades break other things and those things break other things! My only comment is "keep it simple"! (Not that I personally have done that!!!!!!)

A picture of the new project. 2005 Wrangler X, Auto, A/C, dana 30 and 44. I'm leaning toward the Clayton 4" short arm lift. Hoping for a sale before Christmas. The long arm lifts look like alot of work.

Would've been easier to just replace the windshield frame well, maybe not

Re: Lift for TJ/Rubicon
I bought this jeep for the windshield frame, I'm scrapping the rest Sue is calling the the new jeep "a baby jeep". I think a lift is needed. After further review, I'm thinking Currie.TJ/LJ JOHNNY JOINTŪ 4" SUSPENSION SYSTEM W/ ANTIROCKŪ & HEAVY REAR SPRINGS FOR UP TO 35" TIRES CE-9801H . Maybe not the strength of a clayton lift but there using the same joints. Anybody know someone at Northridge for a good deal. I know it's not a long arm lift, what do you think?
