Default lift kit

I know Alcans are the way to go but has anyone tried a 4" kit for a cj or wrangler. It would be nice to have something that was on the market

I used the Alcans,5",and they are awsome.And a bolt on! No probloms clearing the fenders with out cutting with 33x12:50's.

You can make anything work if you want to take the time fabbing.I know 2 people running Chevy PU springs.And a few running Wrangler springs,so it is possible.

I used Wrangler springs on the front of mine. I did a shackle reversal and a spring over at the same time. I also measured a Wrangler frame and duplicated the dimensions on my frame mounts. Started with stock Wrangler springs and then bought new Superlift 3 1/2 inch soft rides after it was done. I've been very happy so far. They flex great. I did wound the right spring due to lack of bump stops.

The Jeepster spring is the same dimension as the cj in front of the axle. It is 5" longer in back of the axle. This keeps the axle hop down to a minimum.The springs are not centered which is why we can't by off the rack.
