I know this question must have been asked before, but I couldn't find it under the search. Anyways, I've got the wife's YJ in the garage and I'm installing a rebuilt TF 999 Trans, new exhaust, and other maintenance. It's a 91/4.0/Hard Top/ with a warn M8000. Otherwise it's stock. I've been after her for years to let me install a lift kit and she finally gave the OK with 2 stipulations: no higher than 4 inches and it can't ride too much rougher than it already does (it's her daily driver). While the Jeep's already in pieces, I figure this would be a good time to put on a lift. We do some mud-runnin in it here in Michigan but we also like to drive out to Moab. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I used to have the Skyjacker 4" on my 91 YJ.
It rode nicer than the beat up stock suspension.

Forget Skyjacker (No Offense). The best lift I have ever delt with is the Rubicon Express Extreme Duty 4 inch. I have it on my Jeep and am very pleased with it. BUT its very pricy, but its the best i know of.

Do you have any experience with OME? I am between those 2 and I only want the 2 1/2 in. lift. RE saves me a few bucks but I hear good things about both and nothing bad. Can't decide. AND I am one of those that likes to learn from others mistakes rather than make the same mistake over. Especially when money is involved.

check out the rusty's off road 3.5" yj kit........i helped a buddy of mine slap one on his 95 yj and it road on/off road very good.......the flex was very good also, almost as good as my tj's 4.5" lift......

Thanks for the input guys. Rusty's Off-Road: I'll have to look into that. I know the OME lift is pricey, but how much is the Rubicon Express?

I have the OME springs and they are very nice. I havn't got the OME shocks yet, but I am going to add the OME add-a-leafs to get a little more height. Might add the shocks then. Even with the stock "heavy duty off road" shocks it rides really well.

G'luck

I like my lift. it was $925 with every thing. the kit used to come with shocks. done. the end. but don't mount the shocks upside down.

RE $775 + SH straight from them, I've been told distributors are cheaper. I just got an email offer from 4wd.com saying OME is 10% off, cheapest I've ever seen it. Wish I had the money I'd get it.

Definitly not mine.....Rough Country. But it gets me to the fishing holes where others can't go. I like it.
