Caught the Bug
I have been researching what lift I wanted for a while and I initially came down to an evo 4.5" enforcer lift or a metalcloak 4.5" long arm lift (it looks like it works great - but the JT can't really deal with load or towing - so you throw that out the window with that setup). I came across the videos on this setup (again) and it looks like it gives you a good deal of everything. I was surprised to see that it can actually flex on the trail - and it can haul and tow (probably even better than stock).
My Goal is to run a 37" or 38" max with 5.13 gears (seems like Accuair recommends a 37s - any reason why a 38x12.50 ridegrappler would not fit?
Can you run adjustable control arms from another company ontop of this kit if you wanted to (would it be of any benefit here) ?
Does the driveshaft (rear) interfere at all with the air tank at steeper angles (If i go this route I will want to upgrade to 1350 driveshafts) ?
The way the air filter is positioned I was wondering if it would interfere with a hydro steering setup (if I decided to run one in the future) ?
I am really having a hard time finding any real negatives about this kit - I know its not a top shelf coilover setup, but is there any reason why this kit can't articulate as well as a coil lift (of the same/similar height) ?
Looks like its been put through the ringer and i have yet to see people complaining about quality or failures. I know that Tractor Trailers use air springs/pistons so I know they can hold up and last (these obviously are not off a tractor trailer).
What really are the negatives here ? I am getting older and it would be nice to have an easy ingress and egress, be able to load and unload, and tow with ease - it is a Jeep but I still do need to do some lighter truck stuff every now and then.
