So, I had my mind made up, well at least I thought I did.
I placed an order for the following:
Currie Adjustable Control Arms- All 8
4” Plush Rides Front and rear
EVO Drag Link Flip Kit
EVO Rear Trac bar relocation bracket
Rockstar Skids
EVO HD Rear Sway Bar Link
JKS Brake relocation brackets
Rancho 9000 shocks
EVO front shock relocation brackets
Well, after the order was placed, I got a call saying the order did not go through because the purchase was over my daily limit for the debit card. So I after speaking with the supplier I reordered just the Currie adjustable arms. Then work got really busy and I had not time to complete the order on the other items.
Over the weekend I sat and read reviews, etc and confirmed my plan. I raised more questions and started to get concerned with my plan. I would like to get some help with the following.
My Jeep is a heavier 4 door. I also have 3 kids. I plan on running 35’s on KMC Machette’s. After a few years and if we are wheeling a lot, I might go to 37’s. It’s been suggested I go with the 4” EVO and that is what I was leaning towards.
After the research, I had questions I can’t seem to find the answer to.
Is 4” to high if I am going to stick with 35’s on a heavy rig?
I am planning on the draglink flip kit. And the front track bar relocation kit. Is it a good idea to also use an adjustable track bar with 4” of lift?
I am also doing the rear track bar relocation. With a 4” lift, is it a good idea to run an adjustable rear track bar?
What amount of lift constitutes a need for an adjustable track bars?
I spoke to another supplier and they suggested even with a front track bar relocation kit, they recommended using an adjustable front track bar. They sell them, so I’m not sure if I’m getting sold. I did tell them, I want to maintain the stock geometry as much as reasonably possible. And that I don’t mind the stock ride. I don’t want anything harsher and wouldn’t mind it softer.
I am comparing the above kit I put together to a 3.5” JKS kit. I believe both are great kits, so I don’t want to start a debate of which is better.
I am just trying to understand the suspension setup, and what should be done with 4” or 3.5” of lift. The more I understand the fewer mistakes I will make.
Please help me understand the need for adjustable track bars. Your help is appreciated.
