I purchased a 2006 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. I have been
asking around to see which brand of lifts pepole prefer if
cost were not an issue. I was looking for a 4" lift to run
33" tires and an looking for the best possible ride without
getting something that may settle in a year or so. I plan to
hang on to this jeep being that it has very low miles so I
want something for the long haul. I may also be interested
in a 6" long arm, but just don't know all that much about
it. Any help would be appr
I installed the RE LA 5.5. Its a solid lift and everything
you can break in rebuildable. My Jeep rides a thousand times
better with the LA. Everything lined up at the install.
Other than needing a set of extra hands, the lift install
was straight forwrd.2006 Black Unlimited Rubicon---RE 5.5 LA Tri Rear---JKS ACOSs frt and rear---Kilby Rocker Knockers---Rampage Bumpers with Rear Tire Carrier
I have a Rubicon Express lift as well. I started with the
3.5" super flex and now have a 4.5" long arm. I ran the 3.5
short arm for about 5 years and I never noticed significant
settling, and all I ever did maitaince wise was to replace
the flex joint bushings a couple times. This is a good lift.
I've heard that Teraflex is the most trusted name out there.
they have high quality products that will work well with
your stock components.
On the first Jeep I ever owned though (YJ) I got a random no
name brand and never had any problems with it.
On the TJ and JK i've gone with Teraflex 3" which is a great
lift that fits 35s on a JK and 33s on a TJ'09 JK Rubicon

Buy a TNT Customs Treks 5.5" Long Arm. I did my research
for three months on this one.
Try rebuilding the front trackbar heim joint on a RE.
The TNT lift includes rear shock relocation kit that
frenches into the frame and has a weld on rear truss
assembly. Also includes bent front LCA. Eliminates the
rear trackbar. They use Rubicon Express springs and shocks.
The only thing I am going to add is the JKS ACOS PRO.
The TNT has a dual triangulated tri-four linkage in the rear
that offers the best articulation without rear steer.
TNT uses Summit Flex Joints that are completely rebuildable
and can be run without grease. Also, the guys I know that
are running RE have to drill and tap grease zerk fittings
after every run. The TNT grease zerks go up and won't get
knocked off by a rock.
Ive got the Skyjacker 6 inch longarm and if i were you id
stay clear. its junk!! Im goin to be putting an X-Factor
Stretch kit on. with 4 link rear and 3 link front. Coilover
all the way around. then im sure ill be happy.
good luck.. its a big decision.. but id have to agree with
alot of the guys. The RE 5.5 LA is one of the best kits on
the market. Id wish i would have gone with that for my first
lift.
I run a 5.5 RE Tri-link there is no need for the rear trac
bar currie tie-rod and currie trac bar front. I love it lots
of flex and works great for the road. of course i wouldn't
let just anyone drive it on the road.Armed Forces Jeeps Oregon Jeep Club Fort Lewis Off Road
