does anyone have the 4.5" rubicon express lift with 33x12.5x15 that can give me a measurement to the bottom of the tub? Before I order I want to make sure it will fit in the garage......Thanks !
 
I put one on mine last spring. Look in the "how tall are you" page 6 2nd. post.
Here's mine on 33's. It's to tall for me, I'm thinking of removing a leaf. I didn't use their long shackles either.

thanks old dog ! very nice jeep by the way,and i like how it sits.What size tire are you running? And what shackles did you use? Is it possible for me to get the 2.5" hangers and get my own shackles?I've heard theres are really tall.Sorry for all the questions !
 
sorry i'm at work and having to read fast! everything was right in front of me!
 
I have 4" homemade shackles that don't have a cross piece welded in the middle, so the width wasn't a problem.
Yes you can just get the 2.5" front hanger and buy their springs. I believe I paid like $130 per spring (from Morris 4x4), the bushings were extra, I don't remember how much they were.
That pic is with a 1" body lift and 33's but I run 35's on the trails and there is still clearance.
They do ride better than the 4" super lift kit I had on before.

do you know how much lift your getting just out of the shackles that come with the lift kit? With everything I read about shackle lifts i'm trying to keep it close to the stock size on the shackles.1/2" at the most.I'm not sure if they will let me break the kit up.Thanks again!

The shackles I'm running give me 1/2" lift. I'm not sure about the ones that come with the kit, but I know they are longer than mine.
You can buy just the springs like I did from Morris 4x4, and put the rest of the parts together cheaper than the kit. At least it was cheaper for me, but I was also putting a Dana 44 in the front at the same time.
