@bdaddy23 ok cool will do hhahahaha im getting a jeep just like yours except im gonna get a 2 door jeep xj its gonna be cool ill post it around January
Thanks again
@Chris3571234 i heard that too many years ago, Now they are getting better and the quality of my long arm kit is amazing and beefy. You can still get crappy rough country lift kits but this is not a cheap RC lift kit , this is the best one they offer and in many peoples opinion it is a very capable setup. It does amazing. Check out my new sit brians4x4life I posted a few new videos
@jdmtom1 thrush glass pack
not judging you but i have heard rough country and tuff country are pretty shitty lifts , i think ill save up for a fabtech there like $900 for a 4 inch
also i heard rough countrys are very stiff is that true
what brand of exhaust do you have under it? i want my 99 xj to sound like yours
sweet jeep,rammstien,im happy :)
Love The Jeep. I Have a similar 2000 xj Minus All the mods i just have the 4.5 kit with 32s. but i bought it like that. Where do you live it looks similar to my territory lol WV
@Clayton130813 I really like it, it worked out great. Just had to dirtch the front shocks because they limited droop. went with bilsteins all around.
Damn nice jeep, so how do u like the rough country long arm lift?
@th3s41nt thanks bro I like yours a lot as well.
I am saving up for some lockers and I also have a Ford 8.8 with discs that I am rebuilding now with 4:10 gears front and rear. its mild but will do me good
damn that thing is siick. thats a clean jeep, to bad your to far from me. im planning on a hollister trip in the next few weeks.
@bdaddy23 damn. lucky!! haha. have fun!! you better make a video of it!!
@Scorch1007 thanks!
@Adrian00702 could fit 35′s but 33′s will flex a lot more, and no rubbing issues at all
@Fr0z3nFr0g thanks bro! :) it was just a little vid after finishing the lift kit. I hope to be going up to NH next weekend on the 10th
nice. i didnt know you had a video up. im from cherokee forum, been reading your build forever haha. xj4life. nice stuff. i just searched xj long arm haha. cant wait for the new video!!
do you think you could fit 35′s with that lift and the flares, or would the 33′s work the best and give you the most flex?
@rudedogii No issues, I already had a Rubicon Express Slip Yoke Eliminator installed on my transfer case. Thats all you need.
no vibrations at all and I can drive it up to 80 MPH. more than that is just not safe. lol
Pinion angles front and rear are perfect as well!
dude I love your jeep
Hey Brian, Looks good! Did you have any driveline issues?
@bdaddy23 thats what i am thinking about after i get a daley friver, cutting alittle behinde the doors
@yjmoneypit I love 2 doors.
Maybe I will get one of those next time around.
turn it into a truck. :)
lol
@the63man not sure never checked, can’t be good with 33′s and stock gears. but I am rebuilding a ford 8.8 and re-gearing all around. so that should help.
but i don’t really care about gas mileage, it’s a Jeep. Sure it probably sucks, but it will take me far into some awesome off road adventures.! :)
@konadude92 no complaints at all, best customer service I ever have seen and others can say the same. Best long arm lift kit for the money.
I opted to sell the shocks and get the Bilsteins to just make it that much better.
Whats not to love! :)
Solid parts, great price.!
no hassle.
thanks bro. I am sold on Rough Country.
Lookin good! I love the dif cover…
