H3 4'' LIFT

[FormerJeeper]

There's plenty of people in NorCal
They do it all the time for the yota guys.
I seriously doubt it would "ride like ****" either.

I contacted fabtech re. 4" lift.
They said it is in the works.
no date for release though.
does anyone know of any other companies comming out w/ a 4" lift. when?

Allright, the lift does look cool but has anybody thought about gearing with the bigger tires afforded by the lift? How small can you go with the pinion in this thing before you lose strength or have to change the carrier? And what about the stabilitrack and locker? Lots of questions I know but I figure with the 4.56 ratio in the adventure package somebody probably is making 4.88s right? Think they'd be the correct ratio for this setup running 35s or (gawd forbid) 37s???

Most likely if somebody with the standard gearing goes to bigger rubber like 35s or more there's going to be some disappointment in the acceleration department...

Does any manufacturers know what their talking about?

well, for the:
4" Lift
FE Alignment
9000 shocks
16 X 9 Moto Metal Rims (5 in black)
315/75R16 MFG MT's with off road warranty (5 tires)

Everything was quoted @ $4705.00 O.T.D. through 4 wheel Parts.

That isn't too bad in my opinion considering the amount of labor invloved.
That price doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that you cannot use the ladder frame UC protection with this kit. So you lift the rig to wheel with more clearance on the body (4 inches of lift to the body over stick and 1.25" of added ground clearance with teh 35's) and than you are without UC protection. Maybe their is something that comes with the lift. I'm not too sure yet. Anyone else have info on this lift?

Lots of Disco users tried rancho products and were dissapointed. Never tried them myself.

I just got a quote from my dealer. $3,400.00 for the lift, installation and a 3/36 gap warranty for items not covered by the dealer. I think that price is in line with what everyone else is being quoted.

I do have rservations. The rep told me to be aware of the new product "adjustment" period. Since the item is new, if I do the lift I will essentially drive a "test" vehicle for the lift and it's components. I've never done a lift so I'm not sure what to expect.

However, this is my wife's rig and I don't want problems, especially when the lift shop is 50 miles away.

I wonder if I'm better off slightly adjusting the torsion bar and calling it a day.

Any thoughts on this?
