I have the complete re long arm extreme duty on my 06 rubicon. it has 4.5 inch springs. i'm getting 5.5 inch springs here soon, what all will i have to change? i'm making sure that all i have to do is readjust things, not have to buy any more parts, is this true? thanks a lot

I'm doing the same thing. I stopped in at Rubicon Express in Rancho Cordova and they said I need the 4 springs, bump stops and rear sway bar end links.
Re1352 Coil springs front 179.95
Re1353 Coil springs rear 179.95
Re1395 Bump stops front 24.95
Re1383 Bump stops rear 33.95
Re1156 Sway bar extention link rear 31.95
440.75 + tax 34.16 = $474.91
How's that for a complete answer. Rubicon Express 858-8575

why go so tall?

what's the difference between the 4.5 inch bumpstops and the 5.5 ones? thanks

well, on even smaller obstacles my tires really come up into the fender. i know you don't want to be super high, for risks of rolling over, but tube fenders are not in the near future. what would you guys recommend?

I recommend going with the 5.5 springs!

4.5" kit uses:
RE1380 2" front upper
RE1385 1.5 rear upper

5.5" kit uses:
RE1395 1.5" front upper
RE1383 3" front lower
RE1385 1.5 rear upper

after i thought about it, it made snese. thanks guys

1" body lift, problem solved.

my buddy has a body lift and i don't like the way it drives then

:confused: what? it won't drive any different

dude dont lift it any more. Simply limit your up travel so that the tires do not hit the fenders. Rockcrawling is all about down travel.

Exactly.

You dont need to go taller. I run OME springs which get me about 3", a spacer up front to help offset the weight of the winch, and JKS 1.25 BL and run 35s with no problems at full stuff. Also my pile doesnt drive any different now with a 1.25" BL as it did before. Id tell you to keep your 4.5" springs.

i see where you guys are coming from. he has a 1.5 or 1.25 and it's different than mine, but idk, maybe it's other factors. i've been looking into it, and the stuff is only like, 4 shipped, but then i have never adjusted pinion angles, so that could be pricey. i'll look into some spacers(my other buddy has some billet adjustable ones that he never used) and maybe stick my trail cage on. thanks for the great info

I have a F/R set of new RE 5.5" springs and shocks for sale. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Don't go up. Comp guys run with 2-3in springs

ok. won't do

i just got home from rausch creek today. freaking cold. jeep did amazing. much better than i thought it could do/i could do with it.
