RE Control arms???

[Paul B]

I have the complete Rubicon 3" "Ultimate" lift kit, Upper & Lower control arms, SYE kit, CV drive shaft etc... I am under the impression that the only difference between this kit & the more popular 4-1/2" kit is the coil size?

Now for the question: I now want 35's (currently run 33"s) but don't want to pay the big bucks for new coils (I'm happy with the performance of the 3" RE coils), so I want to you 1-3/4" coil spaces. This will in effect change all my angles to an equivalent of the 4-1/2" lift's set up right? Causing no adverse effects, right???

Thanks in advance for any comment or input.

Length you mean? Yep. That's all.

Yep. Since you've got all the adjustable hardware, you
should be able to dial it in to where you need it to avoid any problems.

You'll need at least a 1" body lift. Or you can go w/ 6" springs. If you go with the just the spacers and a body lift a smaller cut 35" will probablly work/fit better. Or you can use longer bumpstops to limit travel.

I'm going from 33" Claw's to 35" Claw's, both of wich are smaller sized tires. I think I'll be OK without the body lift?
