I must be going be off the deep end because it seems like a deal.

TJ05 not really comparable since it doesn't have a sye, driveline, or shocks.

@BlackJeep where is the zone deal with the rs5000x I can't find a link anywhere. Or are your piecing it together.

Double adjustable or normal arms? add a Motor Mount Lift. I have the metal cloak double adjustable arms and couldn't be happier. Also, no zerk fittings to grease.

I would put front Track bar and Rear TB relocation bracket on the short list.

They are double adjustable as far as i know, they're the savvy aluminum johnny joint arms.

They make good kits, don't need to say anything else.

$2,273 on a lift to drive on the beach and still need control arms and maybe a driveshaft $$$? I guess it's your money.

The Zone kit is about $600 for everything if you get the 4.25" combo. That and done, you can go fill up your tank and drive on the beach or the trail.

I'll definitely take a look at the zone, used to have one on my XJ. But not that its hard rock crawling, Silver lake sand dunes that I'm talking about are steep hill climbs, whoops that hit hard, and tight and somewhat articulating trails through the dunes. Not saying Its extreme off roading but its also not a cakewalk. and the 2273 includes savvy control arms, savvy springs, SYE and tom woods driveshaft, and the savvy 1.25 body lift.

For another $850 for SYE, DC and shocks, then $400 for a flat skid and you could get all the way to a TT for what, $3600-3700? That would cover all your suspension needs. Maybe add a BL and MML, that's cheap, $300. $4 grand plus 35" tires and some wheels. Done, well, there is regearing and all of that! I think I am over the deep end.

That is a great deal indeed! At least as far as Currie is concerned

Clearly we're on the same wave length.

What isn't comparable because of SYE driveline or shocks?

I was referring to the total cost of your kit and his one.

 

[MarkAlan]

Wow that is a good price

 

[TJ05]

Getting ready to order Savvy 3" springs, rancho shocks, and possibly savvy body lift. I'm looking to save money with the body lift. my question is, when doing a BL, is it necessary to do a MML at the same time? if so, does anyone know of any good brands who offer a package deal? what problems will i run into during installation? Thank you

You don’t have to do it at the same tine, but it will improve your transfer case angle and set you up down the road. Brown dog 1” rubber motor mounts are nice but you could do a spacer if your engine mounts are good. If they are original chances are they are not. You’ll need to adjust your transfer case shifter too.

If you forgo the mml with the body lift you’ll need to move your fan shroud down.

You are going to need adjustable trac bars or at least in the front and bracket in the rear going with a three inch lift at some point.

I haven’t looked at it but is there a part I need for the shifter? And same thing for the shroud or can I just drill new holes or something? I can but a mml later I’d just rather not right now

Well after all the dumb questions and great responses I got done what I wanted on the tj. All in all i ended up doing the 3” savvy progressive springs, Rancho rs5000x shocks/stabilizer, and drove about an hour and a half to pick up a set of 5 33/12.5/15 duratracs on procomp alloy wheels with a ton of tread on them and I snagged them for 700 bucks. Thanks to @Chris, @Alex01, @Jerry Bransford, and everyone else who helped out a lot in making my mind up. It’s nothing crazy compared to anything else on here but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Very nice looking rig and you can’t go wrong listening to those three most knowledgeable guys on the forum in my opinion
