How to fix your Rubicon Express lift.
Permalink  
So after I installed my Rubi 3.5 lift on my XJ I noticed that my rear end was a bit higher than the front. I really hated the way it looked like that and I felt stupid driving it that way. I thought that some rear weight would help. I added 700 lbs of tractor weights and it only sagged down 1 inch. As soon as the weight was taken away it was butt high again.  SO.......I bit the bullet and bought some 2 inch coil spacers for the front coils. Now it sits almost level with only about 1/2 inch higher than the rear VS the 2 3/4 high it used to sit. So here are some picts. The first set are before and the second set is after.

I run a 31x10.50x15 and yes those are the new kevlar Good years. I was skeptical at first but they do ride nice and they have tread on the sidewall so when you air down you have a larger footprint. The only problem I had was the 800 price tag for the set.

I was looking into those, but the $800 price tag, ouch... maybe in a couple years the prices will drop.smile
