I've been doing some forum digging and would like some help tipping my decision. I am looking at 4" to 5" lift kits and of course what's on the menu is Rough Country, BDS, and Rubicon Engineering ...
Bear with me!
The overall plan in the coming years is a rock crawler (the 94 YJ is my toy vehicle) but I need to take a season or two to see what breaks, what my tolerances are and the vehicle, etc. In order to eventually get to 37" tires on a big lift I'll need to upgrade both axles - and am not ready to do yet. Will buy body armor and skids, etc.
So which lift might get me through 1-2 seasons, reliably, with 33" or 35" tires? I'd like to cut my teeth on blues and blacks (I take my JTR w/ 2" lift and 35" tires on blues and blacks now). Costs are $850 for the RC X-series, $1215 for the RE, over $1500 for the BDS.
I try to live "buy once cry once" but that won't really work here. Maybe the question I'm asking is ... would the RC X-series be "good enough" until I replace the axles?
