Jeep Lift Kits – Pro Comp, Rancho, & Rubicon Express Suspensions
Comments 528
As a quick preview, next month you guys will get to vote on your favorite set of tires & wheels to go on this Jeep. But before we put on those larger tires and wheels (which will be able to tackle those off-road terrains like no other), we’ve got to make sure that the Jeep is lifted and ready. For the March vote, choose which 1 of 3 great Jeep lift kits will raise this JK to new heights: Pro Comp, Rancho, or Rubicon Express.
Jeep lift kits are a must-have for your ride because they’re so multi-faceted. Lifting your Jeep will allow you to install larger tires and wheels, give you greater clearance over large off-road obstacles, and even level out the factory rake. This last benefit is especially important since we’ve already installed a heavy-duty Bestop bumper and WARN winch on the Jeep JK, both of which are heavy enough to increase the rake on the vehicle. But thanks to these lift kits the Jeep will be riding steady.
Choose which of these 3 great Jeep lift kits should go on the Jeep JK:
Pro Comp 4 Inch Stage 2 Lift Kit with MX6 Shocks
This is a complete bolt-on Jeep lift kit package that provides superior flexibility and improves ride quality. One of the best features is the ability to optimize your alignment with the adjustable length front upper arms. These Pro Comp lift kits also include front & rear sway bar links, bump stop extensions, brake line extension brackets, boxed control arms, and front/rear MX6 shocks.
- Lift Height: 4 inches
- Front/Rear Lift: Coil Springs
- Max Tire Size: 35×12.50
- Wheel Size Range: 15-20
Rancho 4 Inch Lift Kit with RS9000XL Shocks
Rancho uses something for their Jeep lift kits that is an industry first: rebuildable composite rod ends and patented high-articulation bushings. All of the components are powder-coated black (or red) for a sleek look and durability. Rancho lift kits include a forged pitman arm, adjustable upper arms, a front/rear track bar relocation bracket, and RS9000XL shocks.
- Lift Height: 4 inches
- Front/Rear Lift: Coil Springs
- Max Tire Size: 37×12.50
- Front Driveshaft Required
Rubicon Express Super-Flex 3.5 Inch Lift Kit with Mono-Tube Shocks
If you’re looking for a short arm suspension that retains the factory mounting locations, this Super-Flex Rubicon Express lift kit is for you. These Jeep lift kits include an HD adjustable front track bar, all four control arms (upper control arms are adjustable), front/rear stainless replacement brake lines, extended bump-stop brackets, and Mono-Tube shocks.
- Lift Height: 3.5 inches
- Max Tire Size: 35×12.50
- Super-Flex Spherical Ball Joints
- Replacement Lift Springs
Since we’re going to be lifting this Jeep, we want to add a little bit of extra protection to the bottom of the Jeep with Bestop Entry Guards. These great Jeep accessories will protect the entry area of the Jeep from scuffs and scratches. Plus, they install incredibly quickly thanks to a hidden adhesive strip.
About Pro Comp: Pro Comp first ventured into the off-road aftermarket industry with their top-of-the-line tires and wheels. Since then, they’ve established themselves with lift kits and other off-road accessories.
About Rancho: The Rancho RS9000XL shock participating in this month’s vote has been recognized by the off-road media for its innovation. 50 years of experience have gone into making these lift kits and shocks.
About Rubicon Express: With a staff full of Jeepers, Rubicon Express maintains a focus on their primary goal: to provide fellow Jeepers with the highest quality and greatest value in suspension systems.

Pro-comp has been good to me, but it looks like Rubicon Express may get some exposure on this one. Seems like some people are confused about the product vs the jeep.
