Rubicon Express 4.5" Questions

[kaffeene]

Ok .. the toss up between R.E. 4.5" and the BDS 4.5" which have basically the same stuff included except BDS has a steering stabilizer and bump stops.

I chose to go with the R.E. 4.5" . Now first of all I called Rubicon Express and asked them if this kit included a front track bar relocation bracket and they said yes but it is not included in the descpription or picture of this kit.

Can anyone confirm that this kit comes with a front track bar relocation bracket?

Also I wanted to know if I will need 4 front springs with their kit for hardtop and tire carrier weight? Like BDS offers. Or is the R.E. kit already have heavy duty rear springs?

THanks

I am running the RE 4.5" kit.. ditch the track bars all together. :D

[kaffeene]

Well I am ditching the rear but may want to run the front.

Yes, it does come with the bracket.

[kaffeene]

Yah someone just pointed out to me in the kit picture where the bracket is.

And also that the leaf spring packs are five for front and 6 for rear as opposed to BDS 5 for front and 4 for rear with the option of 5 and 5.

Use the relocation kit / trac bar temporarily until you can get things set-up good enough that you don't need it.

I have my RE tracbar relocation bracket somewhere in my garage, if anyone wants it.

Check your state laws to make sure you dont have to have it. I had too here in NC and it had to be welded on.

Does anyone know if it the track bar has to be on the rear in NJ or both?

Geezus. Do a Google search for your state statutes. They're likely available online. Do some of your own research for a change.

I havnt had a rear track bar for 3 years. They dont check for that stuff in inspection. I think once you throw the lift and tires on there ur not going to be passing inspection anyway. Go to the private garge from now on or make your own sticker. whoops did i just say that...

yah I just found out that both trackbars are needed to pass the tilt test in NJ. Where might I find 2 extending track bars. Quadratec has one for the front but I'm not sure if they have the rear.
