Rubicon Express 5.5 Inch Extreme-Duty Short Arm Suspension Jeep Cherokee XJ 84-01

Two Jeep enthusiasts looking to improve the quality and performance of products available to off roaders founded Rubicon Express in 1996. Located moments from the Rubicon Trail, Rubicon product are real-world tested to ensure the highest quality, comfort, and safety.

The RE6200 Extreme-Duty 5.5-inch suspension system is the ultimate suspension for XJs running factory short arm suspension geometry. It offers you the perfect combination of price, street performance, and enhanced trail capabilities. Designed for heavy trail-running, this suspension system is nearly indestructible. The heavy-duty track bar and front control arm relocation brackets allow for optimum flexibility and improved suspension geometry for better on-road ride compared when compared to lesser kits.

The kit is designed as a complete replacement suspension and includes the Extreme-Duty rear leaf springs and front coil springs. Other components include new control arms with Super-Flex spherical ball joints and Gen II sway bar disconnects. This is the best XJ lift available that retains the factory short arm design.

This suspension allows the use of 33 x 10.5 tires.

Rubicon Express recommends installing a slip yoke eliminator and CV driveshaft on stock NP231 or NP242 transfer cases. Over 3.5-inches of lift on a full-time NP242 unit may cause unacceptable vibrations on the front driveshaft, when driven in "full-time", constant use 4WD high range.

NOTE: This system can easily be upgraded to the Extreme-Duty XJ long arm suspension system at a later date.

Shocks are NOT included.
