Overview
The Rubicon Express RE6026T is a 3.5 inch Super-Ride suspension lift kit with twin tube shocks for the Jeep Cherokee XJ. It gives a higher ride stance for trail use while keeping ride quality close to stock on the road.
The kit replaces the factory lower control arms with Super-Ride arms, designed to avoid adding road noise or vibration. The lift height range is 2.5 to 3.5 inches.
Twin tube shocks are included with the kit, so the shock replacement is part of the same package as the new lower control arms.
Key features
- 3.5 inch Super-Ride suspension lift
- Replacement lower control arms that replace the factory arms
- Twin tube shocks included
- Higher ride stance for trail use
- The system is designed to keep factory-like on-road handling.
Ride height and control arm wear
Lower control arms carry the axle’s position and its braking and drive loads, so their bushings and ball joints see steady stress. When a lift replaces those arms, the new parts should be inspected as part of routine checks, since loose joints change alignment quickly and can make steering feel vague.
A higher ride stance adds leverage on the lower arms and the bump stops, so check the stop rubber and the upper mounts after a few weeks of driving. Watch for uneven tire wear, which often signals an alignment problem that needs attention.
Keep the factory lower arm hardware on hand during the install in case a bolt needs replacing, and torque each fastener to the value in the service manual for your vehicle.
- Inspect bump stops after the first drive
- Check tire wear at each rotation
