Overview
The Rubicon Express 3.5-inch Super-Ride Short Arm Lift Kit with Rear Leaf Springs and Monotube Shocks, part number RE6025M (R/ERE6025M), is a 3.5-inch lift for the Jeep Cherokee XJ. It gives XJ owners a higher stance and better trail performance while keeping factory-like on-road handling and ride quality.
The kit replaces the lower control arms with Rubicon Express Super-Ride arms, which the company says remove the weak factory arms without adding road noise or vibration. The kit also includes rear leaf springs and monotube shocks, and the listed lift height range is 0 to 3.5 inches. The product is built for 31-inch tires.
It fits the 1984 to 2001 Jeep Cherokee (XJ). It is a direct fit.
Key features
- 3.5-inch lift from the Super-Ride system

- Rear leaf springs for the rear lift
- Monotube shocks included
- Built for 31-inch tires
- Lift height range of 0 to 3.5 inches
Shocks and tire clearance
Short arm lower control arms change how the front axle moves through its travel, so steering feel and wheel path differ from the factory setup. Leaf springs at the rear carry load differently than coils, and their pack condition affects how level the vehicle sits when loaded.
Larger tires add rotating mass and can rub the fenders or steering components if the lift and tire diameter are not matched. Before choosing a tire, consider clearance at full compression and whether the fender trim needs adjusting. Monotube shocks are a common match for this type of setup because they resist heat buildup on longer drives.
- Check leaf pack bolts and U-bolts after the first drives
- Look at bushings at the front and rear hangers
- Confirm steering clearance before a tire upgrade
