Overview
The Rubicon Express RE7000T is a 4.5 inch Super-Flex short arm lift kit with twin tube shocks for the Jeep Wrangler TJ or LJ. It keeps the factory short arm suspension geometry while raising the vehicle, which suits owners who want to retain the short arm layout.
The kit is a complete suspension system with new control arms that use Super-Flex spherical ball joints. It also includes an adjustable front track bar, replacement 4.5-inch lift springs, extended bump stops, longer front brake lines and Gen II sway bar disconnects.
Twin tube shocks are included, so the shocks are replaced along with the springs and control arms.

Short arm lift basics
A short arm lift keeps the factory control arm layout and raises the vehicle with new arms and coil springs. Because the geometry stays close to stock, it is a practical choice for mixed street and trail use. Changing ride height still moves the axle and steering angles, so the alignment and driveline should be checked afterward.
Bump stops and brake lines are part of the installation for a lift this size. Extended bump stops limit how far the axle can compress before it contacts the frame. Inspect the stops and brake lines at each service, and look for rubbing at full compression on the trail.
- Check alignment after installation
- Inspect bump stops for cracks
- Look for brake line stretch at full droop
- Recheck fasteners after the first trail runs
