Identifying the brand of my lift...

[Jared]

OK folks, I just bought a TJ with an approximately 3" lift on it. It came with rectangular lower control arms with red poly bushings, with the axle ends of the arms cut/angled for clearance. The coils and lower control arms are powder coated bright red. It has a relocation bracket for the rear track bar, and an adjustable front track bar. The front track bar has a red poly bushing on the axle end and a tie rod end with a jam nut on the frame end. It also seems to have come with a 1" tcase crossmember drop kit.

The reason I'm asking is the tie rod end of the front track bar is worn out and I can't find a part number to replace it. Knowing the manufacturer would make as simple as a couple phone calls.

Any help? Who all paints their lift parts bright red these days? Rancho and Skyjacker come to mind...

Thanks,
Jared

It isn't this one (2.5" Rancho lift) as my control arms are angled about 5 inches from the axle end and powder coated bright red.

Not even close to this one (4" Superlift kit)

Not this either... (Skyjacker 2.5" lift kit)

Skyjacker lists 4 different 2.5" lifts for TJ's, but none have the right type of control arms - theirs are all round tube.

Could be an older design. Sounds like Rancho to me though.

Yeah, I'm thinking with all the bright red powdercoating it's gotta be a Rancho or Skyjacker. I just wish they'd stamped their name into a part somewhere.

OK, I'm looking through some PDF files for the installation of a Rancho lift kit. It's looking like it's the one. The control arms they show in the pictures look identical to my own.

Thanks for looking.

Are the bushings tapered? (probably can't tell)
I bet it is the Rancho Rockcrawler.
