Hello, I have just bought a 2003 Jeep TJ "RUBICON".
I am looking for a Rubicon Express 3.5 Superflex lift kit plus some other goodies.
I will be in Alberta Friday and Saturday only.
Can anyone recommend a place that may have the lift in stock?
Any info can be passed to me by telephone, as I will be away from my computer over the next couple of days... 204-293-6833.
Thanks!

Ordered the lift from Northridge today.
Thanks for the leads.
I decided to go to the Rubicon Express 4.5 Superflex lift, with shocks and HD CV Driveshaft. My rig is a 03 TJ RUBICON.

I just bought a Jeep again after not owning one for a few years. So, I'm not with a club yet... but I will hook up with The Red River Jeep Club and (WORE) Wilderness and Off Road Enthusiasts. I'll see who wheels where and get into one of the clubs.

I work as a Sales Manager for a Chrysler Dodge Jeep Dealership in Winnipg, so I am into all kinds of Mopar stuff... we own a '08 Magnum, a '99 Prowler, and I just sold my 300C to get into the RUBI.

i was one of the first members of the RRJC. then i moved to calgary and joined this club. RRJC is a good bunch of guys and gals. they have monthly meetings and get out for a club trail run at least once or twice a month. WORE is a multi vehicle group and i know a few of the people in that group. they are good guys as well. i dont know how their club is organised though.
oddly enough i work as a tech with a chrysler dealer here in calgary as well.
if you plan to join some trail runs with those guys then plan for a 33-35" tire and skid plates. i know they love the rock crawling trails that are in the whiteshell.
good luck and have fun!

Yea, I've joined RRJC, and wheeled with some of the lads from WORE.
I also lived in Calgary (NW Tuscany) for 3 years, came back to Winnipeg two years ago.
When I was on the site looking for "in stock parts", I was visiting Calgary. Ready to buy and take home "now".
And yes, I do want to go to the 33 or 35's as you suggested... only prob... the lift that I was supposed to get in a week as of August 14th has still not arrived from Northridge. Very frustrating, big mix up with availability... half of the kit/stuff is here.
Missing part of the lift kit, part of the CB kit, only got two of the four shocks, and no driveshaft.
I didn't order from the US because it would have taken two weeks, the kit from Northridge was going to be here faster. It was actually cheaper in the US, even with all the taxes etc.
I can only wait to see how this will turn out. After the first delay, Northridge reduced the price $50.
So, I have only wheeled my Rubicon Stock so far.
I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Yayee, My parts finally all arrived this afternoon. UPS still couldn't confirm what was happening with one of the packages, so Stan offered to send another set, and get me looked after, and he'd wait to sort things with UPS. But it all turned out that the stuff showed up here today.
Now, all I have to do is get my plans in place to install all this stuff. I already installed the CB on Sunday, and hooked the antenna up today when it came in.
Now the install planning must begin.

I don't know why so many people use UPS because they have to be one of the if not THE worst of the big shipping companies.
I won't buy from places south of the border that won't ship USPS instead of UPS. It's just too unpredictable...and can be VERY expensive.
