HA!!! 32's or 33's without a caster change is not going to happen. Anyway congrats on the new Jeep. A good lift would be RE, tried and True. I am half RE on mine and love it. Rusty's is good as well. If you want a turn key solution and have $2500 get the Shyjacker 6 or 8" and have a field day. You will also need an SYE if you go over 3" due to the 97+ style (gay) slip yoke. Let us know if you have any more questions man.

have fun,

Todd

 

RE

 

RE 4.5. if you want 33s your gonna haveto trim your fenders.

 

Rubicon Express 4.5" and SYE, 33's with some Bushwacker flares or TJ flares. Keep in mind you might want to regear too.

 

You might want to look at Claytons long arm kit if you are going to run 33's. I think you'll be much happier(if you can afford it)

 

Well, If i use the clayton long arms and piece the rest together i can get 6" and a nice kit for about $1600. But thats only 300 shy of the rockready. Or the RE 5.5 for $1400. I think I'll use the 33 10.50 BFGs So it should fit a tad easier. How will i use my jeep? Weekend trails and fishing but often much highway. Whats a good gear for 33"s 4.10s?

 

Or.....Rusty's 4.5" for $669, 6" $999 or if i go 4.5" the RE is $750....can't decide.

 

You have any money stored up?

 

yeah, i got$11k for my truck and paid $8.5 for the jeep.

 

There is also the tomken 6" at 4wd hardware for $899. Havent heard anything bad about them yet. Heard a lot of bad things about rustys. Here is the url.

Alright, first get a SYE either a rubicon express kit or a tom woods SYE and cv shaft. Then I'd go with either rubicon express 4.5" lift. then buy bushwacker fender flares and cut to fit. NOw you can run 32's and 33's without buying the expensive lifts and you also keep articulation. Don't think you will have to regear with 32's but someone else can verify. don't know about new shocks someone else can verify that as well. SO basicaly if you know your going up get a SYE, and if you know your going to run large tires trim and add new flares because you will eventually and that can get you a base to start from. Say you wanted to take the money get a Sye, flares, and now you are down to the lift. Don't have the funds to regear just yet so you buy a add a leaf rear and a spacer front to give around 2" of hieght. With the mods you can now easily run a 31 or even squeeze a 32 if desired, I'd stay with a 31.

 

4.10 gears and 33" tires is a good combination.

I have 31" tires and 3.07 gears on the Wrangler. What a dog.

 

If you still want good on-road ride and handling stay under 4.5" of lift, 32"s and a SYE, get an SYE no matter what you do, saves you from doing rear seals all the time like me...I would have to say go with an RE kit, almost everyonme here will tell you that, I should have but money was tight and I wanted to lift, so I got Rusty's cheap 3" lift and am happy with it but didnt get a full 3"...Now I need to ask everyone a ?...I have a chance to get front coils, shocks, control arm drop brakets and track bar brackets off a Trailmaster 4" kit...Is it worth it??? Its free, all I have to do is put my 3" under this other xj as a swap....thanks and good luck with your new obsession(sp?)....andy

 

I'd say it is. From what I heard not much is lower the RUSTY'S
