whatt r ya looking to accomplish?

bl and bb and you can run 35s

just a bl and you can run 33s

do you think you can post up so us simpletons can understand your posts?
WTF is a bl and a bb ?

thanx woody

body lift and budget boost

I guess I was thinking between 33s and 35s I really want 35s but its a daily driver so I should probably stick to 33 maybe ome 2inch lift and 33s

Don't worry, its all coil spring talk.

what gears do you have?
auto or stick?

why lift it? all the rage now is high clearance everything.

as far as i know, 33's will fit stock. slap some xenon fender flares on it and have plenty of cash leftover.

Well I have a stick with 4 10s for gears
I guess we will find out I got 33's and the OME lift I suppose if the 33's fit stock I could return the ome and get flat fenders we will see when everything comes in, Any one want to host a tech day?

33s will fit stock but will rub on stock rims. did you get wheels too?

I'd be glad to...

Depending on day/time I can help as well. No garage, so hosting is out. But I can bring tools/stands/jack/etc. Lemme know.

some of my upcoming Jan weekends have room as I'll be working on a 4.0l swap into a Cj-7. Plenty of room for your lift work at the same time. let me know when you are ready.

people are running 35"s with those gears so you should be fine, 33's probably aren't much bigger than stock 32"s if that's what you had just a little wider.
You may have to center your steering wheel to keep the computers happy after putting springs in and loosen the control arm bolts and retorque them. but i'm sure you guys know that stuff.

check out jkowners.com for lots of info on lifts, been doing a lot of research myself for my rig.
are you gonna wheel that rig? I'd like to play with mine some without hurting it in the tough stuff.


got some sun today!

jk-forum.com is another good site.

Yup, you should be fine with a stick and 4.10s for 33s. 35s will be ok too, just a little sluggish in 6th unless at 70 on highway.

Yeah I picked up some 16x8 black steelies 4.25 backspaceing if that matters.

Great thank you, I will let you know when the stuff comes in. I have had some payment delays and shipping delays I dont think my parts will be even on the road till wednesday and then that is just so that the tires can meet up with the wheels and what not.

Yes I definetly would like to get out and see what help I have givin to the rig once it is done, I took it to maine stock and it got a little banged up so I am hoping this will help out.

Here's the schedule at my garage this coming w/e... The lift will be occupied, but there's plenty of floorspace. Next weekend should be similar, but not confirmed yet.

looks like the parts wont be in for another week!

I'm working in the garage today and have space if you were so inclined... I'll PM you my cell phone..

Thank you all for the offer to help and advice. The parts came in late but I was able to go over to my brother's house and take care of both the lift and a brake job the rear brakes were trashed. Still no e brake but I didnt work on them very hard
