Re: 1990 YJ spring lift question
I've got an 88 YJ 4 banger with a 4" pro-comp lift and 31" tires. Power
isn't really a problem except out on the freeway when running uphill or with a strong headwind. Even then, I just have to forget about 5th gear, but I can keep up in 4th. One warning on the pro-comp lift; my YJ rides like a lumber wagon down the road, so I'd strongly recommend checking around before deciding on the brand of spring lift.
