2" Lift ?'s
Decided to put the teraflex 2" lift on my 04 wrangler and was wondering:
1. Is the drop pitman arm needed? 2. The Transfer case spacers needed. 3.How much will the 2" mess up the alignment? 4. I am going to go with 32x11.50x15 tires on the Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels. They should fit ok right? Not sure what the backspacing is for those wheels but I am assuming that since they are listed for the 04 they will be correct, anybody know for sure? 5. Can I use the stock shocks and if not how do I find out how long I need the replacements to be? Thanks -- Tim [____] (OIIIIIIO) |

Re: 2" Lift ?'s
Another ?.
Would I be better off with 10" wheels versus 8" with this size tire? It would just fatten it up a bit I assume. Also the wheels I am looking at are 3 5/8 backspace. Does anybody know how far out of the fenders this backspace would put the tires?

Re: 2" Lift ?'s
What would be better 32x11.50 or 31x10.5 15's as far as sticking out of
fenders. I also want to consider how they will fill the wheel wells with a 2" lift Trying to understand how the 10.5-11.5-12.5 relates to tire width.
