Re: Dumb question of Jeep Lift..
 

Bill,

Its more like the bottom picture on the link you posted there... so i'm
assuming it doesn't have a suspension lift to it, just the 2" body
lift. The 2" does give it a little bit of height I noticed but I'm
thinking of adding around a 2" suspension (no more than 3") to it now
since it seems I don't have a suspension lift and I need new shocks
etc... etc...

Would that be a pretty good idea? I don't want to get all crazy where
I need a ladder to get into it by any means. And I don't really want
to go up in tire size at all. So if I add a 2 - 3" suspension lift
does anyone see anything wrong with that? And any recommendations on a
reasonable Kit (w/shocks) to get into without spending the whole piggy
bank?

Thanks again to all. I will try and post a link to pics of my jeep
soon.

Aside from potential drive line problems and the steering getting all whacky
on you, no, I don't see any problems with a 2" suspension lift. None that
money can't fix, anyway.

Re: Dumb question of Jeep Lift..
 

I would say your best bet is to get a Rubicon Express 2.5" spring lift. It's
got all new springs and shocks. It will look dumb with a 2.5" spring lift
and 2" body lift, so I would remove the body lift in favor of stock mounts
or 1" mounts. Body lift sucks.

www.rubiconexpress.com for prices. Look under Wrangler YJ.

Re: Dumb question of Jeep Lift..
 

So I should remove the body lift kit (which seems fun since I didn't
install it or know all the parts to take off), which I'll have to find
some instructions for... but if I do that then I would probably go
with the 3.5 - 4" suspension lift kit.... by doing that is it going to
look dumb with the 31" wheels or will i need to go with the 33"
wheels?..... yep money solves problems but i don't want to spend it
all on the jeep... i have another project going on soon... a 1964
Mercury Parklane... yep a big ol' boat....
