Ebay 2" Lift
 

I'm currous about this lift kit Ebay Item number 7974980621
Complete 2" suspension lift for 97-04 Jeep Wrangler.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

Has anyone tried this type of lift? Do they work? Ok performance?

The seller says:

All of our lifts are new. The kit comes with four aluminum coil spacers that
are made from (6061) T6 aircraft aluminum.
They go under your factory coil springs and need nothing else. Even your
stock shocks will work. I put a set of these on my 98 Wrangler and put some
33's with 15X10" wheels.
If you like the way your Jeep rides now you WILL like the way your Jeep
rides with this lift. Your stock suspension stays the same. This complete
kit takes approx three hours to install with basic tools.

Are they full of it?

Thanks.

Re: Ebay 2" Lift
 

Yes and no.

If you 'just' add the spacer and don't add longer bump stops, the
springs will over compress and maybe collapse or snap.

Same goes for the shocks. The stock shocks won't snap off on
compression, they will fit that way, but on droop they will come up hard
enough to break things eventually. Repeated hits will fatigue the metal
and something will give.

It is easy enough to get shocks that are 2" taller and the longer bump
stops are easy enough to install.

Re: Ebay 2" Lift
 

As Mike says, you'll want longer shocks (alternately you could use
extended bar pin eliminator shock mounts) and bump stop extensions (only
required for the softer rear springs). You may also need some washers or
spacers to drop the transfer case cross member a bit to correct your
rear drive line angles.

As for fitting 33x12.50 tires, the seller is indeed 'full of it'. Maybe
for the street only, but not off road, especially with a disconnected
anti-sway bar.

With just the 2" boost, go no bigger than 31x10.50 tires. Add a 1" body
lift to properly clear 32x11.50 tires.
