How to lift my wrangler
 

I have a 1995 Jeep Wrangler and I want To Lift it for mudding and off
road use does any body have any suggestions on how i should lift it.

Re: How to lift my wrangler
 

two choices... suspension lift or body lift I would suggest doing a
search and some reading to learn the pros & cons of each and then maybe
come back with some additional questions after reading up a bit. There
are hundreds of different kits and ways to lift a vehicle these days.

Personally I would suggest a suspension lift, but you haven't told us
what size tires you want to run, how much you want to lift it, how much
you want to spend, etc....

If you're going to be wheeling with it and you want to lift it more than a
couple of inches, you should go with a suspension lift. It will deliver
better offroad performance and handling. One of the most reliable lift kits
out there that will not break the bank is BDS. A step down in price is
Rough Country. They are both good quality lifts, and its pretty hard to
beat BDS' lifetime warrantee.

If you're only lifting it an inch or two, then you could go with a body lift
or shackle lift instead and save quite a bit of money.

What kind of trails will it see? For my Canadian Bush road running,
33's work nice. Mine is also a daily driver.

On a YJ you are looking at new springs. How much lift is in them is
determined by how large you need to go on tires to run your trails.

You can safely go 1" higher on the body to add some tire clearance and
if needed a 1" engine lift to compensate for driveshaft angles, but
steer clear of long shackle lifts. They throw the steering geometry out
to easily so it can turn into something you have to trailer to the trail
head, rather than be street safe.
