Lift question
Can someone direct me in the right direction here. I want to put a
lift on my YJ. At least 2 inches. What are my options. What would be the most effective, yet the most economical. I don't want to go crazy, just want a little more clearance. I have 30" tires and think I'm going to stay in that range. I don't need the best, just something that works and won't ley me down. Thanks, Greg |
Re: Lift question
Go to www.naxja.com and search around. there is an absolute ton of info
on this there. (btw, don't create a new post there, just use the search function. Someone new asks this question everyday and the answers are pretty much the same every time.) Also, look here: http://www.rocklizardfabrications.co...dget_boost.htm This is the route I'll be going on my XJ soon (with a bunch of fender trimming :) for extra tire clearance) Avoid blocks like the plague, there are plenty of good ways to get lift without ruining your springs in the process. jerryg wrote: > Can someone direct me in the right direction here.

Re: Lift question
LOTS of back posts on the subject:
4 choices: body lift 1" is fine (purists don't like them), 2" is ok, has some issues with radiator mounts and shift lever, 3" will cave in the body mounts if you go off road. Shackle lifts are cheap, anything over the minimum 1-1/4" lift will stress the mounts and screw up the caster (won't steer right). New springs are spendy when you add the shocks, most sets are really harsh riding. Spring over has about 6" as the minimum lift, can be an issue if not done right. jerryg wrote: > Can someone direct me in the right direction here. I want to put a > lift on my YJ. At least 2 inches.
