Re: Possible 3 - 4" lift for cheap.. what do I need?
The axles didn't shift overan appreciable amount. Maybe 1/8 inch or so.
4 banger TJs usually don't need TC drops until you get to 4 inches or
more. From what I've been told the driveshaft on the SEs is longer
(because of the overall shorter drivetrain) so you can go higher with
than a 6 cyl before needing a TC drop.
Btw, I always recommend this site to fellow 4bangers:
