Generally folks here are into lifting, not lowering.

Is it possible to lower a Wragler ?
 

Has anyone ever seen this done ?

I'd like to drastically lower one and possibly widen the track a few
inches as well.
It would handle like a slot car.
Ideally, I'd like to make the suspension adjustable, so if the need
ever arose, the thing could be raised to its normal level.

I think this would make a cool show car.

I'd appreciate any comments regarding the feasibility of this project.

Thanks, --N

Re: Is it possible to lower a Wragler ?
 

Please, no.

I suppose if it was leaf sprung (YJ) you could just make it a 1-leaf
suspension (use just the main leaf, remove the other stock leaves) and that
would drop it quite a bit. Maybe you could flip the main over, too.. to arc
it the 'wrong' way.

If it were a coil sprung (TJ) you could just cut the coils and buy custom
shocks.

Either way, there will be a lot of clearance issues. Adjustable might need
to be some kind of hydraulic system.

But again, please, no.
