Can I clear 33's on my 86 CJ-7? I have a Rancho 2.5 inch lift, I am not
sure if I will have to go to as body lift.


Thanks in advance,

Frank

 

You may be able to get the tires on but it will be close. Not sure how much
room you'd have after getting them on. May scrub a bit when flexing. I'd
recommend looking at longer shackles. I've got a 2 1/2 inch suspension lift
on my CJ5 with 1 1/4 inch shackles and am very pleased. I also have a 2
inch body lift but think I'd be ok without the body lift running 33's.

I had a 2.5 inch lift and Con-Ferr shackles (1" longer than stock) when I first
went to 33's. No problems with the rear tires, but the fronts rubbed the
fenders. I added a 1" body lift and trimmed the fenders under the flares,
which removed most of the rubbing, but not all.

I am not a fan of "lift" shackles more than 1" longer than stock. They
introduce other problems. A 4" spring lift would be a better solution.

I'm running 32s on a CJ5 with the same lift that you have, plus a 1" body
lift.
