LIFT Question

[marklienhardt]

I have a 3.5 inch lift in my TJ.  I want to out 2inch coil spacers.  So the only extras i will need would be a slip yoke eliminator and a driveshaft, right ??

If  so, where do you recommend for me to get these parts for a good deal?

thank you

And longer shocks!!!

modern moters seems to be the place of choice right now, they are very freindly and knowledgable and have decent pricing.

Have you thought about t-case drop brackets? Cheap; but I would definately go with a SYE and driveshaft.
Longer shocks and extended brake lines are probably a safe bet with this much lift. You might consider doing something about your track bars as well. Are yours adjustable?

I would give Will at Northshore Offroad a call. He's knowledgeable and can beat most prices that are offered locally. I've shopped around for several types of Jeeps and they seem to have the best prices for gear. Northridge is good too.

If you want any advice for Jeep suspension. Give Bnine(Billy) a pm. He is the local guru for Jeep stuff. Guy is very friendly and KNOWS his Jeep suspensions.


Good Luck!

how come you need to go higher?  it will affect a lot of things badly;  steering, ride comfort, wheelbase... yea shocks and track bars and sway bar links maybe... a lot of things to consider.

if it just to fit bigger tires, think about a body lift instead.  otherwise plan things well.  look at full lift kit packages and see how many items they come with and that's a good start to what is basically required.

I not too sure about what parts to get, but i know where to get them. Canada Offroad in Lethbridge. Yes it is in lethbridge but both my buddy and i recently ordered (the same) BDS liftkits. they are the closest dealer of BDS which is why they were partially cheeper then anywhere local, BUT we also talked to the guy there (George) and he cut an EXTRA 200 bones off the price. plus free shock boots. plus free shipping. And the shipping took about 2 days. so id at least give him a call. hes a very resonable person and knowledgeable. im sure he'd give you a good deal if you tell him about it! If not all you lost was a phone call,

(403) 327-7722. Make sure you get George as he owns the store and is the ONLY one you want to talk to!

Thanks alot everyone for your info!!!  Much appreciated.

One more question.

So, 3.5 suspension lift i have.  What size tires can I fit with rims..   I know I can get 33 x12x15's  but what about a 16 or 17 inch rim with like 305's???

thank you

what are you planning on doing with this jeep? i nice daystar 1" body lift would work well to give you the extra room for the 33" tires. or maybe tube fenders. keep it low.

With that kind of suspension lift, I would also consider larger engine mounts to go with a t-case drop.

This will reduce your drive-line angle to the rear diff.
