4"lift for CJ
« on: March 03, 2008, 08:43:32 AM »
I was wondering what 4" lift is best for my 82 CJ 7 and where to get it. I was also wondering if you have to modify the driveshafts with the lift as  have heard conflicting stories. Thanks

Check out BDS suspension.
http://www.bds-suspension.com/
The prices listed on the site...North Shore Off-road can get pretty close to that price.
and they have cheap shipping cause it's out of Vancouver.

i think rubicon express (??) offers a kit to convert everything to 2 1/2 wide leafs, which improves the ride and flex.  problem is it costs approx 1400 $$.  you could also do a coil conversion, so really, it depends on how much you want to spend and what you want to do.  i did a 2" shackle lift and 1 1/2 body, which is a nice and cheap way to do it.    as for drive shafts, i live in calgary, and went to DSI (once again, ???, it is right around the corner from modern), and have been very happy with their service.  hope this helps.
