My transmission skid gets me stuck more than any lack of grip from the tires.  If you want brands, take a look at the BFG's, Cooper MT's, and Firestone MT's... -Paul

Replying to: erickpl (Mar 23, 2009 5:04 am) I'm looking for a good 1-3" body lift or maybe a higher suspension lift. Any suggestions?(and i have a 6 speed) Then another thing is im tring to sell the tires im taking off. I have 5 Sport King A/T's with only 4,000 miles on them. Im trying to sell them on craigs list, and dont want to mess with ebay b/c of shipping. Any ideas on how i can sell these? |

Replying to: brandon05 (Mar 23, 2009 7:02 pm) Combine THAT with a simple little 2" budget boost. A budget boost (BB) is basically coil spacers that fit on TOP of your springs. They usually require a bit longer shocks, but the ride is much like stock. That is the cheapest way to do it. You CAN go with a nice suspension lift from Old Man Emu (OME), Rubicon Express, or any other quality ones out there. You'll generally pay more for this route, but it often provides a great ride and stronger components for your Jeep. Personally, I did the 1.25" Body lift with a 2.75-3" suspension lift to give me about 4.25" total lift. I run 33x12.5x15 mud terrain tires too. -Paul

Replying to: erickpl (Mar 27, 2009 12:21 pm) Im going to replace my 2" spacer with a 3" spacer. I just dont want to mess w/ a body lift since i have a 6 speed and im worried about the looks of a body lift. Anyways, Some people hace said it is optional to change the shocks and others have said it is highly recomended. can i keep these on, or should i switch them out? If i need to change them what should i go with?

Replying to: brandon05 (Mar 28, 2009 7:42 am) Personally, I run Old Man Emu shocks and LOVE em. My TJ has a 1" BL, but you'd be hard pressed to notice unless you know exactly where to look. A BL is a LOT less obvious on darker Jeeps. I have a manual. I did the body and motor lift together. The motor lift gives the motor a bit of a tilt to minimize issues with shifters. It also flattens the angle for the driveshaft to reduce vibes you may encounter with a lift. I had vibes with the OME lift, so I installed the motor lift and all is great now. If you do a BL, but do NOT do a motor lift, you WILL need to relocate the fan shroud around your cooling fan. If you don't, well, let's just say you don't wanna find out. Here's my TJ with the OME lift and JKS BL/MML setup.   If you look in the rear wheel well in the following pic, you can see the gap created by the body lift... not really noticeable.  -Paul |
