Doing this lift: http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-Shocks/2-Inch-Economy-Lift-Kit-with-Rear-Add-A-Leafs-and-Twin-Tube-Shocks.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=38&t_pt=3533&t_pn=R%2fERE616 0

Getting brand new leaf springs from amazon, new U bolts for D35, more leaf spring clamps, and shock boots.

Should I get new front coils that give 2" or just stick with the spacers?

So I got a question about these Tires I found. They are like 90% tread left and they are 33x12.5x15 Dayton Timberline MT's. I have owned Timberline MT's before and loved every minute I had them, never got stuck and they were amazing in all types of weather and the sidewalls can take a beating. The guy wants $600 for them with the 6 bolt rims he has them mounted on. I asked if he could sell them separately and he said shoot him a price. So what should I offer him for the Tires alone? And if anyone is interested in the rims I can always just buy the whole lot and sell the rims. But I have to have a interested party in order to buy the rims with. Anyways let me know what you think about the price for no rims and let me know.

Here is the craigslist link.

$25/wheel is $100, so $500?


I wish they still made those tires, I had seen some on CL in my area a while back. Set of 5 for $500 and didn't have money to buy. Wish I did because those things just look mean.

Apparently, according to 4 wheel parts, that lift will not work on my 95 XJ country with Dana 35 rear and 4 wheel drive? Anyone know why?

Codenamefa

Well he made me an offer of $500 with the rims so I might take it but I really have no need for those rims at all and after doing some digging those rims are custom cnc cut because they don't exist on the internet, I spent about 3 hours trying to hunt them down with no luck, I think I went thru about 50 different rim companies and couldn't find them. They look like Cragar V-5's but they aren't, these are actually a 2 piece cnc cut rims because it has the CNC wave on the slot area. Plus the bolt area looks like you can put pretty much any cap on it. So I don't know its a 2 hour drive which is about $100 on its own and I really don't know if they are worth the trip. The measurement on the tread is 19/32 so pretty much they are almost new.

OK I have been doing a little searching on 3" coils springs so I can level out my XJ. The rear was raised by a previous owner and by jacking up the front and doing a little measuring it looks like I need 3.25"-3.5" to get her sitting level again. My thinking is to get 3" springs for the front and add the appropriate spacer to get it level after the spring is in.

I have found four 3" springs that are all roughly the same price and in my budget, but which is the better set to get? Pro Comp, Skyjacker, Rock Krawler, or Warrior. There is only a $25 difference between the most expensive and the cheapest so with them being that close I would just go with the best of the group regardless of price.

RockKrawler!
The stock spring isolaters are good for leveling. Can stack two together.

Real quick question....Pitman arm drop/sway bar drop? Yes or no on a 3 inch lift...Thanks!

SteveMongr

No need to touch the pitman arm.
Swaybar should be in the range of 10 - 20 degrees (low-high).
If you use drops for the swaybar at the frame end then a stock steering skid will not fit (if you wanted one).
Stock swaybar links are easy to lengthen if you have access to a small welder.

Alrighty thanks!

My buddy just lifted his brand new less than1500mi 4dr Rubicon W/ tow package...

He gave me his shocks and springs and even his control arms..

Control arms are useless to me but maybe I'll sell em...

Does anyone think I could use the shocks and springs? Idk how much lift if any it would give me ?

sycoglitch

Are you stock? Not sure about springs. Shocks are good for 3" lift realy if rubicon and an 1" less if not

99XJake

Yeah they're off a wrangler unlimited Rubicon 10th anniversary with tow package 4dr. And yes I'm stock height

sycoglitch

You May bottom them out. Off the top of my head i forgot the measurements for them, im running jump off rear rubis on my 01, but if you physically have them then measure but you might have an issue

99XJake

I'm fairly new to the lift game...do I compress them fully and measure as well as how they sit unpressed? If not he said sell em and I'd put it towards a 3-3.5" lift and get some bilstein 5100s
