I have 3" right now. Things I have or are coming are 4.5 front springs, RE adj. track bar, 1.5 shackles to go with the 3" in the rear, RE 6 degree shims and 4.5 LCS's. I will be getting extended brake lines. What else will I need. Eventually I will do a SYE but it will have to wait a little while. Also will it look dumb with 31" tires. Thanks in advance for the input.

Ya its going to shrink those 31's you are probably going to want to look into some new tires. Also I would recommend either getting longer UCA/LCA's or getting some drop brackets.

jeep98b

Even with 4.5" LCA's.

Kyle

If you already have extended LCA's you may be alright, but your pinion angle will be all out of wack. I would recommend getting some adj UCA's aswell.

jeep98b

I will make it next on the list.

WHY? he got the LCA's from me and i ran stock UCA's on my 4.5" lift he will be fine.

Kyle

It can be done, but I wouldnt recommend it. As already stated the pinion angle will be pretty far off.

kmanxj5050

it is off but it worked great for me for almost a year

Do it right and get Y arms. If you want to go higher still you just need to change the coils, shocks and make pinion angle adjustments. Long arms are the way to get tall. JMHO.

dabeast727

yea the pinion angle will make your pinion bearing leak. 31s will look okay ( i had a friend with 31s and 5") BUT ONLY IF YOU DONT TRIM. otherwise they look tiny, i have 32s on 4.5" and they look tiny cuz i have trimmed fenders/ Leave the flares on too

BlueXJ

There ya go 98b any thing else while you have tha attention of so many great Jeep minds?

jeep98b

I tell ya what I just learned a bunch. I do not plan on trimming right away and the wife would kill me if I got new tires again. I am not going to be doing any hard core wheeling so I think I should be good from what I have read on here. Thanks to everyone that chimed in.

So will I be good with 6* shims til' I can afford a SYE? I think thats the last question. Maybe.

jeep98b

So can anybody tell me if 6* shims will work til' I can get an SYE?

kmanxj5050

yes that is what i had, and i am still using at 6.5" until i can afford an SYE and a front driveshaft for the rear

BlueXJ

Shims will help but you may still get some vibration until you install the SYE and driveshft.
