you would have no problems. I have a friend who wheels a liberty and it has a three inch lift with just regular sized tires and he did just fine in Kansas rocks. It's all about the driver haha but once you get up and going I would love to take you out to some places!
Hey all,
Just dropping in to say "hi" to all the KC guys. I'm up in Independence. Going to be lifting my 96 XJ pretty soon (fingers crossed)...the last one (94 2 door 5spd) consumed a deer at about 60mph before I got to lift it and is sitting in my garage in some sort of dismantled configuration.
A buddy is giving me 3" Rancho coils and shocks off his old donor jeep, I'm adding OME 2" leafs with a lift shackle and a RE adjustable track bar...for now. Planning on running 31x10.5 on d-windows.

My dead jeep had a new headliner in it so the wife helped me swap it over last weekend, along with the blower motor, resistor pack, and fan speed switch that had all been replaced recently in the donor before its untimely demise...

Went to pick n pull this morning. Red 94 xj sport. Front lift coils, lower control arms, zj tie rod, after market track bar with frame side drop bracket.Shocks, extended rubber brake lines. Extended swaybar disconnects. Basically a complete front lift. Hit hard right rear, leaf spring is bent. Has aftermarket rear bumper with swing away tire carrier. Right side of bumper is hammered pretty hard but might be salvageable.With time and some fab skills. The tire carrier could be used on a custom bumper project. Hell you guys might know who used to own it.
Just replaced all my steering linkages and am doing the durango box upgrade shortly.
Glad you guys got down there despite the weather.
