Ok I have a 2.25" boost on my zj. I would like to add a spring lift as well. Was just wondering how high I can go before I have to start changing out other major suspension parts. I know I'm probably gonna have to get extended sway links.

 

About 3.5 inches is the line before you start having to do some real modifications.

 

I guess I better start saving my Pennies then. Lol thanks.

 

Over 2 you need new shocks. Atleast on a XJ

 

As busted said 3.5 is about all you can get away with before you start getting into the realm of more parts to keep things lined up. But as Luke said socks are needed before that. It also depends on what you plan to do. If you're just doing it for looks you can get away with cutting more corners since flex and droop aren't as big of concerns as they would be if you're hiring the trails.

 

I have an XJ and droop is a main concern to me.
I wheel in some mud and rock so its all about articulation vs traction.

Need one for the other ya know?

 

I was thinking of putting on a 3" rc lift. I love wheeling. I make monthly trips to Bundy hill. How high until I need to start worrying about my drive shafts.

 

IDK about zjs but with an XJ its around 3 inches.

 

Seeing that this is my first Jeep build I've got allot to learn. Thanks for the info.

 

We are talking about GC's here man. Not much help to give advice that has nothing to do whith what he is talking about.

 

Hey I'm an ex Chevy guy. The last 2 trucks I jacked were full size and had leaf springs all the way around. I never had to worry about flex and stuff like that. I just made them big, strong, and full of horse power.

 

Ol take any advise I can get on Jeeps.

 

You have 2.25" now and want to put another 3" on, I'd save for a 5+" long arm kit like claytons or iron rock offroad.

I have a 96 XJ with 6.5" Rusty's lift and stock driveshafts. No vibes from the drive line and I dont have an SYE on my tcase.

 

You didn't change out the slip yokes or anything? Wow. I'll check that out.

 

I don't know if 7.25" sounds good on stock drive shafts.
