Default home made lift 94 zj

I'm in the process of lifting my zj, what i need to know is on a ruff country 3.5" how long is the bracket that i need for the track bar? They should both the same for the front as the back! I have 2" spacers on it now have my trailing arms i built them for flex. I'm wondering if i go ahead and put it together set the height of the axle then set the trailing arms there? any input would help. I plan to end up siting on 33by12.5 thanks

Good luck fitting 33s with 2". I had 4.5" on my old 93 and cut the fenders to clear the 33s. And no the track bracket is different for the front and rear.

Thats the one thing that i over looked. With ur 6" lift did you have to change the diff angle and by how much? Your jeep looks good. What size tires you running? Thanks for the input!

When the 33s go on it will be 5.5" of lift. i have the spacers on right now and i have 31by10.50s only thing it rubs is the trailing bars when the stering is cranked but the round bars will take care of that and wheel spacers. But thanks man all past experince helps.
