My buddy has a 97 zj with 3 inch budget lift he wants to fit 33s we hear if u use jk or xj front coils and move ur stock fronts to the rear it wil provide about 4 inches of lift and clearance for 33s is this true and are jk and xj front coils the same height. He said his and tj,s are the same in the front?

Zj,xj,and tj are the same front end. Not sure about jk
Front to rear is 3.5
But you still need trac bars, and control arms and a lot of trimming
I'm at 4.5 and I did minor trimming and took my front bumper off to run 33s ....rims are 15x8
Going to 15x10 soon

You dont NEED 4"s of lift to fit 33's.

33's on my zj with NO lift...only rubbed when turning and hitting a bump.



And as it sits now with a 2" BB...doesn't rub unless you hit a very big bump.

rjheger

Ya he already has adjustable control arms and trac bar drop bracket.

VictorZj

Do you wheel it at all?

Kyle 4x4 4life

Nothing to insane, but i have took it out a few times...doesn't flex the best, but hardly ever bottom out on anything...i have my xj for when i want to flex

country_boy454

3.5" lift, 34" LTBs, stock control arms, adjustable trac bars front and rear. Minor trimming on bumper in the front and pounded pinch seam back. Only rubs when flexed at full lock.

rjheger

Well ya he can cram some 33s in there now too but he is wanting to drive it lol... thats why i was askin how high it needs to go to fit 33 s and still wheel it problem free.

You can fit 35's on a 2" BB and still drive it, I've personally seen a ZJ with a 2" BB with 33's get wheeled. You just have to bumpstop accordingly to keep your tire out of your fender.


You can make any combo fit with a sawzall and a BFH, but every single noob doesn't know what a bumpstop is and therefore needs 8" of lift to fit 33's...

Lol ok we test fit a 33 on a the rear with his 3 inch and literally had bout 1/2 inch from the bald *** spare i had and the quater. So no u cant barely drive on that. And no we dont want to hack the hell out of a zj lol.. so from what i am understanding is that u want me to put bump stops on bout 1/4 inch off the axle lol. Anybody else that is not a complete dumbass have some advise for me?

So, why am I the ******* because you refuse to cut up a 10+ year old vehicle?

rjheger

No because u rather do that then to do it right but u did not do that either u just cram ur **** under it so u think it looks cool but is worthless. U may like ur worthless jeep but most people like jeeps for thier off road ability. U defeted the purpose. Not only did i tell u we dont want to chop it up but u want to keep argueing this. I started the thread asking about how much lift i can get from moving front springs to rear being he wants to propperly run 33s. I did not ask can i chop up my nice jeep to run them or can i shove them under it to be just like u and defeat the purpose of having a jeep so thanks for your worthless and retarded suggestions. "Newby,s" obviously make u look like a dumbass that u are.

People are just trying to give you some suggestions no need to start abuseing peeps. From what I'm told this whole lifting thing and large tires on the jeep has been asked once or twice. You started the thread by asking a question, which is a good thing since we wont know if we dont ask, but did you try the "search" option???? I hear that's the latest site tech thing, it has to be because very few peeps use this function.....to include you.

rjheger

Ya i tried to research a bit dod not find much info on it so probably just goin to go with a 4.5 to six inch springs aleady have trac bar and control arms but thanks for the help man.

Gee oh Dee
