Default Can I get away with this?

Since the boy is still using my jeep for school I don't want to put a bunch of money into a lift for now, so I'm looking at this

http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/ter...ng-p-6032.html

will that work with 31's? I also have stock size tires that will be on it 90% of the time. the 31's will be for off-road use..

Is that a decent kit? anyplace else I should look for a better price etc?


TIA

You may wanna look into doing a bastard pack with leafs and shocks off a s10 or Dakota, you can get more lift for less it's a bit more work but...

Why would u switch from 31s to 235s? That lift would be fine, but u should shop around for better options, I would suggest getting shocks aswell.

The stock tires are on it now.. The 31's are on my second set of wheels that are in the garage. Only plan on putting them on when we go wheeling.

So add shocks to the shackles and coil spacers? Suggestions on which ones?

Just wondering why u would switch then tho and not just leave the 31s on it? Old man emu shocks are good, rc stage 2, Bilstein, heard that zone shocks are ok..

How can you do shackles and spacers wrong????

You don't need new shocks for shackles and spacers.
