You sure you know what caster is? Control arm drops (especially Rough Country- I know from experience) do NOT fix the caster. At 4" lift height, my caster was at 0* with the drop brackets installed. With full shims in the caster adjustment shim box, I got both sides to 2.5*.

 

my dad runs a fab shop, it's gonna be built by us. We can build anything if it's metal. We've got it covered, thanks for trying the input.

 

it's 2wd and I'm only 19 so it's my DD as of right now

 

Honestly bud, if you're not going to listen to what anybody has to say then why ask? Judging from what you're saying, you want the cheap route and not the proper route.

3" coils and spacers with the 3" leafs and shackles will probably clear those 33's with no trimming, but there will be very little flex. You will need to either redrill your track bar or get an adjustable one. Longer shocks will be a must. Extended swaybar connects will be a must. A drop pitman arm will probably be a must. Extended brake lines are a good idea. You can make extended bumpstops.

If you're going to make drop brackets it will only make sense if you drop both the upper and lower control arms. Adjustable control arms top and bottom would be a good idea. I'm assuming you won't be doing to much wheeling because it's 2wd so id recommend just leaving the sway bars on.

IMO I think it would be smarter to do the 4wd conversion first.

 

I'd just do a budget boost and throw some 31s under it for now.

 

Ok kid, if you already knew the answer, why ask in the first place?
Since you and your dad can build anything, thats great. Just build some longer arms.

 

im getting a adjustable track bar , disconnects, bump stops, and shocks. I'm not going for a cheap route but I also done want to spend a fortune. I'm asking for opinions, but not people to rip on my ideas. Thank you for the helpful input though!

 

not planning to argue. I just wanted off the topic of arguing

 

I just want to add, im also 19.

 

I don't see where they went off topic. I do see where they gave you their opinion based on their research and experience. However, you seem to be much more informed and already have had the answer before posting question.

Therefore, I'll give you what you really want:

 

Well and yes I'm an old guy anything else?

 

You're either dumber than a box of rocks or you're just a major pain in the ***.

Listen closely. Shimming the rear axle does not have a single ****ing thing to do with setting the caster of the front 2wd beam. Shim the rear axle if you want to. Go for it.

When your Jeep drives like **** don't ask for my help.

******* know it all kids.

 

I got it, sell ur jeep and this

dude you need longer control arms on the front or your whole entire fking axle will be too far back. Your springs will be bent backwards and your dd is gonna ride like **** and putting that stress from bumps n sht on your axle is going to tear everything else apart. But, your dad has a fab shop, so post a question and don't listen to what anyone has to say til your jeep falls apart. Go ahead

 

lol control arm drop brackets bring the axle back forward. Not that hard to understand.
