SJ 8.5 inch lift coils wanting to add 2 inch spacers ( removing factory spacers)

My jeep currently has zero bumpsteer and drives straight as a arrow at 85my mph My shocks are too lobg right now anyways (meant for more lift ) im running RK 3 link long arms, double sheer trackbar and otk steering. So im just curious what if any issues im going to eun into before i install them. (Shipping now) SO does anyone see what problems i may enconter with steering?

 

Not sure what an SJ is, FSJs have leaves front and rear so not them. I'd suggest some type of high steer. Plan on adding some width because it's going to way tipsy at that height. I'm hoping to drop mine an inch or two to help with that.

 

Skyjacker. Highsteer isnt that would otk steering is?

 

And whats another inch and half going to do to make it that much more tipsy? Its not thatjust bad now. Especially since im doing armor soon im sure itll drop back down a little ....

 

OTK raises it about an inch, high steer will raise it anywhere from 3-5". Just curious why you need 10" to clear 35s. If it's not tipsy now your springs must be real stiff and removing the spacers and putting in a longer spring will loosen it up a little unless the new spring has a high spring rate.

 

looks like he would use the same springs but put 2 inch spacers on it...


I do agree that thats a ton of lift for 35's... but to each there own. with somthing like thsi its hard to say until its put together and aligned. But with a fully adjustable suspension (arms/trac bar/steering ect) I don't see any thing that sticks out. I Haven't seen one lifted that high but I would worry about pinion/drivline angles and steering angles at that hieght.

 

I also hope your not throwing blocks in the back..... lol

 

Their actually 36s, that sig was a past jeep. I just got the spacers 30( mins ago) 1.75" RE . Taking stock out so ill net 9 3/4 in front. Its getting aligned friday, i just hope i have my same smooth ride, this thing literally drives better than jeeps ive drivin.with 3" or 4.5" of lift.

And for the rear it has skyjacker 7.5 leafs with 1.5 shackles. Ill be adding shackle re-location brackets so ill net around 10" in the rear, absolutely no blocks here!

 

My tires rub and im nowhere near flexing out, well ill drive it around tom and Thursday and decide if ill keep the height im at now and remove the spacers or keep the spacers

 

Try bump stops. I have had a xj pushing over 9" of lift running 35's, IMHO i would not go bigger there is no need for all that up travel. Your rig will be more stable being lower and properly bump stopped.

 

^ I agree, BUT glad to hear no blocks. the relocates are great!

 

Trim your fenders maybe???? Heres a jeep done right on 37's. Way lower than 10".

I have bushwhackers already, my body is mint i wouldn't wanna cut anymore
That guys is all hacked up

 

My jeep sits at aboutt 4 inches oflift with 37's. Its cut, but not a ton. And i took my time and it looks good. Cuttin your jeep is key to fittin bigger meats without the lift!

 

Ok spacers are in, pinion angle looks great. Sway bars didnt need adusted. Looks good, ill see how the drive home is at 4
