Well obviously there is no difference if they are both 12.50's. I was laughing at you calling his lift standard, not disagreeing that its common.

 

Yeah sorry to the op. Dident mean to get away from your orignal question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. And what i just realized/remembered is that your jeep is what you want it to be. I think i have a LCOG rig and if someone else doesent think that, its okay. I still love it!

 

my non LCOG rig is 4" and 35's. It will be getting 37's with no addition to lift height though. Maybe that will make it LCOG lol.
To me LCOG is anything that is under the recommended lift for their tire size.
Most all manufacturers recommend 6.5-8 inches of lift for a 35. so 4.5 would be LCOG. Just like 4.5" is the recommended minimum for 33's. So 3" would be LCOG.
Its really a term that doesnt have specific meaning in this community. Pirate LCOG builds are usually 3" and 39's, but thats why they are on pirate. At their overall height, it doesnt make them have any more of a LCOG than any rig here.
Obviously this is my opinion so take it for what its worth.
OP if you have questions, let me know.

 

wow i missed a lot in this thread lol

 

hahaha 3 helpful posts and 3 pages of argueing.

 

^^sounds bout right lol

 

my pontiac has a better cog than all of you. there is no set definition of a low cog build. but in my eyes anyone can slap a 33" tire on an xj and trim the fenders. stay tuned for an update on the thread linked in the original post. i have learned some things and some new products have come out since i made that.

 

X2. I don't know why every one seems to think there is some sort of standard for lcog. sure 2"on 37's is going to have a lower cog than 5" on 39.5's. But with full width axles id say they both have a lcog. Build your rig for your wheeling needs. Not someone elses who doesn't even wheel the same terrain

 

so i think im going to get the rustys 2 inch coils, rustys fixed lower control arms for the front. as for the rear i have some questions on the RC shackle relocation.

i want to use the stock leafs with these brackets and what shackles/legnths would i want to use to get the 45 deg angle and 2 inchs of lift im looking for in the rear?

 

You will want lift shackles with those. Stock ones are too small

 

I know that just which shackles should i use and what size?

 

1"boomerang shackle should work well. That's what I use anyway. With different leaf pack obviously

 

i want to use rc shackle relocation stock leafs. which shackle and length to get 2 inch lift and 45 degree shackle angle?

 

1". If it comes out a little short then add a leaf to your pack

 

Why 2" and not 3"?
