cool thanks.. do you think i will need brake lines extended or new trac bar?

 

i want to do 2 just to make it more driveable and lower cog. im going to do 33x10.5 km2s

 

Probably not. Just depends on how long your shocks are. I doubt you'll need track bar with 2"but a beefy one wouldn't hurt

 

Good enough reason for me. I like the km2's. Have you thought about adj control arms instead of the fixed?

 

not all that much. on my 87 i have rustys 4.5 with fixed short arms and the thing flexs awsome.. i see you have the RC 3 inch with 33s, how do you like that cuz i was thinking of that also.

 

I love it. I already want 35's though haha. Im getting ready to get a set of adj short arms so i can push my axle foreward an inch or so and get my tires out of the back of the fender. But yeah, great lift. Flexes good. I think im gona need longer shocks once i get the new control arms though.

 

nice that was my that was my original plans but im now thinking it would be pretty cool to be low and try and make it have a little more down travel with some long shocks..btw what shocks and stabilzer are you running im not sure what to go with.

my 87 has bilstein 5150 and i love them but wouldnt mind something cheaper

 

Ive got RC shocks and stablizer. There okay. Nothing special and not the best ride but hey, they work.

 

you want a decent LCOG build?

-build it just like you would build a much taller rig......
-longer brake lines
-skid plates
-longer shocks (preferably with relocated mounts so that you can run a much longer shock without sacrificing up travel)
-a good longarm/midarm setup, or a REALLY good short arms setup
-a double sheer style track bar (staying with a stock track bar is retarded)
- a beefy steering setup
-Cut as much as you can and bumpstop to make up for what you cant cut. i dont care what anyone here says, you want to get as much uptravel as you can when building a LCOG jeep.
-do anything you can to keep everything above the frame rails. meaning relocate tank, build a flat belly pan, ect. you are already closer to the ground, so do what you can to get that clearance back.


alot of the builds ive seen on all of the jeep forums have people trying to build a LCOG jeep because they seem to think it could be cheaper, and they end up skipping out on the much needed mods. and end up building a low jeep on big tires that just isnt very capable offroad. A good LCOG rig should be built and perform just like a good taller rig would be....just more stable.

 

Right.

Build it just like you would a Jeep on 37s and 6" lift... Just refrain from the 6" springs. Stick with 3"

 

does any one have any pics of 2 inch lift with 33s? i want to see how it sits or even some flex pics

 

flex is going to depend on the parts used for the suspension, not the lift height itself.

 

X2. Less arch in the springs better flex

 

i completly understand this. i just thought it would be nice to see some pics of other xjs at 2 inchs with 33s.thus me asking for pics, as i did in my OP

 

it will look like a 4.5" lift would at maximum flex if similar parts are used.

only difference is ride height.

i have never had 33's at 2". if you want 37's at 2" i can help ya out though.
