Hi hey got my first lift install going on and have Rc adjustable uca,lca and the drop kit for the arms , and adjustable track bar with drop mount 6 inch coils and eldebrock xtreme IAS shocks all around with the RC inner tie rod .in the rear i have 3 inch leaf pac and RC shackels which give me 5 inchs of lift in the rear , stanless brake lines for the lift . would like to run 35 inch tires and was wondering if i could get some input on if i was missing any thing. Oh yeah SYE on the way for the jeep 1996 XJ 2 dr 5 speed . had a 94 4 dr XJ went trail riding once and broke it good . So now i would like to get this one up and running and hope to make it out to the trails a few more times than once...any feed back would be great

 

thanks for the input! i am broke,however i still want to be safe on road/capable off road. so i will spend the money if needed.i have read some bad reviews on rough country about ride quality but it is cheap! so which do you think better? any opinions appreciated!

what axles are you running?

 

Any other comments / suggestions on choosing a tire? Any input is most welcomed.

BFG All terrains would be my choice for on/off road. I run them now and have 0 vibes.

 

Hi the stock dana 30 and 35

 

at some point will be running 4.11 gears frnt and rear but that will happen over the winter save cash for that up grade . Would really like to stay in the 35 inch tire range but if i had to would go to 33s

 

Hey everyone, I'm looking a to buy a 3.5" lift with full packs and shocks. Can anyone point me in a good direction of a relatively cheap but good quality lift that does well on the road? The jeep will for the most part be my daily driver

Thanks

 

What's a good tire for deep snow? Wantin to go with a radial 35 or 36

 

stock dana 30,35 will be up grading to 4.56 gears in futre

 

I am looking in to getting a lift somewhere between 4.5 - 6.5". I have an NP242 TC and I have been looking around and I cannot find a SYE/CV for this transfer case. The places I find state its for the 231 only. Any help?

 

for a DD michelins would be my choice. have heard from alot of people that have run them and they are awesome on the road. quiet, wear awesome and do great in the snow

for the road or on the trail? in that size your options are mainly leaning towards mud tires and i loved my interco trxus m/ts in the snow.


you will hear alot of mixed opinions on this. i would go with iron rocks 3.5" lift kit myself
you will seriously want to consider a rear end swap for tires that big on a dana 35. you will also hear mixed opinions on this but in the end, a D35 is a weak axle and i wouldnt really even trust it on 33s. try to find an 8.25 out of a 97 or newer xj or even better, a D44.

there was a site, maybe it was tom woods or im not entirely sure that sold them..i will try to dig it up. but the 242 SYE was more expensive.

 

post up the links to the ones you find and let people critique them. By far the best way to get good input on the kits.
You in ROTC? I just spent a whole month shooting at cadets in the woods of fort lewis

 

could also do an 8.8 conversion cause 44 are harder to come by

 

8.8 ?? ford ?? axle
