ok i got a 6.5 inch lift already and 34's on... i want another 2 up front so when i flex i dont rub my steal front bumper..(already ripped a couple side biters off :-( ) so just getr coil spacers ?? or new whole coils..... i think my pinion gear is long enough its like a 5 inch drop i think

Increasing the height is not going to help. You need to install bumpstops to limit your up-travel.

Head over to your favorite sporting goods store and buy 6-8 hockey pucks.
Drill a 1/4 or 3/8" hole through the center of each and a cooresponding hole in the bumpstop pad on both sides of your axle.

Slip 3 or 4 pucks between the coils on both sides of your rig and run a long bolt through the pucks and the hole in the pad. secure with a nut and loc-washer.

Instant homemade bumpstops for $10-$12.

What is your current set made of? How did you drop the pinion gear? Do you mean pitman arm?

You will need to consider:
Steering angles
trackbar
brakelines
drivelin angles
control arm angels
Coil length
rear leafs/shackle angle
bumpstops

bump stop it keep it low more lift is just going to make it more unstable and roll easier

Yes, my bad pitman arm... I got enough brake like I got like a whole extra loop for travel.. I just want my rig to sit a little higher for a little play......and so the tires don't rub when I flex a ton

Again......increasing height isn't the answer, controling the upward of the movement of the axle is.

limiting up travel dose not limit flex look at the KOH rigs most of them dont have a huge amount of up travel

OMG wow dude. Haha, shut up and listen to these people, if you think you got it all figured out, why are you on here posting then?

ADDING BUMPSTOPS LIMITS YOUR UP TRAVEL, Therefore your tires wont RUB when they are flexing UP INTO THE FENDER.

OP, listen to Frank please.

Or you can stack 2, 3" spacers and call it good.

...I mean bad.

your comparing apples to oranges by comparing a full bodied xj to a buggy lol
frank hit it on the spot, or at least cut off whatever is hitting your tire

bump stop or trim. i just cut away everything that gets in the way to keep all the flex possible.

I did cut out my fenders I ordered. Bushwhackers.... its just seemed to me that my tires I bought are a little big with the current lift on there the top of the tire to top of inside the fender is like 7 inches...... not my concern its the left in right side of fender when I turn........and have extreme flex... just wanted to raise it a inch or two to clear the sides up....

You have 7" of up travel? thats a lot.

Also I might have just been me, but your last post was hard to read.

There was alot of confusing directions in that....... but yes no sway bars equals alot of flex and through this whole thread I just wanted to lift my rig a little higher on top of my lift but I bought 3 inch blocks ( they are on my old jeep) now but im taking them off and I bought 3 inch coil spacers for 50 bucks lol call me dumb but it was a cheap fix for my problem I thought ill take a pic
