which would you do???
Uncle Sam has repayed the loan I gave him! so here is where the question begins. I have enough money in my budget to lift my 99 XJ and buy wheels & tires... or a locker, but not both. so what would you get and why did you choose that. a quick run down on my XJ...
stock suspension. stock wheels. 30X9.50 15 AT's with about 40% tread remaining. |
Why not get a 3'' inch lift, 31's and a lunch box locker for the rear axle? Actually, how much do you want to lift it? Can you use your stock tires and wheels a little longer? Have you tried to find any of the parts used in the for sale section?

tires are the best upgrade you can do to a fourwheel drive in my opinion do the tires and then save up and get a locker later on
|
Lockers. You will get farther than any lifted guy open with 2 lockers.
|
Lift tires locker no wheels
|
Lift and tires for sure. You might end up changing your mind on the locker of even the rear end and swap in a stronger rear end. With a lift and good tires you will be able to go a lot of places. Just my thoughts. I did lift and tires 13 years ago and still haven't done lockers and go pretty much everywhere my locked buddies do.

Just put your purse down, and wheel it!:thumbup1:
|
Lockers FIRST. Locked stocker on 225 tires can do MORE than a 3" lifted rig on 31" and OPEN, anyday.
What is Budget? Flip coin on lift or tires. |
I already got a lift comming. after driving to work this morning on the black ice and snow, I'm getting tires!!! the firestone destination AT's I have now are horrible! they wouldn't hook up at all.
|
if it was mine, i would lift it with decent tires and weld the rear end, welding the gear will be a simple solution for you untill you can afford a locker
|
id go with a 3" lift and 31's that makes a GC look really good plus u can still do some good wheelin with out lockers i do all the time...i just put on a 3" RC lift and 31's on a 97 GC last night heres a pic
