Hi, new member and 1st time Jeep owner. So, bought a 97 TJ a couple months ago. It had a 4” body lift already on it with 35” tires. Pretty sure it has the original 22 year old suspension under it and it is shot to say the least. Was wandering if I could install a 3” or 3.5” suspension lift and drop the body lift down to 2” and still be able to run a 35? My wife throws the paddle boards on top and goes to the beach. My son hits the power lines near the house and plays in the mud. That’s about all the off-roading it sees. I know the smart money says to go with a Currie 4 or 5 inch lift but as you all know it’s expensive. I’ve already replaced the starter, alternator, ignition switch, ignition switch actuator, idler pulley, tensioner, battery and cables, master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, upgraded to Currie correct link tie rod/drag link and sway bar. If I can get by with the combo of SL/BL for now, I plan on upgrading everything to Currie down the road but this thing is already a money pit. But hey, that’s the Jeep life, right?!
Thanks
Thanks
