    Going from 4" lift to 3" lift?

    Hi all, first time poster long time reader. As the title states I'm playing with the thought of going from a 4" lift to 3" suspension lift. Picked up a 2000 wrangler sport that has a bare bones 4" RC lift with a 1" t-case drop. Currently running 285/75 16s with 1.5" spacers and stock steering...

    Swapping a lift from a rotted out TJ

    Hey everyone! I've got a TJ that I'm tearing into quite a bit here at home to get the good parts out of, as it's going to scrap, and have the fenders, hood, and pretty much everything in the engine bay taken out. Working on removing the engine. I looked at the springs on the TJ I'm buying to...

    Regearing and lift for 31s?

    I'm getting a TJ here before too much longer, and plan for offroading. I don't know what all it has in/on it right now, I think it has stock suspension and gears. If I get 31s for it for offroading and daily use, should I lift it, and how far? And what should I regear to? I don't want to lift...

    Tires Rubbing on Passenger Coil Spring

    Newer to Jeep life. Lifted an ‘03 TJ with 2” OME suspension kit and shortly after upgraded from stock tires to 31x10.5x15 Wildpeaks on stock wheels. The stock ecco wheels to my understanding are 15x7 with about 5.25” of backspacing on them. Initially I was rubbing on both front tires at full...

    Should I remove my drop pitman arm?

    Just picked up a 1998 Wrangler and I do have slight bump steer, really not that bad. Jeep wanders a bit above 60 on the highway. But nothing major, replaced the sway bar links as the bushings on the old one were completely gone on the bottom. Drag link and track bar seem aligned well even with...

    Need help installing Zone 4 inch lift

    My friend and I began putting a Zone 4 inch lift on my Jeep TJ today. We spent the day cutting bolts and trying to get stubborn nuts off. Using the instructions that zone provided for me I removed my control arms and began trying to remove the old springs and install the new ones. Well I guess...

    Going from a 3 inch lift to 4 inch lift

    So I currently have an 03 TJ. I bought it with a lift and 33’s already on it and I thought it was a 4inch. However I measured the springs under the weight of the jeep and i believe that they are sitting at 3inches of lift. If I were to buy 4 inch lift springs can I just swap them in or do I HAVE...

    Wanting new suspension on top of 2.5 inch body lift

    SYE plus rear driveshaft or new rear control arms?

    Hi y'all, first time post here and long time lurker, I purchased a real beat up '97 Jeep from the local takuaches last May and I have been fixing it ever since. I've been looking to eliminate vibrations that happen when getting on the freeway starting at 55mph. I recently removed the rear...

    What else will I need for a 2.5" lift?

    Hi all, I recently purchased a 2.5" Quadratec lift with the fox shocks and am planning to install it soon. I am aware that I will probably need an SYE and a CV rear driveshaft, but I am unsure of anything else I may need such as extended brake lines or new control arms. I currently have a 2"...

    '03 Wrangler Front End Re-Build Questions

    Hey Guys, I recently bought an '03 Wrangler SE. I've already tackled a handful of things that need attention (calipers, pads, rotors) but most important is Death Wobble (confirmed, definitely Death Wobble). I've dug around a bit here and already found a litany of information, much appreciated...

    Are these shocks going to be too long?

    I’m looking at the Rough Country 2.5” suspension coils and wanted to confirm they will also level. So the rep I spoke with said, yes, it levels the vehicle with a 1” rear and 2.5” front lift. Great. I want to add different shocks, so am going with a set of 4 Rancho RS5000 hydros which state...

    Do I really need a lift?

    Somewhat recently I acquired a set of metric equivalent 30×9's for my stock 03, and they rock but I want to go bigger, 32 or 33×10's. The kicker is, I very much dislike lifts as they make vehicles look like RC cars, and I'm not gonna daily an RC car, no offense... I've read in other threads one...

    Lift questions (please help me make up my mind)

    So I’m looking to lift my 2000 Sahara only looking for 2.5-3 of lift for my 32s. The most wheeling this Jeep will see is some light mountain trails that’s it. Mostly looking for a descent ride without breaking the bank too much. I was going to go with the Quadratec lift but after some research...
