Dang... Ok my back seat FEELS like it weighs 100 lbs...
It's awkward as hell, that's for sure. I usually remove it when the pup rides along. She's 85lbs. Lol!
For 32's if you plan to flex on the trail at all, you'll need 1" bumpstop extensions up front, minimum. 2" for 33's. You can reduce that with a BL.
OP
Thats a big dawg!
@bobthetj03 , yes sir im lookin for max flex. @JMT made some 2" bump stops for my current lift during installation.
If i understand...
I have a couple Qs if you dont mind?
With 33s, can i use the current 2" bump stops?
If i add a 1" BL, should i expect to reduce the bump stops from 2" to 1"?

They’re canyons and I plan on getting Quadratec wheels when I get new tires next.
OP
Great, ty! Of course ill cycle the suspension and dial it in exactly when i get to that point.
OP
Yes. It's a 1.25" JKS body lift!

Looks good the springs are OME? OME run different kind of springs, Heavy dutyHD Medium and light duty. I got the 50000x also I bought the saddle before the horse getting my TJ in about 2 months. The exhaust pipe Im going with is the MBRP which Quadratec sells for like 250.00 getting it for sound purposes. Still debating on tires. Im leaning towards the new General ATX but in the running with Firestone MT2 or Duratracs 33's.I am planning on installing a lift with a TT on my new to me mostly stock 05 Sport.
At this time this is my plan which could be altered at any time by improvements/suggestions from more experienced Jeep heads....
As I researched I thought if I am putting all this work into a lift, we'll a TT isn't that much more stuff to do so let's do it.
Here's the plan so far..
2.5 inch lift
Rancho 5000x shocks
1.0 inch BL
Savvy shift cable
Barnes mild TT skid plate or UCF SP
Both rear upper control arms
SYE/CV driveshaft
And maybe some exhaust pipe modification if necessary
Looks like all the above can be done for right at $2000k save the exhaust mod if any.

No, the springs are ProComp 2".
Idk enough about springs yet but these ProComps are firm, not too firm and it handles better than the squishy oe springs.
My oe springs were beginning to sag at 101k when i bought it.
Rides nice and firm, handles great.
Im leaning toward 33s in March, running 3.73s with 6 speed manual.

Today these parts were to transition to my jeeps via the digits found at the end of my arms. However,
Temps is the 20s not even gonna compute wind chill discouraged me as my garage shop is like a freezer..
JKS mm spacers will go on the 97 and the yellow Brown Dog MML will go on the 05. As soon as it warms..☺
Btw, the 1" wheel spacers are for sale. Decided to go with new rims.
