Help With My Build Plan

[Chris]

Agree with everything you say. But I'd probably go for 1-2" coil spacers(or coils) and longer shocks to get a lil travel and clearance underneath.

@StoneCold 31s and a small lift is a good start.

Then spend time learning about the pros and cons of each mod and combination appropriate for a given tire size. Then decide what compromises work for you. Reading build threads,researching and maybe joining a 4x4 club or other ways to see tjs in action will help.

I’m thinking 1.25” body lift initially and down the road maybe some 1” springs or a spacer.

Sure, my build plans were well researched and well thought out.
BUT, I just didn't throw Parts at Blue. I drove the snot out of the TJ and really didn't do a lot of modifications. Springs and shocks. A small viair pump. An aluminum front bumper and a winch. A shelf and can holders in the back.

I've not been stuck where I couldn't get out. Never been stranded. Have always managed to go where I wanted.

I say put springs, shocks and tires on and go wheeling. The Jeep will tell you what it needs.

Thank you sir. Since I need springs, shocks, and tires.....I think I'll do just that. I'll also be reviewing your build...

I haven't seen any posts from you in a long time!

Ya, went through some changes. Getting back into it now.

General Grabbers are pretty close to true size. The X3 will likely be my next tire after I finish off these KO2's. The KO2's are not ideal in much of anything after 50% wear down. That may hold true for most tires, but I'm cheap and tend to run my tires longer than I should.

"I am, The StG!" Missed you buddy!

Long time no see @StG58 . Good to see you back! You didn’t miss anything but everything.

Those are interesting. I also like the Grabber AT/X....it has the "3 peak mountain snowflake rating" that has been made important out here....
