Hello,
I have 1998 Jeep TJ manual and I have been trying to restore it slowly as I could.
It’s currently running Mickey Thompson 33” tires with Dick Derek 15” wheels.
I’m looking into upgrading to 37” tires and read numerous posts online about it’s a serious upgrade vs what could go wrong. I’m not an off-road person and this would be my daily driver.
Could you please help me understand what would it take to use 37” tires or otherwise don’t do it? What would be the amount I am looking at with support say Dana 30 and Dana 35 beef up package?
These are the things already done on her. The ride is little bumpy and don’t know if that’s the way it should be. Any help will be highly appreciated.
R/C 3.25" LIFT KIT EXHAUST MANIFOLD
NEW RADIATOR
NEW WATER PUMP
5.13 GEAR PACKAGE
Dana 35 AXLE SEALS
Dana 30 AXLE SEALS
H/S STEERING SHOCK TIE ROD @PITMAN ARM 43 TOOTH SPEEDO GEAR
Again I have read so many threads with variety of advice. It’s confusing for me personally because I don’t know much about mechanical parts.
if someone could please list what I must do and what could wait - that’s perfect pitch.
I understand I could stick to 33” or take 35” but I want to see why shouldn’t I go for 37 and what takes to go to 37.
thanks
