I need some advice for some plans I have.
I'll be going from 3'' and 31's (wearing out) to apx 4.5'' and would like to run 33/10.50's.
I'll tell you what I have, and what my current plans are, and would like any input or ideas.
The Jeep is a '95 4.0, 4 door, auto, 242, 178K, dana30 and 8.25.
I have:
Tera adjustable UCAs and LCAs (set at factory CA lengths)
ProComp 3'' coil springs
JKS BPEs front and rear
ProComp ES3000 3'' shocks
RE Brake lines on the way, front and rear.
1.75'' Coil Spring spacers on the way.
Rusty's adj. track bar, 3-6'' lift size?? (older silver model)
-I think I'll need a more flexible mount on the frame side...
JKS QDs, 3-6" lift I think
Rancho Spring Packs (5 leaves) and Shackles (greasable)
-These sit close to level, with the shackle back 10-12*, and I
have Rusty's long AALs- I figure I'll try replacing one with it,
and try to net 4.5''
Rusty's T-case drop
Rims are Axis 15x7.5, with 4.5'' backspacing.
TJ flares on the way, $100. (Though they may stick out too far in
the rear, and look funny. But so would keeping stock rear flares I
would imagine... Right now I have no flares.
I plan on cutting the front fenders out to fit the flares, then possibly cutting slits in the rear just past the spot welds, then bending them in. Anyone done it this way? What works best to cut with? I've heard an air body saw..
What lengths should I run on my control arms?
Which shocks would you run?
I plan to go with 10.50 tires because of my backspacing (4.5''), to reduce rubbing. Also I imagine they would be lighter. I'd like to find a 33/9.50 for a spare, to keep it closer to the body on back.
I've got TrailReady Bumpers coming this weekend.
$1,200 for the front w/light holes and brush guard, and the rear with tire carrier (no tail light guards) Had to jump on the deal, but it hurt.
Also, I've got a new drag link with ends coming, and need to order a stronger tie rod with ends as well. Alumi- Flex are on eBay for $85 right now. Are these any good?
I hope that I don't have to get a SYE now, but we'll see how it all works. It acted up at 3.5'' w/o the T-case drop. I plan on 4.56 gears eventually, a LockRite in the rear maybe... What do ya think?
