MJ lift/tires

[TwistedSymphony]

One year ago, when I bought it.

New brakes on rear axle.

November '06

Painted, and welded up for SOA.

Rear lifted (~1 month ago). SOA + 1.5" XJ lift shackle.

Front lifted (~1 week ago). Teraflex adjustable lowers, Rusty's uppers, Skyjacker springs, and Teraflex tracbar. I know the parts are sub-par but I got it all for $250 from a local club member. It will get me started.

New tires (34x9.5) on with new spacers. I have the rear D44, and 297x shafts up front. Stock gears will stay this summer. Aussies will possibly be added when I get more $$$.

Up next is a rear bumper, and random stuff like axle seals, O2 sensor, etc.

nice project - looks like it is getting there - where did you get the spacers? are they 5x4.5? also did you sipe the tires? if so did you have a pattern or plan in mind? thanks

 

[TwistedSymphony]

Thanks for the complements. It is a fun project.

Spacers came from this place.

I recommend them. Nice on the phone, with prompt shipping, and clear instructions included. The spacers are 5x4.5 to 5x5.5. The tires are just normal TSLs, no siping. I bought them used for $350 with CJ rims...0 miles too!

I like the 34's too. Thanks for answering my ??'s on ComancheClub 87Manche!

I got some more pics...cell phone pics, so they are crappy.

As you can see...there isnt much protrusion past the fenders.

New steering wheel!

lookin good man. one kind of off topic question, where did you get you D44 brake hardware kit.

 

[TwistedSymphony]

I had to get new backing plates from the dealer. Other then that everything came from Autozone/Pepboys.

The rear is pretty flexy, do you still have the sway bar connected up front... ??

Thanks for posting picture of your 34x9.50's I was wondering about how they would look, wish they made them a little wider. I love your manche that is hopefully my next Jeep with an AX15...

They make a 34x10.50 if you're into skinny tires (Interco LTB).

Thanks!
