Who's got 8-9" of lift and stock width axles?

[Goatslayer]

skyjacker 8" on 35" claws

Wait, if that's 8" of lift on 35s, then I must have more than 4" of lift like the previous owner said -

:dunno:

Yeah.

It needs new front leafs because they are mismatched leaf packs. I was told (on here) that CJ leafs are 2" wide and the front leafs are that wide. I'm unsure as to exactly what leafs to buy to replace the front though.

Inexperienced newbness that needs another thread...

Did you have to get your front DS extended?

Yes, and I had to go with a high angle CV (not cheap!) because a regular CV was out of droop. My t-case is clocked up a couple inches so that didn't help either. Here's what I did for steering:

Tera Knuckle with custom tie rod/draglink. For the trackbar I used the JKS over the axle bracket and "build your own" trackbar kit. I have zero bump steer and it handling is pretty decent except for lack of caster (doesn't return to center very well). The lift settled (and a winch was added) so the angle on the drag link is more flat now.
