    Let's see pics of your YJ rigs. 2-4" Suspension lift with taller tire combos. This will help me put things into perspective and decide what I want. Thanks, John

    There is nothing that can't be fixed if you throw enough money at it,

    pro comp 4 inch, 33" trxus mt's. got the lift from mellowyellow, thanks dave :wavey:

    2003 TJ 4.0L, hardtop, Artec Trussed 8.8, 5.5 long arm currie joints, sye Tatton shaft, 35&quot; km2s, barnes 4x4 belly up skid, 11,000lb qtec winch AtoZ fab bumper and lots of rustys stuff

    I don't want to spend the money to regear. I only have a 4cyl 5spd. With that said, What tire size would be the max size before performance is compromised? 30/31/32/33"?? I have Yokohama 245's which I think is a (29 x 9.65 x 15) They rub on full turns.


    Here is a dumb question, Which end of the spring do you put the shackle on? I have always put them on the outer ends. Would it be possible to put them on the inner eye under the jeep?

    "You already lost power when the P.O. bumped up to the 245 tires. much larger and you'll be the proud owner of a 4 speed."

    Did you mean 4-cyl/5-spd ?


    That's what I thought. I specifically wanted the 4cyl/5-spd for highway driving fuel economy. I don't plan on Wheeling, just a better stance. Like I said, my yokohama 245's are new with only 2500 miles on them. I'll keep them for now but wanted to know size for the future.
    What about the kit I found?

    no he meant your going to loose the use of 5th gear. I drove humat14's jeep around florida(allot flater then here) for a few days when he had 32s on a stock 4cyl it sucked bigtime. You have to downshift at the slightest hill or sometimes just to keep up with the other cars.

    OK, I now now what you mean. With the 245's/29" Yokohama's it doesn't do too bad right now.

    Running 31's with a 4 banger, no lift, Edelbrock shocks, no tire rub, but I bottom out on the beach now and then. 5th gear is more like an overdrive on flat roads, worthless on hills. 65 is about max comfortable speed, and getting about 17 mpg.

    my friend aaron (superlifteddeef) has a 4banger with a 4 inch super lift and 32" Pro Comp M/T's and he does fine. his jeep can move and gets about 12-14 mpg. So if you go with a nice 1 inch body lift and 1 inch shackle you would be good running 31" A/T's IMO. that would be pretty damn cheap too

    31's with no lift. ! WoW ! I Have 315's or 35" BFG ATO's on my Chevy 2500HD but BFG's run really small. After they were mounted and installed on my truck, actual height was only a little over 33". Take a measurement of those 31" BFG tires and let me know what they are actually measuring in height after install.


    Thanks, John

    Least expensive way to go would be a 2" shackle lift...that would allow 31x10.5 and the 4" would allow 33x12.5. I had the rough country 4" after the 2" shackle. Nice lift but if it it a daily driver there is no 5th gear with the 4 banger and 33s.

    I have 6" stock shackles on now. That would be a 10" shackle right. I was told that it would look funny. Are the boom-a-rang shackles better?


    I found this decent 4" lift kit that has


    4) 2-3" lift add-a-leaf's / and new center pins
    4) 1 1/4" lift shackles / and hardware
    1) T-case drop kit / and hardware
    1) Pitman arm
    4) New sets of U bolts / and hardware


    Shipped to my door for 239.96
    I may or may not need the shackles after I use the add-a-leaf's but for the price, I'll get the whole kit.


    I put my 3 ton jack under the right front frame and started jacking it up until the tire just started to break the ground. After it reached an additional 4" of lift, I noticed that the fender heights were even from front to back. I also pushed up and down on the front and could hear/feel it bottom out on the bump stops. It's definitely time for some add-a-leaf to regain some of that lost spring arch.

    add-a-leafs are garbage save yourself the frustration and get something that will last and look good. Rough country 4" lifts are only $450 and they just switched to military wrapped springs to save their reputation. Mine doesn't look that bad though :shrug:

    Yankee19934, I really like the look with the 31's on 4 1/2" lift. Hmmmmmmm, I wonder if my 29"s will look too small on a 4" lift. I finally got a good look at my jeep from a distance and really noticed the front sag. The Jeep actually leans forward. Kinda like a truck with the front end rake. LOL


    I just had a fuel leak and had to drop the tank to see where it was coming from. Long story short, the Previous owner was telling me that they dropped the tank to find out why the fuel gauge wasn't working. He told me that is was a PCM chip at the sending unit on top of the tank. Dealer item for 14.00 bucks. He told me that the 92 YJ was the only year that had them. Well when he put it back together he didn't tighten the fuel line hose clamps and Wa-La, fuel leak. Anyone know if that's true about the PCM at the sending unit on top of the tank for only the 92 YJ's


    Jeep91YJ, Remember, I'm not using the add-a-leef's for additional lift, I'm using them to rearch my spring pack to gain lost inches from sag. The shackles in the kit were to give it a small lift. This will only be a daily driver. I agree the the superlift kit is much much better. I'm selling my 2003 Chevy 2500HD. It depends on how much I can get for for the truck weather or not I will go for the superlift kit. I have a few bills to pay and I'll see how much is left over. I don't owe anything on the truck so I hope it brings in good money. The more the better to play with for the Jeep. LOL
