    Bought an '02 TJ, how to determine current lift?

    Hi there everyone, first post so be gentle. I just bought a red '02 TJ after a few years of poking around looking for the right one and trying to figure out whether I wanted an XJ or a TJ more. Needless to say I'm smitten and already looking to start building. The previous owner (number 3 and...

    California Anyone from SoCal willing to let me tag along as a passenger in their mid-arm built TJ on 35s?

    Anyone from SoCal willing to let me tag along as a passenger in their mid arm built Tj on 35s street/offroad I’m in the process of trying to map out my build and would just like to know what the savvy/Currie ride feels like. I bought my jeep last year without knowing better. I saw a winch...

    Questions about a 2.5 inch lift kit

    I have a 2001 Jeep TJ 4.0L I6 that I bought a couple months ago and is completely stock. The engine is very nice and well taken care of even with the 160,000 miles on it. The front end has almost been completely redone as well. I want some advice on getting a 2.5" RC lift with 33" tires and I...

    Will a 3.75" lift need a SYE?

    I have a 97 sport, with a 2.5" Rough Country lift kit, (shocks&springs) and i have lowered the transfer 1" due the pinion angle. I wanna install a 1.25" BODY lift to get a 3.75" in total and wear 33s with enough flex space, but will I need something more than that? The ride right now is...

    Trail Master lift?

    Looking to put some new springs and shocks under my TJ and found a guy selling a 4” lift locally but he can’t remember the brand of the lift but he said the shocks say Trail Master. Anyone know anything about Trail Master lifts for the TJ? Looks like no one really sells them anymore, but a lot...

    97 Wrangler Suspension Advice

    First post here hoping for some advice. We originally just lifted the Jeep with a Rough Country 3.25 to add bigger tires and wheels for summer cruising, but now wanting a better kit. Narrowed it down to 2 that work well for us. Should I go with the Zone 4in with Fox Shock upgrade or the...

    Newb needs lift kit, wheel, and tire recommendations

    Loaded question I know but I have a 2006 TJ X (two door, maybe that's a given, I'm a newb). Mostly on-road driving, maybe 0-2 times a year light off roading opportunities. Nothing super aggressive - maybe 2.5 inch lift or less, and 31 inch tires? Looking for some straight forward...

    Jeep TJ build JTR

    So I'm a complete noob when it comes to the Jeep brand. Although for short period of time I own the XJ. I never got that big into Off roading. I was mostly a big Harley guy but now on entering into the Jeep world. So might seem silly but I don't know if my jeeps lifted or not. I purchased it...

    Are these shocks going to be too long?

    I’m looking at the Rough Country 2.5” suspension coils and wanted to confirm they will also level. So the rep I spoke with said, yes, it levels the vehicle with a 1” rear and 2.5” front lift. Great. I want to add different shocks, so am going with a set of 4 Rancho RS5000 hydros which state...

    What will I need to go from a 245/75R15 to a 265/75R16 tire?

    Newb to the forum. This is my first post. Had my 04 rubicon for awhile now and really wanting to do a minimal lift to go up to a 265 75 16 tire. Thought about the ome route but seems a bit expensive for me. And trying to stay away from spring spacers that are too big. Got some h&r springs...

    SOLD 2” BDS Rear Springs - TJ

    Only had these on my Jeep for about 700-800 miles, so they are like new. Good quality, just sat too tall on my lightweight Jeep with the rear coil relocator brackets I have installed. I suspect they would work well if paired with a 3” front spring, but would obviously vary based on the weight...

    What should I change next to make my TJ drive better?

    I have a 5 inch lift on my 98 Jeep Wrangler tj. I have recently started to improve my lift so it would drive better. I started with the front lowers control arms. I figured it was time for something else to be added. What should I change next? Rear upper control arms or the front track bar is...

    So I am looking to upgrade my current 2.5 lift to a 4-inch lift, I currently have a Skyjacker lift and I'm looking to replace it with a new Skyjacker lift. I know that this is not going to be the best, but it is what is in the budget for now. I am also planning to do an SYE with a new Driveshaft...

    Finally the lift

    So the lift kit, tires and wheels and SYE finally all got to my house and I had a free weekend to install it. Overall I’d say it was pretty straightforward. With the help of my two brothers and a car lift it took about 17 hours to install. I did a Rough Country 4 inch lift and 33x12.5 Pro Comp...

    Down size body lift or add coil spacers?

    Hello all! Looking for some advice. I just bought my 04’ TJ and it came with a 3” body lift on it. It wasn’t too big of a deal until I wanted to remove the nerf bars. They look to be set between a one inch body lift and a two inch body lift piece. Or they just cut a three inch piece and...
