mvusse Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 How much do you want to spend? Chevy drop shackles in the back, 1.75" spacer blocks in the front and 10.5x31" tires looks pretty good, and you may possibly even be able to keep your stock shocks. If not, a cheap solution is to use shock extensions for the front shocks. The tires may rub the lower control arms on full-lock steering, but either don't steer that sharp or use Grand Cherokee lower control arms as they are curved to clear the tires. But you get what you pay for. Spending a bit more money you can lift 3" or 4.5" with full rear leaf packs and after market adjustable control arms, and run 33" tires, possibly some minor trimming to the front fender area. But you will also need new shocks and brake lines that may or may not be included in the kit. Also 12.50x33" tires need rims with about 4" backspacing and 8" width, or going by tire manufacturers specs, 10" wide (and ~5" backspacing) if you will not take it off road. Stock 7" rims with 5.25" backspacing will not work with tires that wide. Motion Offroad makes 4.5" kit that is pretty complete. They can sell you long travel shocks with built in bump stops to go with it. I am currenly running 4.5" lift with the same 29" tires (P235/75R15) I had before the lift. Currently hoping to save up money for 5 rims and 5 33" tires. And welcome to the club! Beer's in the fridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Looks good to me just the way it sits. Nice MJs are too rare to be chopped up and modified, IMHO. That's what junkers are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
