jeepaholic Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Ok..I have only lifted 2 of these MJ's and both were so high that I had to completely decipher the geometries of the whole front end..If I lift MJ#3 to the max of the ACOS shouldnt i be ok without having to change anything? :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyc Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 That's really a vague question. What are you trying to accomplish? I run ACOS, but I wouldn't extend them to the max. They're really only for fine tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepaholic Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well..As stated by the manufacturer JKS..The range on the ACOS is 1.5" to 3.75"..I already have a set on my 12.5" lifted MJ that are set at 3.5" and no problems..As to being vague. :nuts: ..I would have thought that most people here would understand that i was referring to upper and lower control arms, drag link, etc..I do not believe I will have any issues only setting them at 3.5" or so..

89eliminator Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 if your gonna run them at the max of 3.5" your gonna probably need LCA's, shocks and maybe longer brake lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Track bar would not be a bad thing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 So you want to lift the front 3.5" and would like to know what other parts you'll need? -Shocks -brake lines (stock YJ lines will work) -track bar -lower control arms -maybe uppers depending on how the caster sits, but I think they'll be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Doing SOA in the rear isn't gonna give you 3" of lift, your gonna get more like 6" of lift... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepaholic Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 lol...i was countin on the shocks,b-lines, and trackbar...but good grief..The more i read the more I am thinkin the hell with it and call Rubicon Express..Wait if I don't spring it over in the rear I could get a add a leaf right?....Sorry guys I just aint use to lifting these things so little..My other ones are a little larger. :nuts: Ok..so i am thinking here...I have the following 1.ACOS 2.shocks need to get brake lines...could make control arm and trac bar..did it on MJ#1..and instead of spring over rear(be too high)..do the rear with longer shackles...Am I on the right track now? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Longer shackles are only good for an inch or so before they become a detriment. You can get yourself a 3" full-length AAL for the rear. Just make sure it's for an MJ, not an XJ. They have very different arches in their leaf packs and so AALs work differently in them. Don't forget about a longer rear brake line (a '95 Dakota line works great). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
