Myron Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Does anyone make a 2" lift shackle for MJ's? I got 32's today and need to go a little bigger but I'm broke lol.
Eagle Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Is this for the truck in your signature? I can run 31x10.50s with NO lift -- even on an XJ. It's even less of a problem in the rear of an MJ. With a 3-1/2" lift you have plenty of clearance for 32s as far as height. The problem is, how wide are the 32s? 31x10.50s on stock rims are VERY close to the springs and inner fender walls in the rear. 11.50 or 12.50 tires on stock rims would be an interference fit for width. Please provide more info about your setup.
MiNi Beast Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 they do make a 2in shackle for the XJ, but not the MJ but like eagle said you should not need them.
Myron Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 I have a 3 1/2" Superlift and just replaced my 31/10.50/15 Mud Kings on 3 spoke Panther wheels for 32/11.50/15 BFG Mud terrain TA KMs on 15x8 Daytonas. Don't know the backspacing. But I can get it for you if needed.I am not scrubbing in the back, I am scrubbing in the front and I know before I get on the trail again I need more lift. My plan was to do a 2"shackle in the back and 2" spacer in the front to compensate for my bigger tires. How does your XJ flex with no lift and 31's? I thought 4 1/2"s of lift was necessary to run 31's without cutting the fenders on an XJ?
mnkyboy Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 What if you put the spacers up front and go SOA in back? Your gonna need an adj trac bar if you don't already have one,and eventually your gonna want new control arms
Eagle Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 How does your XJ flex with no lift and 31's? I thought 4 1/2"s of lift was necessary to run 31's without cutting the fenders on an XJ? It flexes fine, but that's because I am on OEM rims with 5-1/4" of backspacing. NO aftermarket rims have that much, so with aftermarket rims the fat tires won't stuff inside the flares, they hit the flares. That's your problem.
Myron Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 So if I take my flares off and do some cutting I'll be fine? I'm guessing no one makes a 2" lift shackle.
