First off you don't "need" 3" to fit 31" tires...

 

If you just want to lift it some fine, but its not necessarry. Maybe throw in a spacer up front and a longer shackle out back if you HAD to do something... :dunno:

Which ones what?

 

Tires??? Or spacers and shackles? Anyones spacers, most are 1.75" but some make a real 2" thickness. Look at eye to eye measurements. I have used the DAYSTAR shackles at 7.5" eye to eye, I wouldn't go any longer than that.

A spacer gos on top of your front coil springs. The effectively "lift" the height of there thickness. Keeping that thickness to 1.75 you can get away with your shocks, but longer ones may still be necessary as well. Adjusting the track bar isn't necessary, but you may notice the axle shifted slightly toward the Drivers side after lift.

 

Yes, a shackle is what is at the rear end of your leaf springs. Yours are 5.5" eye to eye. To lift the rear up 2" with a shackle only, you will need to go 4" longer eye to eye. this is because your only lifting the axle from one end of the spring. Going to a shackle that long is NOT advised! But 2" longer will net you about an additional inch over what you have now. Like I said in the first post, no lift is really necessary anyhow. this coupled with the tail high "attitude" of a MJ and you will get a more level look with a bit more height.

 

Its like a BUDGET BOOST lift.

Spacers ($35): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0389138143

 

Greaseable shackles ($49): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0199449189 (even though they say "lowering", someone on the forum used them to LIFT the back of an MJ)

 

This would be a budget lift I'd consider on my MJ, and at 2", shouldn't need longer shocks, drop arms, or any other hard parts. Just install the spacers on top of the front coil springs, put the shackles on the rear of the leaf springs, and you're done. Probably be a good idea to check the wheel alignment afterwards though...

I have 30`s on mine stock and they do not rub the wheels have alot of back space and do stick out past the flare. here's one I thought about when ordering mention Comanche Club and they will give a 10% discount he is a member on here I think.
