Oizarod115 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 .... :roll: mk... well, 33's is tricky. you can run 33's with a 4.5" lift if you plan on cutting the fender flares back/off. or you can lift 5-5.5"+ and not worry about cutting. though you might bend em up a little if you wheel rough enough.

JOMJ87 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 i run 35s with 4.10s and i do not recomend it for a DD.I am doing 4.88s in mine and you should also do the same. Also You might need 5"s of lift if you don't want to trim any I got 7"+ on mine with 35s and I trimmed alot. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 4.75" of lift and my 31" ProComp XTerrains hit the front of the fenders, so I'm trimming that. Once that's trimmed, I'll need to trim up top a little, then I'll bumpstop some. Kind of depends on your shock setup, bumpstops, and willingness to trim, but if I were to put 33s on my truck, I'd lift it another inch, to 5.5 or 6". Front lift kits are available through Everyone, since the parts are the same as an XJ, and as far as rear kits, you can do add-a-leaf, shackles, go spring over axle, or combine all of em.

IowaJeep671 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 well all i have is the 1986 Jeep Comanche X 4x4 has the 4cl in it I'm worryed about the Power out of the 4cl seeing how it has 260k miles here is a pic not a bad buy for dirt cheap payed under 100 for her but I'm thinking of keeping with 235/75/r15s and work on puting a lift kit on it if anyone has an input on the best lift for her or so on please feel free i know nuthing about jeeps and its only my 2nd 4x4[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 i like rustys offroad products, they are a good quality and a decent price. they also have the parts to convert to a spring over axle or a full new leaf pack for mj's which is a plus depending on whichever route you want to go.

feerocknok Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 As Pete said, regear. Just make sure you drop your gears deep. You're limited to 4.88s, because that's as low as you can go with your front axle. And as Cole said, REGEAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Mines a 4 banger and 35x 12.50 and only 4.10 gears and its not to bad I just don't use 5th geasr anymore. :roll: Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 the most complete lift is the http://www.Rubiconexpress.com kit... this kit comes with literally EVERYTHING you could possibly need, other than shocks. so i geuss its not THAT complete but it just needs shocks, which are personal preference anyways. http://rustysoffroad.com/ sells pretty decent springs, however alot of folks on here have had bad experiences with them, i haven't personally, but alot of people here advise against it. whatever you do, make sure to get new control arms and trackbar, brake lines, and make sure and take pictures! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepthing07 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I orderd some stuff from rusty havent had a problem yet. when i orderd my fixed LCA's i thought they goofed and sent me ones that were to short. called them up to make sure they sent me the right arms and the guy on the other end was very friendly. turns out i did need the shorter arms cause i was useing stock uppers. he said he would swap them out if i wanted but it would throw all my front axle angles off and i would need longer uppers. stuff i have orderd from him... 3"HD coils 3.5" AAL Air tube Lower Control Arms Weld on Shock Mounts........ these were the only think that i dident care for they are cut from 2" box tube and had to use washers so the shock dident flop around... not that big of a deal but I'm sure rubicon express mounts actually fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 like i said, i personally havent had many problems... 2 things i can mention are: Renix TBS: bolts don't fit right, and we had to redneckshade-tree it to get em to work steering box brace: would NOT fit, we ended up MAKING it work, and might take it off cause it really looks like its causing MORE stress. but then again i do live like 2hrs from him and he probably doesnt want me knockin on his front door. :D usually (being 2hrs away) stuff we order comes next day shipping (if we order it early in the day) and comes the day after if its late when we order it. only had one time it didnt come that fast, and it was a 2000+$ order. it took about a week i think. stuff we've ordered. airtube/k&n full axle kits F&R including: superior chomemollys D30, D44, 4.88 gears, ARB front locker, Detroit rear locker, and assembly kits. brake-lines throttlebody spacer XJ flowmaster 50 exhaust and some other stuff.
