1988 canadian Mj in the great state of Texas

[Zebvance]

Hey everybody just picked up My first MJ. and thought I would share. Its from canada, so it has a block warmer and the whole gauge cluster is is metric units. I thought it was neat. Any way It has a 4.5 inch rough country lift and it sits a a pretty bad rake so I plan on lifting the front 2 more inches. It has 164000 KM witch works out to 101000 miles. Its got a 4.0, with auto trans and a short bed. Here is a few pictures. I will also be making a bed cage, and bumpers soon for it. I also neew to find the parts to lift it two more inches in the front and from what I have gathered up its going to cost me like 600 bucks... So If anybody has any of the parts used that they will sell at a good price i would be interested.

 

From what I have researched I need adjustable upper and lower control arms, a adjustable trac bar. Longer sway bar links(they ones i have now are stock but the sway bar is on drop brackets(, a new drop pitman arm, and coil spacers. Place correct me if I'm wrong about any of that. the kit that came with the truck already has long enough shocks, and brake lines for 6.5 inches of lift. and a lengthen drive shaft for the rear. Anyway here are some pictures.

Can anybody help me out with the lift info?

You could probably get away with non adj. arms, you would have to figure out the length though. and they definetly can't be the stock ones because they hit where the shock bolts up at any more than 3" of lift. you will need the adj trac bar, longer sway bar links. drop pitman arm would be a good idea.

 

so i think youve pretty much got it down for what you need.

Thanks for the info. So if I went with adjustable control arms would I need upper and lowers?

That's a nice looking truck, I think I'd just lower the back to match the front. It looks sprung over which will put you at least 5-6" higher. You can go back to sprung under and get some 3" or 4" MJ lift springs from Hell Creek, Motion, a couple of others, or go to the JY and pull various Cherokee and Dakota springs which are flatter and effectively lower the rear.

 

Post up a couple of pictures of your front suspension so we can see exactly what you've got going on under there.
