Jeeppickup18 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I really want to put a 3 inch lift on my 87 but would like to see some pictures of other comanches with 3 inches first. The more pictures the better. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Stock with 235s 3" lift and 32s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwolf624 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 i too am lookin to put a lift on my MJ but i'm on the fence between the 3'' and the 5'' i'd like to see stock next to the 3'' lift if possible, Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Take a look at my build thread. I went from stock on 235's, to 2" on the same, to 31's on 2 inches, and finally on the same 31's with a 3" lift. This is all on the front, mind you. I LIKE Arizona rake. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 BTW, 5 inches is A LOT for a DD. If you plan on driving any type of distance on a regular basis with your MJ, keep it 3" and less and get your clearance by trimming. You'll thank yourself later!

benjy_26 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Yep. It kind of forces your vehicle to land properly if you catch air while blasting down desert roads. The trick to it working is having a stiff front end and a soft rear, with the shocks to handle it, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Stock 2wd on 235/75/15 tires on left, Lifted approx 3" in the middle on 31x10.50 tires, stock 4wd on 235/75/15 tires on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwolf624 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Stock 2wd on 235/75/15 tires on left, Lifted approx 3" in the middle on 31x10.50 tires, stock 4wd on 235/75/15 tires on the right kinda hard to tell at an angle but looks like a good amount of lift for a daliy driver, Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_loco Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Here's what too much lift looks like (6.5" front 8" rear). It's on 285/75/16 in the pic..... ignore the driveshaft hanging out. I'm dropping it back down to 3.5-4.5". The bed becomes useless (too hard to get the toys in) beyond this height. Don't have a pic of that but it was my favorite. ....And for giggles this is my old beast sporting 12" on 33" implement tires: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Where do you guys get 33" implement tires?!?!? A buddy of mine wants some for his XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_loco Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Buy used ones from a farmer or construction co kubota 4x4 IIRC then slap onto 16" steel rims. They won't be listed as 33" that's just what they measured to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwolf624 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 one other question cause i just thought of this, could a lwb comanche use a swb comanche lift and could a swb comanche (or lwb) use a lift off a cherokee? Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info one other question cause i just thought of this, could a lwb comanche use a swb comanche lift and could a swb comanche (or lwb) use a lift off a cherokee? Redwolf Yep.

lil_loco Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Check the scrapper or general jeep forum classifieds...... mildly lifted xjs often end up getting parted for cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroxsteve Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 You can only use the front from the Cherokee. Rear springs are wrong for the Comanche. If the Cherokee has a rear AAL you can use that but it will only give you about half the lift as on the Cherokee. And as stated above short and long bed Comanche are the same.

I got xj leafs no issue in mine. MJ leafs are 57" & XJ's are 52". Didn't you post about just buying your MJ and the lift being all jacked around on it? If XJ leafs bolt-on I would say so.... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwolf624 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 so all in all as long as the rear leaf springs are 57" you're good for lift right? Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_loco Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Odd cause I'm sure we put in an xj lift kit and it sat level. I know the shackles are different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
