WahooSteeler Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I think a good sticky under Tech or Projects would be for MJ lifts. They could list out the minimum requirements for each common lift amount. I.E., 0-3" lift can be accomplished with these kits or collection of parts and requires 1, 2, 3, 4 to be done, i.e. front brake line extension etc. Then duplicate it for over 3" to 4.5" and again for over 4.5". Maybe what separates the lift categories is when a certain amount of lift triggers another critical requirement such as control arms or a transfer case drop or SYE etc. I know the majority of members know this on their own, but I still think it would be a great sticky for quick reference instead of sifting through a ton of posts.

Dzimm Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Really here is the best "to the point" lift to tire size answers that was published by JP and Four Wheeler magazines (Quadratec also has a version of this on their site). It seems to be dead on accurate from what I have seen and hear. The MJ would fall under the XJ Cherokee category.

gogmorgo Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 The MJ has a little more leeway than the XJ as the XJ is limited by rear wheelwells which are larger on the MJ. You'll start rubbing the control arms before you get tires into fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll start rubbing the control arms before you get tires into fenders. That's a good point, however the front suffers from the same problems, such as you mention by rubbing the control arms. I feel as though that balances out to still about the same lift to tire ratio, whether it be the XJ or the MJ, especially for starters. These charts are a good starting point for anybody and it would be nice if someone could come up with some data like WahooSteeler was asking for. I agree with JeepDriver that stickies get annoying but this may be a good one, have lift to tire ratios and the common lift answers that are asked across many forums.

Pete M Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 now that we have the DIY search index we wouldn't need to sticky it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thanks Pete and Hornbrod for letting me know about the DIY search index. Been away for awhile but my son gets his license in 30 days and Jeep MJ (still have my VA custom plates) is getting back on the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
