XposedGuts Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm planning on building up a comanche for like mudding, I'm wanting to put a 4.5" lift on it. Would it fit super swamper boggers that are 33.10x50s? I'm guessing it would with the trimming, mainly in the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 At 4.5" you could get away without trimming if you used slightly longer bumpstops. I'd trim it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XposedGuts Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 thanks for the fast responce, another question... If i was to remove the bed would my traction suffer offroad alot? What all goes into removing the bed(as far as needing to mod anything like the gas tank fill spot or anything else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxRacing282 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 unbolt it and if you plan on running an empty frame and don't care about looks to much use exhaust hanger or rope or something to keep the neck of the tank about the tank. also check the brake booster if you have one as it helps braking under loads. as far as traction goes, well imagine this. my friends 92 sanoma w/ 4.3 5sp would chirp into third, put on a flat bed and can do brake stands in third.... well used to be able to :cry: he traded it for a 93 toy and the chevy was totaled :headpop: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxRacing282 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 oh to answer your question, if your running boggers in 4wd i wouldnt worry about spinning in the mud just be careful around trees because if your rears go into a tree you go into the steering wheel. (been there done that.. a couple times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(been there done that.. a couple times) haha thanks for the tip. I'm currently looking for an MJ for sale, something for pretty cheap that runs decent. Then i plan on makin some tube doors, takin out carpet and herculing the interrior, lift, tire, locker, snorkle, ect. I had a 89 comanche sport a few years back..man do i regret selling it(had to for carpooling to school and places). So i got a cherokee thats lifted and pretty sweet now, but I'm ready for my true love again, an mj. The MJ would be for offroad only and id tow it.

FxRacing282 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 well where are you located? cause there is an 87 4.0 4x4 bed is toas and same with cab but hes asking 450 and it might be high but if your putting in tube cage then who cares about cab corners and small holes in the frame. is in chicopee mass like 20 mins from connecticuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 The bed is an easy removal. 8 bolts or something. But you'll need to put a couple peices of HSS (square tube) accross where the front mounts to hold up the gas tank. The fill neck will stay put decently on it's own, or you can stick it down however you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
