Jeep Wrangler tires on a Comanche

[Inventorben]

I recently bought an 1986 Jeep Comanche pioneer and have done a decent amount of work on it but I needed new tires. I found some wranglers off a 2007 Sahara and I know they won’t fit. I need a spacer/adapter and a lift kit to make them fit. Any suggestions?

If you want to, I guess.  It's probably not the cheap solution unless you're intent on lifting it anyways.  I use them (Moab wheels) and I bought a set of adapters from Poison Spider or G2 something.  Most of the adapters are fairly comparable because they're all 1.25-1.75" thick and made from 6061-T6.  Without knowing the tire size (stock JK tire size varies) I can't say how much lift you will need, but you will need it.

 

To do it over again I'd buy JK axles, and probably will do that at some point, but that's an entirely different discussion.

I do want to lift it probably 3 or 4 inches, but I have no clue what to get. If heared some negative reviews about add a leaf springs, like they eventually loose a some of the lift compared to when there’re new. I just do not know anything about suspension

Take a look through the MJ project threads on here, might give you some ideas.

2 inch coil spacers in front, and longer shackles in the rear will get you what you need. Most JK tires are 32 inches (at least the aluminum ones are). I ran a set of takeoffs on  mine for a long time with very little lift. There was rubbing though, but not bad enough for me to do anything about it until I went full lift.

Sweet, I finally found a 4.5 inch lift kit for a Comanche so I’m probably going to do that.

FYI, your truck is an 89 MJ from the color/ stripping.
