Dammerung Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I’m trying to see what combos people have on their trucks with tire, rim and lift sizes. Personally, I want to see some 31x10.50x15 tires on stock rims at stock height because that’s what I’m considering next tire change, but let’s see what everyone’s got!

mnkyboy Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Around 7" and 37s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88towmanche Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 31's with a puck an shackle lift. Think it would have worked stock - got about 1-3/4" out of the budget lift - did swap out the LCA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88towmanche Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Feels mostly like stock to me, lost a little bit of grunt going up to that tire size - planning on swapping out the axles to get different gearing (3.07 to 4.10) as I intend to use the rig primarily to tow the boat around - but no complaints just driving it for fun with a light or no load.

88towmanche Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Also - think I put the LCA's in back-assward, but haven't noticed any problems, will get around to turning them around one of these days - think the oval bushing is supposed to be on the axle side - had a 50/50 shot of getting it right......

Dammerung Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Reviving my thread because I’m trying to make a choice: cut some coils and install shackles for a 2 inch lift or just go all out and get the rusty add a leaf 3inch lift. I’ve got to put my Dana 44 in soon and I want to do this all at one time. So, anyone have pictures of 31’s on 2inches or 3 inches of lift? Some side profiles preferred, I wanna see how it sits from the side.1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer4.0 Liter w/ AW4 2WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 88towmanche's truck you see above has about what you're looking for. pucks are generally preferred over cutting a coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 My truck is on about a 3” with 31s. if you want to run an OEM Jeep wheel, you can run 31s with no lift and WJ LCAs. If I were to build one of these trucks again though, I’d build it very similarly, suspension wise. I did an AAL in the rear (from a set of XJ 4.5” lift springs, or somewhere near there), and a set of unknown brand 3” lift coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parei_doll_ia Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I measured between 2.5-3" rear with no idea what kind of springs they are, and 3" pucks in front. 31x10.5r15 with similar backspace to stock wheels. Rusty's LCAs to clear the tires. I'm gathering parts for 4.5" and maybe going up to 32s. Cutting springs is dangerous. The only springs that can be cut safely are tangential ended, ours are squared. It will make the spring rate stiffer and if it gets heated over 400 deg it will anneal the steel and ruin the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammerung Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 I’m looking at some 3 inch lift kits, with Rusty’s and Rough Country being the 2 at the top so far due to their price. I’ve heard some mixed reviews about both. Anyone have anything to say about either of them? Many of the posts I saw were older, so have they changed since?1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer4.0 Liter w/ AW4 2WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have the 3" add a leaf. easy install. rides ok, little rougher than before. I have since added a shackle and a lift puck to give me about 4" or 4.5". I don't have a photo handy but they are in my thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scguy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 4.5" coils in the front. Stock 2wd leafs with SOA on a 8.8 with 32x11.50R15. Will probably add another 3/4" spacer to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Around 6 inches with stock JK size tires (around 32") on 17" aftermarket wheels. I used 5.5" RE springs, RRO drop brackets, Core4x4 control arms and track bar, and spring over in the rear on 2wd springs with longer shackles.
