Lift?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if any of you guru peoples out the could tell me how much lift would be necessary to wheel with 33's? Right now, I've got 33's on my TJ, but I've only got a 2 inch coil spacer lift and stock shocks. I want to be able to do some decent wheelin with my baby in the future, and I'm pretty sure what i've got on there will not work. At all.

Re: Lift?

4 inches is ideal. But then you may need an SYE and a dropped pitman arm to accompany the new height and make not a PITA.

Re: Lift?

Adding a 1" body lift to the 2" BB is a common setup for wheelin with 33"s. You want to make sure your shocks are long enough, many 2" BB kits come with longer shocks.

A 4" kit is ideal, with either a slipyoke eliminator kit (SYE) and CV rear driveshaft or a transfer case drop, the SYE being preferred for more ground clearance.
