1047127 Minimum 2inch lift for 32" and 3inch lift for 33" and with a 3" lift you can run up to 33x11.50 on stock rims 12.50's will usually rub on the spring buckets at full stuff,if you wish to run 12.50's you can do so by installing a 5 inch lift[4inch might work with some tires] which will...

1047134 Have not heard about any such mod and I am also looking for increased capacity over my stock 19 gallon TJ tank the only thing I have found is a 24 gallon HD S/S tank from Currie but they want 1500.00 for it which I can not justify.Post it if you find something. [addsig]

1047222 Changing a complete axle assy is pretty easy if your comfortable working on your brakes you wont have a problem. The brakes will need to be bled after the lines are reattached and the parking brake cables will need to be disconnected and then reattached.Everything else is just unbolting...

1047225 I have run 32x11.50 with stock 3.73 gears and a 5 spd and was fairly happy with them. They would require a 2 inch lift which is cheap and does not require other mods.However if you live in a hilly area you might want to stay with 31x10.50's as this would proably reduce the amount of...

1047226 Thank for the info [addsig]

1047234 Great articulation offroad but a little more body sway onroad but the best thing is you never unhook it. [addsig]

1047237 Good catch. [addsig]

1047462 The reason super lifts are not popular is that they are much more expensive and a lot harder to get reliable performance out of.Most people running 35" tires use a 4" suspension lift and a 1" body lift. Going over 4" with stock length arms really increases the down angle on the arms...

1047464 Backspacing=distance from inner rim to mounting surface.Factory TJ rims have a 5.5"B.S. and you can run up to 33x11.50 on them with out rubbing provided you have a 3" lift. If you want to use 12.50 tires you need to get rims with 4.5" B.S.[they will stick out 1" farther] Be aware the...

1047466 Thought you would like it [addsig]

1047468 Nothing wrong with FREE [addsig]

1047549 Factory TJ bolt pattern is 5 lug on a 4.5" circle. Factory rim Backspacing is 5.5" to run 35x12.50's you need to reduce your B.S. to at least 4.5" to prevent the tires from rubbing on the spring buckets during max upward wheel travel.This would make your wheels stick out one inch...

1047677 He is correct about having to change to a different carrier when you go to very low gears the pinion has fewer teeth but they have to be bigger to fill up the same area. These bigger teeth ride deeper in the ring gear causing it to get thinner so they go to a thicker ring gear for...

1047678 Come on there has to be a Transmission Guru out there somewhere, Help I need enlightenment. [addsig]

1047684 Since you are just starting out should mention that even though you have the shifter in 4HI or 4LO you wont actually be in 4WD unless you have previously gotten out and locked your front hubs. A good habit to get into with a CJ is to stop an lock your hubs when you first hit the dirt...
