The BEST amount of lift for a Jeep TJ LJ?!?!

Комедия

Let's look at what "I" think is the best amount of lift for the 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ and LJ.
Of course this won't work for everyone, but I feel like a 2" kit can cover anything from entry level to a pretty advanced rock crawler.
Here's a video I reference on LCG Jeep builds:

    TJ belly is rarely an issue due to how short the wheel base is. 3" suspension and 1" body is money on a TJ. I glide over stuff 4 doors get turtled on. I do have a SYE of course.

    Hey Derek , good info there my friend. I run 3.5 springs and a 1'' body lift ( coming out this spring ) on my TJ with a SYE and Fox shocks . It has been a great combo for me , but I don't do any crazy off roading anymore . I am removing my body lift this spring to lower the center of gravity a little. I also run a Barnes flat belly skid and 1'' motor mount lift with Adams driveshafts. Take care sir and looking forward to you new build.

    You definitely want to look/invest in an SYE, that driveline looks like it was ready to pop out of the Xfer case. You dont need to go crazy buying a new driveline off the bat. Just find a local junkyard and pull an XJ front driveshaft and have it cut down. Then when you have the coin for a new one, you will have a good spare.

    I run 33's on my TJ with stock suspension (except 0.750" hockey pucks) and no issues. I like the looks of stock stance and full wheel wells.

    currently im on 31.5's No lift and it wheels alright....With that said i do plan on doing a Savvy tummy tuck 1.25" Body lift 1" MML And after all that i may keep my stock suspension run a spacer upfront since my Front got sagged a bit after my winch&plate ! Just speculation i feel like for my daily id like to keep it 3 inches total lift but theres seems to be more options for longer travel shocks with a 3" Coil lift ! .......Im kinda hesistant but i feel like the 3" Coil & 1.25" Body lift will do me good on the street with some stiffer sway bars Like an ORO Front dual rate bar for example and a Hellwig rear ? but also on the trails it could be a badass little rock crawler ! I still got ideas but ill figure something out and make em to life !

    What shocks are you using? I’m thinking of lcg on my LJ but shock travel is limited. Yours looks decent wondering what actual shocks you are using.

    Rubicon Express monotubes which are made by Bilstein. I can grab the part numbers when we are back from spring break. My rear doesn’t flex that well, I am thinking the rears might be a tad short.

    Awesome thanks for the info. I notice the rock krawler shocks have over 9 inches or travel so that might be the way to go.

    With the absolute crappy reliability of jeep, do you honestly think it's a good idea to put more stress on engines and transmission, by putting bigger tires on them .
