Not sure , but I think It was a ZJ so mid 90's , I've built a few so memory fails at times but this was a low budjet project , ended up with 2" spacers on top and 5" of total lift. If my buddy comes by I'll post a pic or two of "Goldie" for ya it was our all junk yard build pretty cool actually... Wheels like a banchee

I don't know if they flex well, but I am going to get some when I do my lift, and i do mostly wooded trails with some mud. I heard they flex decently though.

Hey Josh will you do a right up on it if you do? I would like to see it. I want to lift my Jeep 3", but do not want to spend much money.

Thanks

this guy shows the 2.25" boost. youre looking for the same concept only with either zj v8 springs and spacers or f150 coils with shackles in the rear... if you want 3" get f 150 coils in the front and make a bastard pack with shackles in the rear. adjust from there...
