Better make that 3/4 " drop. My bumper is 3/4 x 11" hrs bar! Real heavy. I had to hang it on there with my cherry picker! Lol

Ive looked at about a thousand pics online of rigs with the rustys 8.5 coil and its real deceving. Some look normal and some look like Bigfoot. I dont want a Bigfoot, just room to be really flexy.

I've seen the same thing, I think some ppl are just full of chit lol

Sounds like you're scared to cut fenders... Lol I have 5.5" with 33s. Even with RE extreme flex short arms I can out crawl guys on 6.5"+ it's all in suspension geometry. I had a buddy who had a custom 5" long arm ZJ that would score upper 800s on a 20* RTI. Which is better than a majority of rigs over 7". That added 2" makes a HUGE difference when it comes to center of gravity that's not really necessary in my opinion. If I were to run 37s I'd cut a little more and add maybe .5"

Im about as well trimmed as I can go. Beyond pinch welds and re welded. Im doing a custom 3 link and wanted to eliminate my spacer and spring setup for just a spring. And i went to order the 6.5 spring and it was more than the 9 " spring. So I thought maybe time for 35's. I do well now but theres always room for improvement, heck I could just add the arms I made to my spring/spacer setup I have and see how it works. But as trimmed as i am my 33"s flex up in quite tight when im turned.

Heres how it sits with 3" bds coils and a 3" spacer

Thanks, after what you guys have mentioned and some if the pics I have seen. Im going to throw my long arms on and just see how it does with the current springs.it will get me ready for spring wheeling sooner too. This is also my dd....lol.

thanks man

I still may try to sneak in 8.8 out back before spring too.

Being an MJ, custom rear wells would be far easier than an XJ. :P mine are cut about an 1" past the pinch weld. I just threw some 16 gauge sheet metal in there along the curves of where I cut. Not too difficult. If you built your own CAs that would be an easy undertaking.

Where you from?

Sorry, that diddnt come out right. Ive already cut about 3/4 " past the welds and re welded it. I cut the outside outline of my stock flares.

You can kinda tell what I cut and replaced. I can't find the pic of where I cut right now.
