Get a 13" body lift and you should be good.





For what you're looking for... just cut the hell outa the fenders and call it a day.

Or you could use milk crates in the back and just weld another set of coils on top of the ones you have now. Nothing crazy about that

Sigh. Ok dude. For 35 inch tires just trim your fenders. But I would not stack blocks and spacers. That is a VERY dangerous. And could hurt other people. What your planing on doing is turning your jeep into a hobbled pos deathtrap.

i think you should lift higher.


you need atleast 8" to run 35's.

so just use some taller spacers and blocks.

Well I was thinkin something along this line (pic one). Oh and if you do decide to do block (pic two) , I'd suggest a sye kit because your ds might Look like that (pic 3) and you might get vibes.

on the first pic, is that wood between the unibody and frame? That second pic looks like that pile BELONGS at that vato zone as an example of what not to do. YIKES, I hope none of this crap is driven on the street, someone will get killed.

Its amazing how people think you need 10"lift for 35's on an xj(not that everyone on here is being serious). junkyard lift, cut, bumpstop accordingly. Just don't go crazy with blocks. I've seen enough broken leaf springs from peoples cheap *** "lift". If you can't afford one then just cut and bumpstp. I'm 5.5 on 35's and theres plenty who run them with less

You'll need bigger axles I think to turn a bigger tire? In a trail or climbing
