This is more of a confirmation. Plan to eventually lift my zj 1.5-2'' just want to run 30s. I know if you lift an xj that high, you don't have to change anything else. Is that still relevant in a zj? I'm 99.9% positive.

I ran 31's on my zj with a 2" bb. Changed nothing

You shouldn't have an issue with much. Maybe you'll rub on the big freaking plastic bumper when you turn, other than that you'll be fine.

I was just curious since I hear about people having such higher rear lift than the front. plus I plan to add an xrc winch bumper/winch and didn't want the front dropped down so much

I can order all the parts for the 3.5 kit but with the 4.5 coils substituted and with my 8.25 u-bolts substituted for cheaper than just going and getting the 3.5 kit


since my bumper wont be added until next spring I think I may just wait and see how it turns out.. if anything I can always buy the springs cheap and I'm sure someone will buy the 3.5 coils for their custom lift

I run Re 3.5" springs on my Xj with a heavy bumper and winch. I sit at 3.75" front and 4.25" in the rear. After 2 years of use and abuse

So it never settled huh...

Hey guys. Just installed a 2.5'' OME lift on my 99 XJ. Now Im in the market for tires and would like some feedback on sizes. Because I like my painted ECCO wheels I understand I may need wheel spacers to avoid rubbing the LCA with 31x10.5x15s. I also don't want to trim until I have some flat fenders, which may not be for awhile.
My question is will 31x10.5x15s fit without rubbing an ungodly amount on the LCA or fenders?
Thanks.

Ok so I wanna run 36x12.5x15 TSLs on the rear and Q78/15 TSLs up front with only 3.5" lift suggestions or concerns? Will be swapping 8.8 rear end with 4.88 gearing in both axles soon.

Concerns? Those tires might be too much for the D30 on any type of gears/shafts. As far as lift height goes you'll need to trim some sheet metal and setup some bump stops.

Why those tires do you have them laying around?

Slim357

Yes I have two 36s laying around and I want an even number tire lol. Do you think the d35 would last on the road for a while before I can do the swap? The q78 is a 35.5 so I figure itll be ok as I know alot of ppl run 35s on the D30

Xj88

2 different tire sizes is dumb for 1.

And 36s on a Dana 35 brings a few things to mind: mall crawler, retard, and boom...to name a few

dirtydoh

right now im running 31x10.50x15 on my 96 xj stock everything. Only time i rub is if i try and pop a u turn into the closest lane

DieselD

I'm planning on running 33s on a D35 temporarily until I do the 8.8 swap and THAT makes me nervous. Heavy *** 36" swampers? Bad idea.

DieselD

You could get WJ lower control arms to help with the rubbing there.
