Is it necessary or recommended to drop the transfer case if using a 2" budget boost? If so can you recommend a kit? Thanks.

XJUSMC I have the RE 3.5" kit with full leaf packs. I got 4.5"-5'' from it. A little more expensive but I'm very happy with it. I added a 1" front spacer to level it. Front was about 1" lower after I installed the kit. Still level now.No settling after 8 months. 33x10.50x15 BFG KM2s fit fine. Rubicon Express is closed if you check there website. Don't know for how long.

On that note I ran downstairs to the garage to measure and I'm at 24" from center of hub to stock fender edge without flairs. I know stock is supposed to be around 17 so I'm guessing I have about 5-5.5" of lift right?

10.5" vs 12.5" tires
Quick question....
What is the pros and cons of having a 12.5" width tires.
I see a lot of members running 10.5" instead of 12.5".....
I'm gonna be running 33" on 15x8" rims with a 5.5" lift, is that matters.
Thx.

Would I get any substantial lift if I do a bastard pack with stock '92 Wrangler leafs on my XJ? I want to match my 3.5" coils I have lying in wait

Bronco II springs
I got a set of Bronco II front coil spring to put on my stock 89 jeep and they only gave me 1/2" of lift?? The springs i have are only 13". Did I get them off the wrong year??

just harder to fit. And more weight to push if your not geared properly. Im running 33x12.5 now. Going to 35x12.5 on stock gears until i get some money
