i wanna put a 4.5 RC with full leaf packs, steering stabilizer, and nitro 9000 shocks on 2000 sport. What modifications (sye, control arm drop kit, etc) do i need so my jeep will ride without causing extra wear to my drivetrain? I dont really care about ride comfort otherwise i woulda bought a beamer but i dont want any extra vibes and i will be running 31's

well a t-case drop would be enough but a sye is the best option. you know you'll need new control arms and brake line but thats about it.

and imo go 33's

I have told him when I first got the lift, he said he would look into it, but I never heard back from him. I read a lot of others have had the same issue with the full leafs.

Ok thanks man. And I will go 33's but I already got a new set of 31's and I just wanna get some use out of them. And where could I get new brake lines?

quadratec has some. but you can snag some off a YJ that will give you 4 inches longer i believe

i have a 4.5" bds on 33's now and want to fit 35's. My fenders are cut already but idk if they will rub much i havent been able to find anyone around my area with 35's on jeep or small bolt ford rims to try. I also was wondering what people thought about doing a 3/4" coil spacer and a 1" or 2" block with just a transfer case drop or whether i need to do the sye? just on a budget and trying to save a little money

Ok an easy one. What size lift to run 33's on a 98 zj ?

just_jeepin

what size wheels will fit 265/70/17 tires and what should the backspacing/offset be so the tires arent tucked under my fenders, i want them to stick out a little bit

so no one knows if a 2wd driveshaft will work with a 5.5" lift? (4.5 leaf + 1" shackle)

I'd say 17x8 with a backspacing anywhere in the higher 3's, like 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 will stick out pretty wide. Im running 3 1/2 backspacing and they stick out real wide.
