No I got the aal kit because i'm a high schooler on a budget, but the coils up front are great. I cant even complain about the AAL in the back. It's better than my brothers RC aal. I think you will love that kit. Just invest in a SYE. I was hoping I could away without one. Vibrates a little bit coasting down hills. But you will love it. Good luck!

I wanted to know what size adapters I should get for my 17 inch Moab wheels. I will have a 3.5 inch lift and 265/70/17 tires. I think the backspacing in like 6" on these wheels so should I get adapters with like a 2" spacing?

my 32's barely scrubbed at 3" on the road but you'll need to bumpstop accordingly

this x2. except 'P' version is passenger. Light truck 'LT' while generally lacking the tread depth and sidewall thickness usually can be load rated the same or better than flotation sizes in certain tires

What is everyone's opinion on Trailmaster lift kits?

My Cherokee just rolled over 244,444 miles yesterday. I wanted to put a 2" lift using spacers and shackles.

I've looked around and notice that others have mentioned a "bad shackle angle" after lifting. From what I've seen it looks like worn out leaves contribute to a bad shackle angle.

My question is in regard to the amount of miles on the stock parts. With how many miles are currently on my leaf springs, what problems would arise with putting shackles on them?

Your rear leaves are probably real saggy. I'd get replacements.

I figured, they're pretty straight when my Jeep is sitting on the ground.

Thanks!

Do your jeep the favor of doing a 2" lift with fresh leaf and coils. No other way will suit that may miles on stock leafs and coils

Correct, I incorrectly called the XJ a light truck. SUV's are considered a passenger vehicle and P tires meet the load rating. However, due to the lighter weight they would be the the easiest of all to damage on the trail.
I leave out LT tires because the load rating is excessive and would offer a tough ride. Not sure how they would perform aired-down either.
I switched from 31"s to 'P' tires of the same size with stock alloys and got much better acceleration and highway driving, and improved mileage. I drive in sand and forest trails, no rocks.

Ok I am a newbie when it comes to lifting trucks so I just wanted to make sure I get everything I need before tearing it apart to lift it. So far I have purchased the majority of the RE 3.5" lift kit with the exception of LCA's and shocks. I have also read that I will need an adjustable track bar and possibly a transfer case drop.

So I have a few questions. What is the best route to go with shocks? I am trying to get them for less than $150. If I get an adjustable track bar will I need a new mount bracket or can I use the existing one? Can anyone recommend a good transfer case drop kit. Also, when ordering shocks, do they come as a pair or individually?

I won't be doing any major offroading as this is my daily driver. I want quality products at reasonable prices. Not the top of the line and not the bottom of the barrel either. Thank you guys so much. I am a little lost right now.

Edit: I am reading that Rubicon stock shocks will work but there are conflicting comments on that route. Any input is greatly appreciated.

yeah the facts were accurate for the P I was just pointin out the LT label as well. They're weaker than the LT but like you pointed out they do perform well on the road and on most trails unless you're into serious rockin. What kinda tires are you runnin I want some 16's for my wrangler

I sent this guy an email inquiring about the brand and remaining tread depth of these tires.

Anybody recognize the tread pattern? I think the fronts and rears are different, and I can't tell how much life they have left in them.

Looks like the front are nankang mudstars the rear I can't see that we'll

I may be way off in left field here, but the first thought that came to my mind on that back left tread pattern was the old super swampers (similar to a set I had on a 97 wrangler about 13 years ago. Second thought was an old Mickey T tread pattern...front tread looks like it has a little life left, rear tread depth almost looks like half-tread, but Idk...sorry Bro, you're probably gunna have to wait him out for any real info. But I agree that they are different front and rear...
