I've got 8.5" with 35s and 4.56. I'm only at ~2400 rpms at ~70 mph and I wish I had a little more power through 1 and 2... So when i get around to changing my stock axles to a pair that I think will better handle the 35s (Dana 44 is what I'm aiming for) I will run 4.88s without a doubt... I was even thinking about trying to find someone with 5.13s so I could see exactly what it would feel like.

I have about 8 or 9 inches, I think, from the top of the tire to the bottom of my stock fender flares in the rear. About an inch less in the front.

I'd like to see some 33s with 4.56s...

I had to go measure.. I have 9" in the front between top of tire and bottom of flare and 8.5" in the back..

^ so what's your question?

Sincebeen

I was providing my input to this question.. (I didn't realize that "Here" in the post that followed this question was a link... cause it didn't show up that way on my iPad).

By the way, I checked this morning and I was running 2250 RPMs at 70 MPH and ~2500 at 75 MPH

Cheers,

Ok. Yea. I figured that it was best to direct him to the lift/tire set up thread. All kind of pics with all kinds of set ups.

Yeah, your answer was definately better than mine... I just spent about an hour going through that thread too. Alot of nice stuff!

1995 country how much lift can you do before a slip yoke is needed?

cdawall

until it starts to have issues. 3-4.5" for most people.

What I got going on is 3 in leaf pack lift from RC it's out of my old rig, now I bought longer shackles to get the rear up I'm running 33's but this time around I want to keep my fenders

There is no sure way to tell. You wont know if you need an sye until you lift it and drive it. Plain as that. I put a 3.5" RE (4.5" actual lift) on my 01 and i definitely need one. Other people may not, just depends.

How much can u lift ur xj with keeping mostly stock parts?

cdawall

3" for a normal lift, 4.5" if you shim the lower control arms and drill a new mount hole for the tracbar, but you really should get longer brake lines or relocate the old ones.

Ok I have a 3 inch lift now but want to go at least two more what all would u suggest replacing

cdawall

lower control arms, an adjustable tracbar, brake lines, possibly a SYE.
