That chart works for 2wds as well. The gear is just in the transmission tail housing.

Hay all..

I am looking for a little help with deciding on a lift. I am looking to run no bigger then 33" tires and for the most part I am just looking for some trail riding since I am so new and it is my DD. I have some TJ, I know some don't like the look BUT, and I am not really worried about trimming a lot. I have sorta decided I will go with RE since RC doesn't seem to be available in my area and the people I have talked to at RC don't seem to care about whether I buy or not. I have been looking at the 3.5" (http://www.justjeeps.com/product.php?productid=28828&cat=0&page=1) and their 4.5" (http://www.justjeeps.com/product.php?productid=28837&cat=0&page=1).
And I am not really sure what the difference is with their 3.5" (http://www.justjeeps.com/product.php?productid=28819&cat=0&page=1)

I don't really know if going with the 4.5" is going to be worth the extra $400 since I won't be doing anything crazy. I just don't know if the 3.5" will be big enough and don't want to waste the money by doing it over if I get the 3.5" and need a little more...

I also really like the look of a dessert truck over a rock crawler high lift truck... Plus if I want to go nuts with a lift and water crossings I will more then likely go with a TJ since most people run them here.

HELP I am driving my self nuts trying to figure out if a 3.5 is big enough to run 33" with TJ flares and some trimming.

Plenty of ppl on here run 33s on a 3in lift. All of them however have trimmed fenders and proper bumpstopping. Even with tj flares and a 3.5in lift, you're gonna need to trim a little or bumpstop more. To answer your question, yes it will work, just make sure you trim/bumpstop enough

New Mickey thompson baja claws, 33x12.5x15. Gotta love that new tire smell

Does anyone by any chance have the dimensions of the stock leaf plate? I'm fabbing up some bumpstop plates, but my Xj is in the shop right now. I mostly need the exact distance between holes. Thanks in advance

I could go measure one but you accomplish the same thing by measuring your u bolts and the width of the leaf spring.

Like I said, I would go measure mine, but it's in the shop so it's not available

Its dark and raining here or i would go measure for you, but you know the leaf packs are 2.5 inches wide, and depending on what axle you have your tubes are 2.75 or 3 inches for 35/44 or 8.25, so around 3 inches center to center one way and either 3.25 or 3.5 inches center to center the other way.
