I have a 3'' zone lift on my 99 with 31/1050s on it and it rubs at fill turn, Will a set of wheel spacers fix this? and if so what size? I do not want to do any trimming. If I do have to trim what else can I do? I was thinking going down to 30/950s if i have to

Probably your lower control arms right? Yes spacers will fix it, but a lot of people here will say that they are a bad idea unless you buy the high end ones. Wheels with less backspacing is the ideal method. They'll be pretty close cost wise so you'd benefit more from new wheels.

I plan on buying good ones. I don't believe in buying the cheap one. Hubcentric or bust.

Baja Claw TTC's are on my list unless someone has some input. What do y'all think? Daily driver and occasional trail rig.

Okay Not looking through the 100+ pages lol.

But Looking into a RC 4.5" kit with the SYE, And rear drive shaft. I was hoping someone could answer me on how they like the Flex on the system, what size tires could I go, and Does it even fit a 5sp? Its all going for around 1100 bucks minus tires and rims. And besides the stuff with the Lift what else should I replace?

You can drive pretty dumb and they are still very predictable. Dont expect to launch like a bat out of hell from a stop tho. I never stress with them in the rain

Hey guys I'm gonna need new tires on my 00' xj classic soon and being a broke college student don't have the money to do lift and tires.. So what I'm wanting to do is go 2" BB to fit some 31s. Before I get to my RE 3.5

I was thinking this one http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-...dd-a-leaf.html
Opinions if this kit is **** are appreciated! I'm guessing I'm gonna want some longer ubolts? But is there anything else I would need with this? Maybe a tiny tcase drop?

She is gonna see some offroad time before the lift gets on so is there anything I should worry about, rubbing? Maybe doing brake lines before the lift?

Thanks!
