go to your local tire shop (not like goodyear but like mine's called Reece's tire) they ordered my federals for 448 even mounted and balanced.

I went to the junk yard today, I can get s10 leafs to bastard pack the rear, shocks for the rear, and ford coils for the front. all for 100 bucks and i plan on getting monroe shocks for 20 each totaling 140...Now im wanting to know if thats a decent price, and will this get me a 4" lift? i've been told that ill get about a 4" lift from the coils, but only 2" too... thanks!!

Hey Justin its Frank again. One more question. I decided to go with your set up of wheels and tires. Did you have to do any gear changes or were the stock gears able to handle the larger tires? Thanks again Frank

I just got a Pro Comp 2" coil spacer and rear add a leaf. will i need new shocks?

i hate to ask a question if its already been asked a lot but didnt feel like reading through 90 pages ha. anyways im wanting to do a lift on my jeep.its an 88 cherokee and i would like to save as much money as possible, i have ways to do the front and have looked into shackles and blocking for the rear but have heard bad things about the blocking. any ideas?

Find a pair of ****ty looking rims on Craigslist for cheap and paint them. I did my own wheels with a paint gun and semi gloss black enamel and they came out pretty damn professional looking. I thought they looked like $800 wheels. Just stick to DIY and you can save so much money and prolly end up with better results b/c you'd be doing it and you'd want it done right.

I have a 2001 cherokee sport that I want to put a 3 - 3.5" inch lift plus new rims and tires 31". I've owned since new..I have owned jeeps all my life (83 cj, 90 wagoneer, 01 XJ, 08 wangler). Does anyone know a good place in OKC or is the internet the best. Getting older, with no help, so it has to be easy. Thanks for the help.

Google XJ bastard pack. Its basically a chevy s10 leaf pack with the eyes cut off, and the xj main leaf placed in. Good for 3-4" lift. Grand cherokee V8 coils for the front.

So i was wondering if i got 32/1050/15 tires if they could still go on 10 inch rims and not come off the bead if i run low pressure in them? I currently run 31/1150/15 Thanks in advance

OHHNOES

Where?

The only problem with the blocking/shackle combo is that if you have really saggy leafs then it will wear them out fast, so it will droop down and you will lose some lift later on (On mine, ive had it for about 2 months and its dropped 1/2" in the rear...not really noticeable at all.) If i had to do the lift again i would do a bastard pack to net around 1.5-2 inches of lift and then put on shackles.


Edit: if you do get blocks, make certain that they are made of steel, aluminum blocks can crack. If you get blocks i recommend rocky road, they're made of solid steel

DANG! what kind of wheels you buyin? and i thought 450 for my mickey thompsons was too much

I paid 60 a peice for black steel wheels 15x8 from discount tire. Had to pay an additional three bucks a peice for the center caps though. So after install I paid 1076 for rims and tires (brand new 31'S bfg km2's with the replacement warranty) and the rims balanced and installed.
