Mines going to be 12" of lift with 33's. For more flecks ya know.

Lets move this to bacon so we dont clog up the thread. Lol.

I'm thinking 9 inch and 44 I already have a 9 inch in my old truck, I'll have to find a front axle, but we have cluttered this thread more than enough.

Crate 9" with some monster 40 spline axles would be a beast... if not a bit overkill.

dukie564

a bit? lol

There's a good deal on some 40" MTRs on the local board if you want some tires to run on that set-up.

I installed a 3 inch lift on my 99 a few months ago, but was never able to fully tighten the driver's side, upper shock bolt in the front, because of other things in the engine bay being in the way. It worked, but I think it has loosened, it clunks when i hit a bump at speed now, how should I tighten it?

box wrench....the ratcheting ones work **** for this

bhennessee1

Yea, like dukie said, and if you remove the air box, it's a piece of cake.

McCaffrey

Ratcheting combo wrench works marginally if you don't have huge forearms.

Are new LCAs needed on 3" lifts? Particularly a Zone lift.

Lowrange2

Not necessary.

How about an adjustable track bar at 3"?

Tom95YJ

If you have a stock trackbar with relocation bracket it's not needed but recommended

theyammieguy

I would. The PO of my XJ installed a RC 3" and left the stock track bar in place. My axle is shifted to the drivers side by about an inch.
