Man that sucks.

I'm planning on piecing mine together over a period of time.
RE 4.5 coils
RE 3.5 leaf packs
1" shackles or shackle relocation brackets
SYE if needed
Billstein shocks
RK adjustable control arms
IRO double shear trac bar
and what ever else I'll need.

Looks good. I'm gathering parts for my Comanche, but I have too many projects going on to do any of them quickly. I currently have IRO lower control arms to replace my stockers, fresh coil springs, and a Riddler diff cover and IRO truss for the D44 that I'm building (with much help from 96xjclassic).

I still need some Hell Creek Metric Tonne leaf springs to refresh the rear, rear shocks, wheels, tires, and lots of metal work on the body and for armor.

I won't be doing any hard wheeling, but I want to use good parts. Not the best, but not Rusty's or RC. I have a D35 and don't plan on changing it unless I find a D44 in a JY.

Are these good to use, or are there better ones?

LII seems to be preferred around these parts:

No personal experience with either.

That's the one I was looking for. I thought I had them bookmarked but I didn't. Thanks.

No problem

Hi,
I'm going to install the Bushwacker flat fender,s front and rear, I have a 3" RC lift, will I be able to fit 33x12.50 tires? Does anyone run this combination or have have any pics?
Thanks.....

theyammieguy

I'll have the same combo in about 2 weeks, but I'll be running 33x10.5's. You'll rub without trimming.

JacksXJ

I'll rub because I'm going wider?

theyammieguy

and taller.

Someone else will have to chime in, but I'm not sure if you can run 12.5's on the stock rim with the 5.25" backspacing.

JacksXJ

I would get new wheels with the proper back spacing - about 4.00 - 3.75

NewKindOfClown

Stock is 5.25" BS. With aftermarket wheels, 15x8 would be best, with 3.5-4" BS, you should be fine. Tires may rub your Lower Control Arms, but you could adjust steering stops or replace your factory LCAs with tube ones.

As for vertical clearance to the fender flares, I think that would work, but I'm not sure. If it fits, you would still need to extend your bumpstops to prevent the tire from rubbing. There are many threads if you Google 'xj cherokee extended bumpstops'.

theyammieguy

Right on. I actually prefer the look of the skinnier 10.5". I'm getting BFG KM2's 33x10.5x15 in 2-3 weeks. I'm going to trim my fenders this weekend.

Thanks guys - I'll d search as you suggested......

Thanks, I was thinking 5". Now I know.
