Lifted jeeps

[Newbomb92]

Anyone here have a lifted jeep wk or newer wrangler? I'm thinking of trading/selling my TBSS and picking one up. Looking for opinions and pros/cons. Would do a 2-3" lift and 32-33s. 400hp and awd doesn't do it for me anymore, time to get off the pavement.

I just this week put an AEV Conversions 2 inch spacer lift on my 08 Rubicon Unlimited. It uses shock extensions, so it rides and handles just the way it did before. I'm looking at going with a modest increase in tire size to a 33" tire. It lifted the Jeep nicely, without compromising stability or driveability. I wanted a slight increase in breakover angle, while getting a slight increase in ground clearance with the tires. (The tires are yet to come.)

This Jeep rides and drives beautifully, and it is pretty amazing off-road.

Couldn't find anything but old wranglers

New wranglers? Bah! The old CJ's and the TJ's are the best out there.
I'm not a BIG fan of the new JK's. But the 4-doors are starting to grow on me.

But I LOVE my lifted TJ

I have a 04 TJ with a small lift. I looked at a 2011 Rubicon Unlimited the other day. It had power windows and locks, leather seats and much more. There's just something not right with a Wrangler having power everything and especially leather seats.

Done plenty of these over the years..

Jeep Suspension Lift Kits

All were mostly easy, some alignment issues but the owner of the shop I worked with had one of the big wigs at Rough Country's cell phone... It helped..

Either way a Jeeps are cool, I still own one.. Old and unfinished but hey, it's there...

I've had them all, and the JK Rubicon is easily the most capable I've owned, right off the lot. I loved them all, though.

This thread is worthless without pics...

TJ's rock!

 

[Principal Skinr]

Those are a couple of sweet looking Jeeps!

Always willing to show off a bit:

2003 Jeep TJ w/ 2.5" OME springs and 32" BFG M/Ts. My daily driver. Next to my 1980 CJ-7. In the process of swapping in a 14-bolt/Dana60 combo in place of the Dana 44's.

Feel free to ask anything you want. Jeeps and off-road are kinda what I do. At least when I'm not working.

Here's mine

 

[efpeter]

I've got an 06 Rubicon. Havent put a lift kit on it, though. Lots of info on Jeepforum.

 

[Newbomb92]

It looks like I'm going to have to wait until spring....the tbss market its horrible right now...

So I'll be rocking this all winter...

I personally love the WK, mainly for the ride quality and styling. But a lift is not cheap on them due to the IFS. That is the main reason you rarely see a lifted WK, but lifted WJ's, with their solid front axle, are easily lifted. You'll definitely have a unique vehicle in a lifted WK. Whether or not you lift it, make sure to come out to ODZ Jeep Jam in Fort Wayne next October, we had over 1000 people there this past year!

I have got a 4" lift on my Cj with 32"x12.50R15 under it.
