An XJ is a quite capable truck .. with 2 inches of lift and 31's your with in the legal requirements of most states and shouldn't ever have any legal issues.

Re: left hand side pumpkin?

Pretty certain 100% of the TJ wranglers landed in australia with Dana 30's in the front.

The JK's also have the Dana 30 with the JK Rubicon getting the D44 front.

Jeep XJ's also run a D30 front from memory.

Some of the F trucks floating around also run a D44 front as it's a popular swap for jeeps ...

Getting to 33's is a pretty easy task ... 2 inch springs & shocks / 2 inch body and your sorted .. so like 1000 or there abouts.

Once you start talking 35's .. not only do ratios become a must have rather then a nicety on 33's you start needing larger springs which then involves modifying the ...

I think daily driving a TJ with 35's will be a hard sell .. pending how far you drive and the state your in.

I bought my TJ new in 2000 so have no idea about costing's today.

I'd go for a 2000/1/2 model as they had better exhaust manifolds and few other neat mods ... though if the truck's ten year ...

Re: no drive to front wheels

Certainly sounds like a diff / axle issue .. I'd start by pulling the diff cover .. should give you some insight into whats going on .. if all looks good there .. it could be a snapped axle.

A busted CV / Uni would be pretty easy to see .. well they are on my TJ.

Disconnecting the sway bar offroad will add to your flex, be it your front and or your back.

Re: 3 inch lift and 33 tyres

To be clear I run a TJ ... not a JK .. but I've tinkered on wheeled with quite a few JKs.

Generally a larger tyre size does impact your performance, fuel economy and handling (including braking).

Your results are going to be dictated by whether or not you've a auto or a manual and whether it's a ...

Re: 3 inch lift and 33 tyres

15 inch rims wont fit on a JK... break assemblies too big.

JK's run 35's pretty easily so I'm guessing 3 inches and 33's should be a breeze.

Tyre width is a matter of what you can get under your guards .. 12 inch shouldn't be impossible.

Re: tj jk rim prices

That new cost seems about right. We kinda get screwed due to our odd bolt pattern.

Second hand is going to vary... you could have a look at the classifieds on ausjeepoffroad.com and see what recent sales of rims have been like. Though your likely only to see JK's with the 16 inch rims.

If you run a 10 inch wide 33 inch tyre you can get away with 7 inch wide rims.

First up .. Sunny Coast has a pretty good jeep club .. look em up .. good bunch of guys.

Tyres ... generally .. normal street tyres or AT (All Terrain) tyres are good on the sand .. much more agressive and your likely to be digging holes.

Pretty sure lift laws are now national... so any more then ...
