wrangler lifting

Post by TobIa$ »

just wondering if anyone knows how much it will cost to lift a wrangler 4 inch suspension. And some one said you will need new diffs for bigger tyres is this true.

there is a fair bit involved in lifting the suspension 4" correctly.

Slip Yoke Eliminator
Rear Drive Shaft

Springs
Shocks
Arms Lower
Arms Adjustable upper
Panhards Front and Rear
Brake Line Front and Rear
Rear Shock Relocation brackets
Extented/Removable Swaybar links Front and Rear.


get onto www.ausjeepoffroad.com this site is aust jeeps, do a search these guys have heaps of knowledge.

If you want to get 33inch tyres under your jeep, do a 1" Body lift a 2" suspension lift this is a cheaper alternative.

With a 4 inch lift you want also.....

Slip Yoke Eliminator....even if the kit comes with adjustable uppers and lowers.

New diff ratios....4.1 or 4.56...or 4.88 and you need new diff centers to bolt the ratios to, so you may as well get lockers at the same time front and rear.....ARB's or Detroits.

6 or 7 inch wide flares to cover the wider tyres.

8 inch wide rims to fit the wider tyres.

New speed sensor for the tranny so you know what speed your going on you new tyres.

New tyres.

Then you may as well get the ungraded tie rod, adjustable front and rear panard rods, tyre carrier cause the 33 / 35 on the rear tailgate will destroy it.

yep, its a fair bit of coil.

Yep I agree. I just did a 2" body lift on a 98 that already had a 2.5" suspension lift. The guy now has plenty of room for 33x12.5 tires easy.
