Another Jeep Newbie - Little Help

Post by Jeeperz »

Hi Guys,

I have recently purchased a new Wrangler Sport and wanting to work it up a bit (wanting to run 35's)

Any pointers on where to start building - lift, suspension, gears ect (hopefully not too much damage to the bank)?

Cheers,

Alex

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 transfer case to deal with greater drive line angles (SYE).

Also if your running 35's new adjustable control arms can be helpful to adjust pinion angle as well as new sway bar links to keep the ol girl level.

Locally we've some pretty good suppliers of jeep kit and also with the american dollar being as nice as it is some stuff can be cheaper to nab direct from the states.

JK's dont have Slip Yokes to emiminate......... might be a worthwhile exercise to seek info elsewhere.

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

Too long I've driven a TJ ... should of twigged he said NEW Wrangler ..

35's on a JK are like running 33's on a TJ .. easy work.
