97 ZJ Lift limits

crashzj97 · Feb 19, 2006

I was wondering if I added a 3inch suspension lift to the 2inch coil spacers i have in my 97 jgc would i have to modify my drive shafts or extend my brake lines?

You should be OK. I used to have a 3"Skyjacker lift and 2" spacers on my 98 with stock brake lines and drive shafts. It worked pretty good, but I needed more flex and swapped it out for a Rubicon Express 4.5" which was 2" taller than the Skyjacker & spacer combo. I am still running stock driveshafts, but the Rubicon came with longer brake lines.

I have a 96 unlimited with the v8 so mine might be different but it shouldn't be.

I have 3 inch lift springs and I moved my front brake lines as far as I could stretch them. At full flex with the sway bar disconnected its just barely enough. I don't have extended bump stops. Leaving your sway bar connected you MIGHT be ok but if you disconnect and flex your going pop your front ones for sure.

The back line comes down a control arm and t's at the axle so you shouldn't need to extend it. :mrgreen:

I want to add a 1 inch spacer in the front and am planning to extend my fronts when I do that.
