3.5 lift and 32's ??

1996zj · Aug 24, 2006

I have a Tuff Country 3.5" lift on a 96 ZJ. I am running 31" pro comp ATs. I want to run 32x11.5. I am thinking about 0.75 or 1" spacers and ajustable upper control arms. I was also going with a 1" t case drop. I donot want to trim much fender at this point. Do you guys think this would fit 32's ok? I also read on a board that some ppl have shifting trouble with tcase drops?

for wheels 15x8 and 4.25 to 4.5 bs....is the bs corect? (thx for replys)

if you have a true 3.5", just add the spacers, no control arms...they arent needed, and 1" tcase drop will be fine... i run 3.75" bs on my rims....

You have 3.5 lift and can't get 32's in there as it is, with some
bumper trimming [smilie=bal_ask.gif]
I just got a 3inch lift in and tons of room for 32's.
Backspacing should be around 3.75.

I haven't tryed 32's on it yet waiting for my 31's to wear out first.I have stock upper control arms and tuff country fixed for the bottem. So you guys think i donot need longer uppers? I want alittle room to flex as well. Thx again.

with my Tcase drop, i had to adjust the linkage on my shifter. wasnt hard. crawl under the ZJ, loosen the one bolt, go up top, push the tcase lever all the way down, go back under and tighten it back up. My only issue with it not adjusted was that i couldnt go fully into 4lo. and had to put it in the N spot for 4hi... I have fixed upper and lower arms from Rustys (but you know that already from the ZJ thread on JP mag). If ya can afford it, go adjustable to help with the pinion angle some. i sure wish i would have done that...

I've got 32s on a 3.5" RE lift. All stock arms. I have 8 adjustables, but have just been too lazy to put them on. The only issues are when I turn all the way to the right, it rubs a little on the passenger side. That and the tires are a little close to the front on the rear fenders. These issues are very minor though, and don't stop me from driving it daily.

I have 3.5 XJ front springs. Original I6 front springs to the rear.
I do have lower adjustable arms but there set at just over stock.
Today I put new 32's on. Slight rub on full lock.
Otherwise, it is just soo cool. Custom front bumper, no rear bumper, yet.
No transfer case drop, rides like a Cadillac.
Write up and pics are coming soon.
