The following is a copy of one of my posts in another thread...


Do not waste your money on a short arm lift. There's also no need for a 4" lift for 32's or even 33's. Invest your money in Iceland Offroad fender flares. (You could just cleanly cut the fenders but the flares look really good and add coverage to the tires.) Then buy a 2" spacer lift to run up to 33's. I wouldn't even buy shocks unless they're worn out. Stock track bars will work fine. Stock brake lines will work fine. Stock steering will work fine but get an alignment after you install the spacers. Stock driveshafts will work fine.

The larger fender openings will let you stuff the tire farther into the opening and still be able to steer. Your rig will perform much better than a 4" lifted, heavily bumpstopped ZJ with stock fender openings.

Have a blast with it, get some wheelin' experience under your belt. When you're ready to go bigger, upgrade to heavier duty axles and a long arm lift. 4" for 35's and 6" for 37's. The only money wasted will be the $50 or so for the spacers. There's nothing more ridiculous than a circus-wagon of a ZJ on stilts. 4", 5", or even 6" for 31's or even 33's?.... That's just plain silly....


So there you have it in a nutshell... Oh and if you're sticking with 31's, leave it at stock height and cut the fenders (with or without the use of the fender flares). You'll have more suspension travel than a 3" lift with 31's.

Dank... You have to pay more attention to the posts, buddy...

"Invest your money in Iceland Offroad fender flares. (You could just cleanly cut the fenders but the flares look really good and add coverage to the tires.) "


The flares aren't necessary, but it is hard to cut as high as the front flares allow and still make it look good. I believe suspensions should be as low as functionally possible with as big a tire as possible. That's just my opinion amongst a forum full of opinions.
I have no affiliation with the company... Just a satisfied customer.

By the way... Aren't YOU going for low lift/big tires? How do you that?... Cut metal.

No beef at all man... I have to admit that I just got back to reading the rest of your post. I'm guilty! Lol. Wasn't trying to sound offended or anything over my opinion. Just making it known that it should only be taken as my opinion... It wasn't a sales pitch! Lol.
