Title: Free 32's
Post by: jeepnfahey on March 12, 2007, 07:06:00 PM: Hey Guys I just thought I should tell you guys what happened today. I was in my college history class today and I over heard a fellow Jeep talking about his rig. I got talking with him and hes been trying to get rid of 4 32 inch Mud Kings. I asked if I could have them and he said I could coma and pick them up on wed the 14th. Hes giving me free tires! He said that there are about half worn. I don't care I have been looking at tires for awhile. I am pumped. I know there not the greatest tires out there, but hey man the are FREE! U cant beet free. Now i am going to buy some kind of lift to fit them on my rig. I am thinking 1 inch body and a 2 inch shackle to get a solid 2 inch budget lift.
Tell me what you think.

Also if you do any wheeling you will hate the 2" shackles even after you correct the pinion and castor problems. They will hang up on rocks, stumps, and anything else on the trail. Im not telling you this because I read it somewhere, I have 2" lift shackles on my YJ right now and I hate it so I ordered the 1" shackles and a 1" body lift to get rid of them.

I say 1" body lift and some TJ flares would be a better idea. I just installed TJ flares on my 95 and its the best mod I have done to my Jeep so far.

What about a 2inch body lift? Does any one have pic's' of shackle and body combinations? I have been loking around and can not find any. If u have some please show me. Thanx

I'd probably go with 1" body (JKS sells a 1.25"), 3/4" shackle lift and some TJ flares with liberal cutting. That's the cheapest way to go about it without messing up anything like steering geometry.

Post by: jeepnfahey on March 21, 2007, 06:27:50 PM: I will post some pics when I start the install. I am kind of pissed at the guy i bought the shackles from. He can not send them out on till Monday the 26th. The good thing is the shackles are guaranteed for life and they are powder coated and come with grade 8 hardware. The guy builds them him self . I just cant wait for them to get here. Oh I am also going to put on the soft top this weekend. Its going to be in the 50's!
