Bounty Hunter to the rescue again!
Dude you're awesome, thanks for the info.
You not a big fan of scrapyard lifts? They just dont sit level with two different types of coils, or it just seems sketchy?
And it seems like you'd expect an impressively tall lift from this (3.5" - 4")
Is that really what I'd be seeing? I started out looking for 2" - 2.5" and kindda accepted this as close enough. I didn't really want to push 3" originally, ....
Got a 97 TJ so i'll assume I can do the adjustable control arm thing for a little while. Never heard anyone fiddling with that, though. No one mentioned any need for that. Guess it makes sense, since you're angling the top of your axle permanently forward like that. It can go as far as I'll need? or just make do with as far as it can?
When redrilling the trackbar: Put everything in, have the rear relocated via the new bracket, set the jeep down and have a ratchet strap anchored to the frame to inch the axle over toward centre. Measure it, make sure its perfect centre, then mark and drill? Or is there a better way?
All the rest seems fine, sounds workable. But I'm still wondering, there seems to be a bunch of people wth solid success on zj/crown vic springs (or the front tj's in the back
) I'm not decided yet on which way I'll do it...
...but still wondering, how much lift could I really expect from this method?
Does anyone actually have something like this running that they can give me a pretty solid answer on?
and does anyone have a simple/cheap way of doing a 2"-2.5" suspension lift as an alternate option to this?
I'm pretty excited about this scrapyard lift if it's only 3" or so I'm looking at. But hey, look at all the options, right?
It'd have to be awesome and easy to sway me from this coil lift idea...but I'd like to hear tham, and maybe some pics on 31" - 33" tires would give me a look to the future.
I know this kindda thing has been covered numerous amounts of time, but I havent found much info thats not convoluted and lost in the mix of all the various types of jeeps, weights, engines, add-ons.
So that's why I'm pinpointing it to 4cyl early tj's with little weight add-ons, to get some solid numbers, if anyones got them.
thanks all
