Re: Trail rig!

Hey GT...start with 2 inches and you can use 31s if you don't mind some fender trimming and bump stop lowering.
INMHO...do a 2 inch $150-200 lift...get 31s....go out on the trail.
Now....see if you have a drive shaft vibe....then go from there.

After that...if you need more clearance...more rear leaf (higher) and see if you have vibes. Some people have used a 2.5 degree shim but a Sye/DShaft is the only real solution.

That to me is the most costly issue...the SYE and driveshaft mod.

If you want to spend the money...you can go all out.

In my case...I took care of all the vibes so I can use my Jeep on the trail until I can afford a driveshaft conversion. I skid plated the whole thing for protection for less than $250 (no rock rails).

Out here in California...we have to find OHV parks where we do testing so we don't go on private property.

Aloha..best regards...
