Re: tires/ lift kit

The swaybar discos are the way to go... By far, that is the least expensive and most effective off-road modification out there.

I am running W.P. disconnecters, myself. But you gotta remimber, with a BB you are running a completly factory suspension setup. All your really doing is picking the frame up 2" and changing shocks. I wasn't to impressed with his. But i will say it only took us 2.5 hours to do his, where it took about 12 to do mine.

Re: tires/ lift kit

The factory suspension geometry is actually quite capable. There are a lot of folks out there that will debate which is even more capable, the OEM (short-arm) geometry over the long-arm kits on the market. Personally, I think it comes down to what you are intending to do with the vehicle itself. Each of the set-ups have positive and negative traits.

I can agree with that, but from what I have seen the BB's don't flex as well as I want.
Did you catch the 2-peice JP artical (I think aroun Jan/Feb) where they shoved 35's on a factory height TJ.
They put more money in fabrication and modification than a decent lift would cost.
Have you relocated your track bars? If not your axles are not centered under your ride.
Superlift makes an adjustable track bar for 2" lifts

Re: tires/ lift kit

My Jeep is in good shape. I only used the BB as a temporary solution while I planned out what my plan was with this Jeep. I am going with the RE 4.5" SF accompanied with my 1" BL and run 35s. I will have everything on by the end of summer...

Re: tires/ lift kit

I have to warn you, snorkels give a false sense of confidence. Water in your intake is not really that much of a worry. Yes, breathing water isn't good, but it's easily fixed. It's your fuse box and every single exposed electrical connection under the hood and in the dash that will get you. I don't know if you've ever had to call painless wiring and order a whole new box, but it ain't fun.

Re: tires/ lift kit

Good point, and point well noted. No I never had to get a Painless Wire Harness. I did a creek crossing recently, water came up to my knee caps standing in it, to feel for sink holes, and river bed "mushiness". No problems, I guess its the speed you go thru holes. I like to bomb thru em. I cant be taking out my air filter everytime it gets water in it. Just to drive an hour back home to buy a new $10 Fram filter. I will do up a snorkel with K&N

Re: tires/ lift kit

Yeah... My next mod too. I already have an ARB snorkel sitting in a box ready to go on the Jeep.
