Suggestions for a "2nd" Vehicle?

Hi, I have an '88 jeep YJ with 1 1/4" shackels and 3" body lift , and want to now if I can fit 33" tyres into it.... Thanks four your help......

should be able too....i was able to put 32 on my jeep with just the 3 inch body lift and no shackles.

ok, thanks, by the way how much did you spend on the regearing??? couse im really interested on doing it to my jeep.....

i spend about 400 bucks on a set of axles out of a 4 banger.lol they got the good gear ratio. however, they are still waek axles and i dont recomend them for anything over a 33 tire.

3" of body lift is getting a little extreme for a jeep.... but if you've had it for a while, and are happy with it... couldn't do too much damage to keep it... if i were in that situation, I would take that body lift down an inch and go with 32s.. or do an aal lift

well i have had it for about 5 months and it's worked fine, isntalled it miself, that gives me a little more confidence (hope not to much) that it is tuff in wonking condition, but in the future I plan to go another 3" but this time with a suspention lift.... just dont have the $$$$ right now....

Sow if I get 4 cyl YJ axels its just a bolt on???

 

[geronimo_e]

how about 4cyl XJ axels??? would that work... thanks your helping a lot!!!

 

[Snitty]

4cyl wrangler axles would bolt right on... the xj would be a different story... MAYBE a rear leaf one would work, but not the front

ok, well thanks a lot, all I have to do is find a junked up 4cyl jeep , , Se you on the off-road.........

if you DO get the 33's (which i would highly recommend) you are going to want to re-gear to probably a 4.56 ratio. Otherwise you will always be at a loss of power.

RE-GEAR it to 4.88's you will love them.........I did on my 88 YJ
