Paragon pics from this weekend
I have a 1983 jeep cj7 i just purchased and want to lift it. This is what i am considering. The SOA with the revolving shackles either revolver or teraflex i havent decided on that. but i will be running 33x14.50x 15 boggers with 15x12 mt classic 2's. What shocks should i use, bilstein rancho, pro-comp this will be a road vehicle but off road will manily cosist of rocks and mud. Mostly rocks though. I am looking into running a dual shock conversion all the way around. because i have no power steering a dual steering stabilizer. What length shocks will I need to get teh full use out of my revolving shackles. I know i ll also need a drop pitman arm, longer stainless brake lines, transfer case lowering kit and shims for the front and rear axels. What else will i need to shop for i have access to a welder and all kinds of fab supplies. I personally am learning to weld but suck at it my beads look like some kind of meesed up caulk line but my friend the one who has all the equipment is a awesome welder so he will be doing the soa if i decide to go that route.
I will also have sway disconnects.
What else should i look for or will i need. Please help me i am a first time jeep owner.
Also it is a 5-speed inline 6 4.0 or 4.2 i believe.
please give me hand.
Thanks
chris
