1955 Jeep Willys CJ5 (327 chevy smallblock)
Hey i plan on puting 31x10.50x15 or 32x11.50x15 tires on my 1955 CJ5 willys. I am not sure what brand of lift or size of lift i should get. Any and all input would be helpful.
 
a CJ5 is short with a short Driveshaft. So go with a 2 1/2 " lift Try
BDS.
 
Re: 1955 jeep CJ5 willys lift kit

I am debating on a procomp 2.5in, skyjacker 2.5in, and a BDS 2.5in lift kit. The procomp is $480, the skyjacker is $670, and the BDS is $760. Is it really worth the extra money to go with the BDS over the lower priced procomp or skyjacker?

BDS claims American Made springs and shocks
Quality metals
I have a BDS lift on my 70 CJ6 and love it.
 
Is skyjacker no longer made in the USA?
I have had mine for a long time and the only comparison I have is Rancho.
I hated the rancho and love the skyjacker.

I cannot say where the SkyJacker is made, call them
 
Skyjacker, but it was on there when I got it
I like the ride of it a lot but it is funny how it is put on
2.5 springs in front with stock shackles
and Skyjacker stock springs in the back with 2.5 lift shackles, I plan on changing the rear springs next summer. I just have other issues till then

Sometime the difference in prices are driven by the completness of the kit. Before commiting, find out what each kit actually includes. May be able to work a package deal with the company... If you haven't already done so, plan on putting new bushings in the frame at the time of the kit install.
 
on the 54 I fit 33s under it stock height 2 1/2 inch lift allowed 35s

Huge difference in fender clearance in a 5b to a 5
