4 inch lift ?

[TheBillygoat]

I have found a 4 inch lift on Rusty's but it is for a 76 yr cj I have a 1967 Cj, but I have already done a power steering coverson. What I am wondering are the springs the same, or is one longer then the other?

wider, have to chnage the spring mounts, axle pads, etc. easier to get correct springs

rusty's lifts are great (i have one) but i don't think they go back that far, and like baja said it will be easier to find the correct lift

Rusty's doesn't have a 4inch lift for my jeep but they do have a 3inch. Now I am wondering if this would be enough for my 33's???

I say yes.
I would be more worried about dragging the springs than fender clearance.

huh? dragging the springs

When you make a turn and run out of room between the tire and spring.
wider wheels may improve this.

Thanks for the two cents, I already have put the 33's on my jeep just needing some lift for articulation. So I am hoping it will be enough...

Yes and you better soak it for about a week before you do it trust me i just lifted a 87xj in december and it was rust free but i still soaked it for couple of weeks and worked great
