Need some pics of 2.5 lift please.

[aceves6]

Hello folks, could you please post some pics of your 2.5 lift (sping) with 32's or 33's and what lift you have. Also the size rim you are running.

I have narrowed my list down to 2.5 lift but toying with 32 or 33. I would like to use a 15x10 rims.

Thank you.

IO- love the hardtop/door setup :drool: I need that setup for jungle excursions.

I would say the chances of you finding a top like that on your island are slightly worse than winning the Texas state lottery.
It is kind of cool, and very heavy.

What size rims are those? 10 or 8.5?

 

[Buuushman]

I believe 10" but not sure, I'll check and let you know. They were on it when I got it and I never looked.

Thanks for the thread and the replies. This is exactly want I want to do with mine.

33s are doable and 33s are safe and the drive train will handle them with no real problem. I will say to whoever will listen I enjoy driving my CJ more with the smaller tires. It handles better and is more stable in the turns etc. I think my rims are 10", stock is 8 is it not?? I do remember they are 2" wider than stock and most of the 2" is offset. The offset is the most important thing about them.
IMHO!!!

Thank you everyone for your info. I have cut it down to 32x11.50- BFG Mud's. I'm leaning towards the 15x10 setup, looks cool and gives it a nice stance. I'm now on the fence with Superlift or BDS. I've read the Skyjacker is too soft.

Now...does anyone know of a site that has combo deals on Wheels and tires? Thank you again.

I have just installed the Pro-comp 2.5 lift on My 82 CJ7 . I also just put on 33x12.50x15 BFG KM2 Mud Terrains I put them on 15x8 Mickey Thompson Classic Locks. It is a little stiff but it was easy to install. Good Luck!!!!

Are you running wide or narrow track axles?

 

[Renegade]

I believe they are the Wide Track. My Jeep is an 82 and they were used from 82-86. I did craw under the Jeep but I could not locate the correct codes. But I am pretty sure it has the wide track. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

WOW What a difference lift, tires and some rims have made.
I've just received my 2.5" springs in the mail yesterday so I can only hope my old girl will scrub up as nice.
I'd love to see more photos - Post lift.

Here are a few more!!! Best of luck with the new lift!!! It will make it look like a new Jeep. My next step is to get this thing back to its original color "Black" I can't wait!!!

Great thread. Thanks guys. I believe the 2.5 is what I want. Am I correct in assuming you only needed longer shocks...no new pitman arm, shims, brake lines, etc. How does it drive and handle compared with before?

I got a great deal on mine it was a Pro-Comp Lift and I got it around Christmas and they offered a $250 Rebate almost half price and with Free Shipping. You may want to wait until the Holiday weekend next week and see what specials they got going. The kit I got had the shocks included. I can't really say how much different it drove because I had a bad upper ball joint and a steering box that had 200,000 miles on it. The thing was all over the road. I am getting the upper ball joint done now, I replaced the steering box last weekend and it was much better. The only thing I noticed is it has a much stiffer ride, my wife thought so also. I don't really mind it is just a weekend toy and something to play around with. Currently I am still using the stock pitman arm. I hope to get it back tomorrow, after the front end alignment and ball joints are replaced. I would definitely check to see if they have any rebates or free shipping, it helps a lot!!!! Best of luck and post pics!!!!
