1982 CJ7: 151cu iron duke/ sr-4 trans/ dana 300/ dana 30 front amc 20 rear 3.73 gears.
ok so my 82 CJ7 currently has extended shackles and 33's on it. the shackles are going away because i don't like the look, i hear they're not the safest/greatest thing to have, etc. i bought stock size shackles and new bushings. my idea is that i want to run 35-37" tires. i was thinking about getting the hi fender armor from gen right or from t&t customs and a 1-2" body lift, daystar has a 1" kit that replaces everything for the mounts for under $100. was also thinking about doing a SOA kit but i fear if i do all 3 of these things im going to be HUGE! whats everyones thoughts? i kinda wanna keep a LCG.
 
I'm not sure how much their kits open up the wheelwells but it would take a lot of cutting to fit 35's with only a 2" body lift.
A SOA will net at least a 5" lift and cost big bucks to do right.
 
You don't want to do more than a 1" body lift. With that big of a tire you will need a 4" lift.

yeah i don't like body lifts so didn't wanna go more than a 1", but im missing body mount bushings so i figure if i replace them i might as well get alitle something something out of it.
 
from what they say it sounds like it might work. I say go for it and let us know how it works out.
