What should the price range be to lift a 2005 Jeep Wrangler?

Posted on January 29, 2012 by

My husband really wants to lift our Jeep. What do you think about a 1 inch body lift and a 3 inch suspension lift? We go offroading a lot and want to put larger tires on the Jeep. In Southern California, how much should that run. What size tires should we go with? This is an everyday driver as well, so we don’t want anything ridiculous. Thanks!

Help on lifting my Wrangler?

Posted on January 25, 2012 by

Ok, so I own a 2006 Wrangler X model. Just about everything is stock, tire and clearance wise. Someday I would love to have 33″ tires, and somewhere in the ball-park of a 1-2″ lift. Now, I dont know a THING about any of this stuff, so I would appriciate some advice on what to do. I drive about 90% street/highway, and the other 10% would fall into the occasional snow storm, or minor easy trails. I dont plan on beating up my Jeep much, because I want it to last me as long as it can. But I do want it to be tough. With this being said, what would be my best option lift wise? Body or suspension? What kind? Company? What kind of tires would suite me best? Would spacers be necessary?

I know suspension lifts are more expensive, but if getting one would be the best option in the long run then so be it.

I know its my choice on what I want to do, but im only asking for advice to steer me in the right direction.

And please dont abbrieviate anything, because I wont know what you’re talking about.

Thank you so much for your help!

-Bobby
With any of these things added (33″ tires, 1-2″ lift) will there be any additional costs that will need to be made in the future?

Jeep 4″ lift and 33×12.5r15 tires…?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by

I found a place that can give me a 4″ lift, 5 tires, rims, and a spare tire mount for my jeep wrangler. I can get it for $2400.00. Now I know I’m gonna need a tune up and new brakes, but now much will the brakes and recalibrating the spedomoter be?

Tire Size/Chain size for driving through the snow….?

Posted on January 21, 2012 by

So I’m going to be driving to Oregon this weekend and need to get chains just to be on the safe side. I drive a Jeep Wrangler ’03 and the tire size is 30×9.50 R15LT. That’s what it says on the tire. The sizes on the chain boxes at the stores are different and I’ve been told different sizes- is there a difference?

Good ring and pinion gears for a TJ with Dana 35 and 33″ tires?

Posted on January 21, 2012 by

It’s currently got the factory 3.73 gears in the differentials but after a routine check the other day it was discovered that the popping noise I hear during acceleration was not the u-joints but it is the rear ring and pinion gears wearing out. I currently have a 4″ pro comp lift on my TJ and it’s got 33×10.5 KM2′s. The tires only have 6,500 miles on them but I already know that when they are worn down I am going to go up to 35×12.5 tires, probably KM2′s again. I put a lot of miles on my Jeep so the new tires aren’t many years away, probably about a year and a half. I’ve only had the Wrangler for 21 months and I’ve run it up from 77,000 miles to 116,000 miles after all.

Anyways back on track. I was thinking that because I am going to go up to 35′s in the not-so-distant future, I should probably go ahead and put the gears in that will work best with those instead of the best for the 33″ tires. Yes I know my gas mileage will be worse but it will have more power too for the time being. Would 4.56 be a good choice? It is my daily driver so I don’t want to go crazy with the low end power but lose top end speed, a lot of my driving is on the highway. That is a bit of a problem I am experiencing right now is that I get 11 mpg with the 3.73 gears because on the highway I have to down shift to 4th just to maintain a speed above 65 going up any kind of hill or into any breeze. It has the 4.0L engine too.
