How much lift and what size tires do I have?

[Red's FSJ]

I know what they are!!!, I'm just curious to know what you guys think mainly because when I look at other Jeeps here it seems like mine is not the same as those which have the same size tires and lift.

Thanks! I'm thinking I should upgrade if possible.

35s on a 6"?

[Will Morris]

ditto, maybe 4" though

35's on a 6? Needs more fender trimming! :D

[Stuka]

lookslike 35's on a 6". There is NO way thats a 4", unless there is also a 3" body lift. But it doesnt look like there is a body lift as I dont see any frame hanging down. But they may be...

[SpruceMoose]

yep, gotta go with 35/6. with a 4" lift the bottom of the door is even with the top of the rims.

Looks alot like mine 35's on a 6" lift.

[Red's FSJ]

Well, to me it also looks as though I have a 6" lift with 35s, but in actuality my Wag has a 4" lift with 35s. They are Skyjacker springs...there is only about a half inch trimming on either side of the rear fender (more along the bottom) but none on the top. The tires do not rub at all. They get close but have never hit after the minor trimming. Also, there is no kind body lift nor blocks for the springs...weird, isn't it?

Well, Skyjacker is RATED at 4", but most people report an inch or two more actual lift with those springs. With the arch in the front leaf pack, the front axle looks like it's just about located where a SOA conversion would put it with the stock flat springs.

BTW, your truck looks really nice dewooded like that.

Well that explains it then! The ride is so stiff though...I bounce everywhere I go... I wonder if Rusty's 6" is as rough a ride. It really is the only thing that I don't like right now, well, and the carb too (TPI in the future), hehe. I had been wanting to take all the wood off for a while, and I am glad I did because I found a lot of rust that I couldn't see before and was soon going to turn into rot. I also like the look without the wood though... soon to be painted!!! Just can't decide on the color... Thanks for your responses!

OH, hey! I just noticed you're another New England FSJ'er! 'bout an hour and a half North of me.

With all the New Englanders coming out of the woodwork, we've got to get a Northeast FSJ meet going.

[Red's FSJ]

I hear that! Let's go!!!

Beastly......
works as a descriptor and a name for your rig....
;) smile.gif :D

a good body lift and those tires will clear a lot easier.

[jode]

Crazy...my 31s rubbed with a 4" lift and you don't rub with 35s?

I guess there's lots of other little variables though.....

[Red's FSJ]

They don't rub at all. Once I trimmed a little in the rear nothing ever hit again. In the front, there has always been plenty of clearance. To Bombadier, it definitely is beastly! If anything I will upgrade to a Rusty's 6" lift, I don't like body lifts at all.
