small lift big tires

[moody]

Looking for ideas.....preferably 4" SOA or less with 37's or up. Let's see what you've got!

[trcooperone]

I assume you mean SOA with 4" anyway, I have SOA with 3"lift springs up front and chevy 63" springs with 3/4 ton axles an 38" tires

Nice....it looks pretty level. Are the 63's just factory springs without overloads or blocks? That looks about what about what I'd like to do with a little less trimming in the back:)

[trcooperone]

They are the 3 leaf with the overload chevy springs in the rear, no block. I would have liked to do less trimming but I had some cancer I needed to get rid of. O well, now there is room for 44's!

As far as being level it is about 2" taller in the rear but thats ok considering how long the hood is.

Cool.....keep em' coming! Desert Beast, you got a side shot of that truck? What's the tire width, backspacing on those rims and tires?

Jeeper, your rig is awesome! Did you use a different spring up front? Looks like the you had to move the axle forward slighty. Is that Dana 44 still holding up with those tires?

This rig officially wins the awesome competition.

Spec and more pics please! I am totally loving how the middle of the cage dips down a bit... Looks awesome. How did you do the rear suspension (looks like coils :confused: ) and how does it do offroad?

[orangecherokee]

the only thing that truck would ever win is the biggest PITA award. just yesterday I was pulling trees out of the ground for a garden I'm going to plant and the winch kept shorting out. I guess that's not the Jeep's fault but whatever.

The rear is linked with coils and the front is still leaves. It goes pretty good offroad. I typically try and hit the "extreme" trails. It's wide, so it's stable and it can finally crawl thanks to the doubler.

Short list:
D60 front, 35 spline, 4.56 & a detroit
14FF rear, 35spline, 4.56 & a detroit
Leaves front, 4-link with coils rear
SM465 tranny with a 203/205 doubler
42" Iroks with diy4x4 weld-on beadlocks
360 on propane

It looks like the baby jeep in the background ran over someone you better go help them!!!:thumbsup:

DBeast, I like the wagon! I saw one with no lift and 36's and cut out flares. He had a lot of clearance and LCG.

"He had a lot of clearance and LCG"

That's what I'm hoping to do by getting a different look at everyone's setup!

[Gearhead 1990]

I don't really know what your looking for lol so I'll post another one. At first it sounds like you want to see big tires on jeeps that are barely lifted, but everyone is posting big lifts so here goes :D

I don't really know how much lift I have but its chevy 52" springs all around. Probably 10-12" with 42s

Thanks hammer, that helps alot! Just to clarify my post, I was just looking for SOA lifts of 4" or less with bigger tires. I am aware that just a SOA itself adds 6-7 itself....I was just using the SOA as a baseline. Basically my plan is to use 56's up front and 63's in the back. I am just hoping to find a balance between lift and tire size. To everyone who has posted, thanks! It has given me a better idea of what I want to achieve!

[orangecherokee]

oh, well mine is a 4" lift but it's SOA instead of SUA.

[Hammer]

I currently have 39.5" tires with SOA on stock (read, worn out) springs.
But the 4" and 38.5" tires worked well, and kept my COG very low! I had to do some bad side hills a few times, and the chero did great (better then my wife in the passenger seat!)
