Not sure. New to jeeps. Don’t you just love guys like us. Lol. Is this a lift? I have nothing to compare.
Lol, I don’t mind. It was all of us at some point.
Yes, that looks to be a day star 1” body mount lift. That doesn’t affect suspension but explains why your Jeep is so tall above the tires. I had about an inch of clearance on 31’s bone stock. Your 1” Body plus 0.5” shackle gets you closer. Maybe you do have a spring lift but I still don’t see how, your springs looked just like mine did.
Also I never had stock fender flares so it’s not really an accurate comparison at the fender anyways.
Based on your pic of the shock you should be perfectly fine. I would not want them to be any longer.
Taking into account the bushings that puts me at 3 1/2 inches travel of up (wheel droop) and over five going (compressing) down if I needed it
Excellent! I have no confirmation of it but I have a feeling my stock YJ would have rode great had I only changed the shocks and ditched the rear track bar. If I bought this thing over again I probably would have only done that, body lift, and ran 31’s.
I just noticed the decal is upside down . All the others are correct though. LOL
Ok, drive it today. What a difference. The old shocks were certainly shot. No rebound. Much more fun to drive now.
Great to hear. My factory shocks were shot when I bought the Jeep, which is no shock (pun absolutely intended) at nearly 20 years old at the time. I seriously wonder what it would have rode like had I only changed the shocks. Wish I could go back in time. It rode really rough in stock form but dead 20 year old shocks will do that.
For sure. Thanks again for the “Skoolin” on the lift / shocks. Much appreciated.
