Thanks for the link, JK porn, I must say that I am now quite aroused...... lol


If I sell a few more quality boats, this is the way I will go. Rubicon Express 4 1/2" long arm, BFG 37 KM2's, Acos hydro bump stops, Tom Woods shafts and by then I would need to add some power mods ? supercharger ? diesel ?

Kev, what size tires are your stock Rubi's??? 17" rims right? hmmmm... They have to be better than the stock tires my FJ has.   ::)

Ok, just saw your Craigslist ad for the tires...

Im thinking that the tires I ordered are going to be to big for the rubis auto tranny. I am going to send them back probably. Any opinions. I have been on the JK forums and there are some write-ups about how the I would lose overdrive and the transmission will down on every hill. So far I have noticed it on th stock tires. The only solution is to regear to 4.88 or 5.13. Cant do that I was lucky to get the tires and the little lift. I probably take a hit on shipping them back.

What gears do you have? 4.10's?

Title: Re: JK lifts
Post by: Axle on February 14, 2009, 11:32:47 PM

So what will you go with then?  33's?  That's not a big change from the 32's you have now.  Shoot, if that's case, save some money and burn up those BFG's you have now instead of getting 33's.

That is probably what I will do, Lift it and skid it.

I am keeping the lift and tires. I talked to some guys with the same seyup and they said it was tolerable i just.may have to turn off overdrive on hills. No adverse effects off road. So looks like she will grow up.

You are going to love wheeling with an automatic Kevin. My FJ was a completely different expierence having the control you do without needing to use a clutch and gas pedal while trying to hold a brake!
