5.5 inches of lift with stock style control arms would not be a good idea. You can run a 3.5 inch lift and 33s if you don't mind some fender trimming

I will not be trimming my fenders. I don't want to do that...Lol. But w/ that benchmark kit, do I need to trim to run 33? 32?


Sorry to hijack!

What parts did you end up going with? My 98 5.2 is crapped out but I refuse to part with it for $250 the salvage guys want to give me. Just biding my time, gimme some inspiration.

Thanks for the replys.

It has a 5.5 in lift from IRO. Hanson front bumper, Rock Hard rear bumper, rockers, and roll cage. For the winch I went with a Smittybuilt 9.5 with synthetic line.

Tires are 33" General AT2s mounted on 10" rims. I just ran power for the two light bars, 50 incher on top mounted to a old confer rack I probably bought 20 years ago. I also have a smaller one (9"?) mounted on the hoop. I also replaced the fog lights with two single LED pods.

Changed the 249 for a 231 with a SYE, and a 2wd low kit I got from Terra Flex. I have also swapped in a new transmission.

Actually taking it out for a week of wheeling...maiden voyage...offroad that is.
