Another vote for the 2" BB. At 80k I doubt your springs are really that worn. If they are, keep an eye out at the yard for a ZJ with the UpCountry package to net another .75-1" of lift. K2ZJ and I have both taken budget boosted ZJ's to places that surprised us both, and if you trim you can...

I go either 75 or 85 - 140 on my ZJ when I pull my M416, has served me well so far.

Plenty of people in JK's want people to think they're in a G Wagon though. The number of otherwise stock JK's on >20" wheels I see in Highlands Ranch is ridiculous.

2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class/Curb weight 5,724 lbs 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara/Curb weight 4,397 lbs Seems to me the guy was right???

I've had my ZJ since 2000, longer than I've known my wife and most of my friends. Many other vehicles have come and gone since then, but it'll take a massively catastrophic failure to my ZJ for me to ever get rid of it.

I like the combo of 4.56's and 35's.

For a second I thought you were suggesting a BMW X5!

Nothing wrong with IRO either, I just got my long arms before they even really existed. I know Darrick from IRO personally and he's a great guy, and if his products can stand up to how he wheels, I have no doubt that they will do just fine for you! Also, if you're up for a bit of a drive...

Also, one thing to note, if you do swap in an 8.8, but the time you weld on new brackets to the axle, you've done a good portion of the work in swapping to a triangulated long arm system. Clayton's replaces the upper control arm and trackbar mounts with a truss that the new triangulated uppers...

Rubbing on the inside of the passenger fender makes sense. As the suspension compresses, the axle will move laterally towards the driver side due to the geometry of the trackbar. This is where an adjustable trackbar can really help you dial in the axles location. With Clayton's long arm the...

TJ Canyons were 15x8 too I believe. Never heard the ultra stars called anniversary wheels either, guess it was Jeep's 57th??? Lol Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

You say you're rubbing the pass side rear, but where? Outside or inside? And every ZJ I've owned has had 5.25" backspacing on the factory wheels, none of them had 4.5". Normally I'd agree on measuring from the offset like you mentioned as well, but 95% of the Jeep tech forums use backspacing...

Definitely get an adjustable trackbar as that seems to be your problem more than the backspacing. Also, 5.5" is a lot for short arms and puts a lot of stress on the unibody side upper control arm mounts and they will eventually begin to tear away from the unibody. If you want to stay that...

I'd include the XJ as well as V8 ZJs and use some of your leftover funds for repairs and upgrades.

Love those old XJ's. My dad bought a 90 XJ new and that started me down the path.

Factory backspacing on ZJ wheels is 5.25", so you're closer to 3.75" backspacing. I run 4" backspacing 15x8 steelies on my ZJ with 35x12.50's on 4.5" springs, HP30 front, 8.8 rear with spacers on the rear wheels. I can't remember the exact measurement of the spacers, but they're between...

Love seeing someone do this with a WK2! We had one for a little while but ultimately traded it for a JKU, we were definitely pushing the limits of what a stock WK2 can handle. There's a few other guys with WK2's that go out to Moab with us for Grand Slam West as well, you should check it out...

So much this . . . . . We put about 21k on a '14 WK2, pretty based out, but did have 4-Lo, tow hooks, and the mode selector thing. We wheeled it more than anyone should wheel a stock WK2 that doesn't have the QuadraLift. The quick removal of the front bumper on everything but the Summit...

Got mine on Craigslist 6-7 years ago before they became uber-popular. Now searching on SearchTempest it's hard to find any under $1,000 and within 1,000 miles of me. I've been trying to find another one to build for my dad as a hunting trailer and just can't bring myself to pay what people are...

Yeah, typo, one JKU that will eventually replace the ZJ. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
