My new "to me" LJ

[njjeepthing]

I'd do at least a BB and proper bump stops to keep those 33's out of your fenders. Otherwise looks great I miss my 06 LJ.

Looks good Luis. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have the Rokmen, TT, the JKS 1" body lift and MML, and I have no drive line vibrations. I also have been running 255/85s for the last 44k miles and they fit perfectly with the above combination. I will be adding a minimal (~2") lift and some stiffer springs once I start adding gear.

Thats the only concern I have ,when adding the 2 " lift to the rpkmen and bl,mml, would vibes appear?..

Looks great! Do you have any rubbing on the front control arms or frame with the 33" KM2s? I have 31" x 10.5" KM2s on my '05 LJ (love 'em), but am considering going with 33" KM2s next time around. I have a 2" budget boost on mine, though.

i dont have any rubbing at all,

and the ride is unexpectedly better than I thouht. I guess is the minimal
weight of the 33 inch tire.

I wish I manned up earlier and bought DDOGG's LJ.. but it looks like I'll be getting more a "rock crawler like" LJ.. anyway.. if I had the funds and were starting from scratch.. I'd take inspiration from one of these.

Awesome truck mate. I love my 33/10.50's and I LOVE LJ's too. I think the 33's make the ride better because they roll over things easier and don't "drop" into the divits/imperfections in the road as easily as smaller tires do. Really the bigger, the tire the smoother the overal ride is... Unless your running LTB's or boggers HAHAHAHA It looks great with the BB and snorkle as well eh. Great truck for sure.

Cheers

Have you flexed out the suspension travel to check for rubbing, or have you just street-driven it at this point? I am looking at a similar (or identical) set-up, and have had several people tell me that 33" tires will rub at flex. Can you confirm?

I love the profile, BTW!

[LUISJG]

the front tires rub at the swaybar at full turn,
I have no try it at full flex , , but i dont think they will .., you might want to add a
1.25 bl,, and i say 1.25 intead of 1 because later if you want you can add a rokmen tummy tak that requiers a 1.25 bl.

[RedRocker]

Yeah,,something like that inmind

tummy tak
old man emu 2 inch
32 inch tires

but just maybe...I like it a lot the way it is stock

That's more or less what I did plus a body lift and 33's.
I promised myself not to go nuts with mods.
