lift purchase

[azman]

Hello all. I am new to this whole forum posting thing so bear with me. I have an '03 KJ sport and I am looking to get the max clearance possible. I know that I cant do more than a 2.5" lift because of binding issues, but I am having trouble finding the best lift that wont rattle and cost me my firstborn. I live in AZ so most of the trails have some rocks for crawling and I admit, I do enjoy that part. cant see the best stuff without a little adventure... What is the best 2.5" lift at the best cost, and whats the max tire size i can fit, not much in the way of warranty on this beastie so i am not afraid of a little modification. any help would or advice would be greatly appreciated.

BTW: My website will have some pics of my jeep out and about in AZ if your interested.

Max tyre size on 2.5" lift is 31" (usually 245/75 r16's) without major trimming. Some guys are running 32" tyres, but I believe the front plastic is modified.

As for cost etc....... sorry mate I'm English. The American guys rave on about Rusty's coil lift for a good value spring/shock replacement kit.

well, thank you for the help. as for bigger tires, like i said, I am not afraid to do a little modification to my plastic fender wells to fit something bigger.
All the guys over here rave about the Rusty kit huh? I definately like the price much better than some of the others that I have looked at.
Does anyone know about ball joint rubbing on the spring and such with that kit, cause i do like to do a little more crawling over rocks than most and i really dont wanna screw myself with that. like I said, its almost a necessity out here to see the good sites.

oh yeah, I have some pics from my last outing on my web page, anyone can check it out, still in the development stages for now so bear with me.

The Rusty's spring lift will not cause ball joint contact. It uses OME sturts with the stock plate which is not long enough to cause ball joint contact.
