Rusty's budget 2"

[The IVIinority]

Ok thanks. So the best thing would just be to stick to an OEM spring
lift?

No OEM is the original equipment
you want OME which are springs made by ARB
or also Ironman which are also produced down under

just go to jeepinbyal

Yep not much travel room at all, will hit going over those speed bumps at the mall.
Plus no power

 

[ScottyRock]

What would it cost me to do a lift like this? Also would it be possible to do a ott type spacer for an extra 1.5" and maybe à spacer in the rear? Would give you like 3.5"s of lift.

My lift was like $156 shipped from Rusty's 2" budget boost, I left the factory spring isolator in the rear and it's good for an extra 1/2", instructions say to discard it

 

[tommudd]

what do you measure from middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare now

Nope, only hits at full lock, jumped train tracks at end of my road and no rub, Well after "massaging" with a 8 lbs hammer to the metal inner rear of the front fender and very slight plastic trimming, No rubbing, with my Stage One chip, cold air intake and Magnaflow muffler, turn Anti skid off and with 3.73's it will light them up from a dead stop, ***** its only getting 15 MPG with the 33's was getting 17 MPG with the 31-10.50's and 20 MPG with stock wheels/tires

 

[ScottyRock]

What offset are those wheels? And what centercaps are those??

Wheels are 15x7 for a Cherokee and the center caps are stock from the steel wheels that came with it

Don't know, I can find out when my wife gets home

 

[ScottyRock]

The currant wheels tire setup came from a 97 Tj 15x8 soft 8's don't know offset

Cold air intake, magnaflow have nothing to do with more power
you need at least 4.56s with those to even begin to use overdrive
even with 32s

I'd like to see you stuff the rear and see if your fender flares survive. Jumping tracks is one thing, but stuffing a tire in the rear is another. Light those up with 3.73s? No way, unless you're dumping the clutch or neutral dropping it. I have 245/75 duratracs and there's no way getting any spin on those unless its anything but dry.

Just trying to set the record straight, not trying to dump on ya. It looks alright but the function is probably little to be desired.

doesn't look like there is much tread left on those 33's... :shrug:

Not trying to jack this thread, but is the budget boost better than the RK 3.5 xfactor lift? I know that a ome or iron man or jba lift would be better, but as of now i a, going to school and working part time and just cant afford new tires and a $700 lift.

Truthfully no
With sagged out suspension and worn shocks no spacer lift is good or better

No spacer lift is good ever right? I mean if you were going to replace you oem suspension to effectively add spacers you might as well just upgrade to a full suspension lift. I dont know how much parts would cost to replace everything with stock but i would guess it really isnt much cheaper then going with OME or iron man. And then buying spacers would negate any savings and leave you with a beat lift.
