    My springs are slap wore out. I need some advice. Do I go with the 1 inch lift from Rancho or superlift, the 2 1/2 from both these companies or the 3 inch from black diamond. I have a 60 3B. I wouldn't mind the 3 inch but i am afraid i would have to do some mods (drop pitman and lower the tran.case) or i'm I wrong. Probably would never run bigger than 31x 1050 on 15x8 wheels right now .

    The problem with a loaded question like this is, you ask 10 guys here, and you will get 15 different answers.
    My self I'm getting rid of my Pro Comp 2.5" and going Black Diamond 3" on the 5.
    My YJ has a 4" Rough Country.
    See there are 2 already. :D

    1" lift with 31's. Keep it simple. ;)

    Either 1" lift will work fine.

    It's a personal choice. I used stock ride height springs on my 5 and am very happy with it. It brought the frame height up to 21" with the 31's on ;)

    I think you should go with a 6" lift ;)

    Griff,

    I was going to the Rancho 2.5" and you shouldn't have to touch anything else (for 2As anyway). I bought stock springs from Walck's and as usual, he gives you a choice and as usual I say give me the better one. It gave me 1" of lift. I kind of wish I went to the Rancho 2.5" and it would have been cheaper too. HTHs

    This is a 3A on 31's with Holbrooks... Gave me about 2.5" of lift.

    Thanks for the advice. I think I will go with the 1 or 2.5 inch . Either will be plenty for what I use the jeep for.
