what kind of lifts do we have and what kind of wheel base?

i'd like to know what size lifts are in this group and tire size with that lift. spring or shackle lift or both. wheel base and tread width. and how it handles. just curious. want to compare it to the formula massachusettes (or however the heck you spell it) uses for the DOT.

 

'71 CJ-5
81" WB
2.5" spring lift
.5" ConFer shackles
RS-5000 shocks
33x12.5x15" Goodyear MTR's
**acceptable ride for short wheelbase vehicle**

 

any of you use wider than stock axles or offset wheels to widen the stance?

sparky, of course tj's count. but they are already more stable than ECJ's.

 

1" replacement rancho springs, 30x9.50 tires on 5.5" wide rims. This probably doesn't count as a lift?!

 

2.5" BDS, 1" Shackles / 33" BFG AT

 

2.5" rough country .5"shackle 32" tires and a dana 30 front axle on a 81" wheelbase.

 

2.5" Superlift (spring lift) & RS 5000 shocks - 31X10.5X15 Cooper Mud Terrains.

 

Yup.. got an extra 2 " width on each side (4" total) with offset rims, more specifically these..( http://www.spidertrax.com/drivetrain_whl.htm )
and I have a skyjacker 2.5" with a 1" frame modification and about 2" extended shackles (1 "lift) in the rear and about 1.5" in the front for another 3/4" lift with about 3/4" body lift and my wheelbase is 83". I have 34 x 10.5 (33" actual height) swamper LTB's... Dunno about stability.. it's still in pieces..

4.5" lift Rubicon Express 2.5" wide springs. Total lift is around 5 inches. Wide track 30 front, narrow track 44 rear with spacers to make it wide track width. 35" GY MTRs. Wheel base is approximately 86.5"

Rides pretty good on the highway and works great off-road.

 

2.5" Skyjacker softride YJ Spring in back.

4plus Front shackle reversal with stock YJ springs and Rubicon Express 1.5" full length add-a-leaf in front.

82" wheelbase

1.5" wheel spacers so 33X12.50 Thornbirds don't rub on wider front springs.

Rides 150% better then when I bought it

 

1" ranchos
.5" confer shackles
d30 front, stock width rear.
stock wheel base

33x10.5 bfg muds

fit perfectly...

CJ6 - Stock height on tired springs (looking at new springs with mild lift). 31 inch BFG A/T's (borrowed from my Landcruiser while Jeep is in progress). Jeep handles OK up to around 40, but as I have no brakes yet, have to take the foot off the gas before we run out of space on the property!

 

2.5" bds
2" poly body lift
3/4" shackle
33 x 12.5 x 15 bfg at's
81" wheel base

 

Yup,

75 cj5
custom SOA with 2.5" RE wrangler springs
cut down cherokee coils and links out back
94" wheelbase
58" wide custom axles
And it works good!


BTW, I dig Billy's jeep!

Ps. Massachusets uses a formula for tread width and wheelbase to determine max safe lift height? I have no idea what my treadwidth is.

 

2.5" lift of unknown origin (pulled from parts jeep)
0.5" shackle lift.
31x11.50x15 Swamper LTB
80" wb

 

What he said about billy's jeep....
