4/1/2007?

I imagine it will be much like the 4 inch GC and Commander lift. Saw one the other day on a GC, Looks like a lot of modifying and welding under the rig was necessary. Looks like a new belly pan and cross member, relocation of differential/front driveshaft, new steering knuckles on the front end. Didn't have time to look at the back.

But your approach, departure and breakover angles would be much improved. Even with a str8 axle the center differential only gets more clearance from the tires. The cradle drop will allow you more wheel travel up front (especially droop) with better CV angles. Running 33's will still be sketchy with the small wheelwell openings and front aluminum diff.

It looks like the King springs for me, so far. I don't consider the spacer lifts out there acceptable.

not as much as you would think on wheel travel
With longer struts bigger tires you need bigger bump stops wich negates the gained up travel
and the same goes for the rear
and to the center diff clearance it mkes the ifs good that with a 2" lift you get 2" under your diff
Trust me I have had an IFS truck with a 4" lift and all you gain is bigger tires and a ton of head aches nothing else
after you put on bigger tires what will you do for gears? 4.10 just won't cut it with 33's I dont like 3.73's with 30's
IMO with 33's you need 4.56 min if not 4.88 then of corse the old alum. front diff problem

You can gain some wheel travel...I did not say how much...compared to current lifts that the UBJ contacts the Strut assembly

The cradle drop will add no extra clearance for the front diff but will help everything else EVEN without bigger tires.

The gains are better CVJoint angles, departure-approah-breakover angles

Already stated that 33's are risky so the tire issue is mute but with the automatic and 4.10s you would have plenty or gear ratio especially with a CRD

Try telling that to my brother
33's and 4.10 on the first gear swap on a YJ with 4.0
latter he had to do a second swap to 4.56 due to lack of gear and is now looking at 4.88
most guys run 4.56's with 33's it's like a magic number but I am sure that if you dont mind 2 miles to the gallon on gas the 4.10 are fine
for mud and flat ground then 4.10 is ok but any thing else it will not be
if it were then why would they put 4.10's in a rubi with 31's? and they have a 4-1 low range
but hey what do I know?


also the CRD thought I would say maby but guys that are running LS1 V8's and auto's with 36's still run 4.88's and 5.13's or lower
and that V8 is stronger than a CRD hands down

You always seem to think any difference of opinion with your views is an attack on you...It isn't, it is just another opnion!

KJs with automatics and 32's run fine with the transfercase in 4LO and stock gearing. Since 4.10's are the only R&P that fir the KJs front diff right now, that is the only solution for the time being. Sure the Rubicon has different gears...we don't, those are just the facts. This is about working with what we have, not with what a Wrangler, Toyota, ect have. The main point is that extra lift even with an IFS has advantages in many areas.
