been doing a lot of research and i just want to make sure i understand everything correctly :?

the jeep needs new tires before too long, and i figured i might as well lift it so i can get the tires i want.

so the plan is...
Frankenlift II premium :frankie:
extra rear iso's
clevis lift ~3/8" i think?
Maybe Strut plate spacers from Rusty's ?(overkill or no?)

and i should be able to mount 245/75 R 16 tires (Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs) on my stock renegade rims just fine?
possibly pound pinch weld/push foglight hatch forward

or is a wheel with 4" backspacing required to get rid of rubbing? (cragar soft 8's)
i would prefer to hold off on wheels until i can afford some nice alloys that i like.


this will all be followed by some skid plates/rock rails so i can finally hit some trails like i have been wanting to do for the past 3 years when i first got it! :BANANA:

DON"T NEED;
if using Frankenlift
Clevis
upper plates
the above will make it too high and have severe CV angles/ spring-UCA contact
now after you get 75-90,000 miles then you can add :wink:

Do get;
extra rear upper iso
alignment right away
rear bumpstops, 2 hockey pucks per side bolted through the spring pad
may need to pound over the pinch weld
You can mount 245-75-16s on the stock wheels
Duratracs are good tires for sure, good choice
