First to say

HAPPY 1/1/11 to everyone

Hasn't anyone realized it's just Saturday (besides it being a new year)????
:ROTFL:

Anyways, who wants to re-gear my Jeep? :lol:

There's money involved :-)r

I've decided before I add my new rear and front bumper, add 32's, put an OEM 1.5" lift kit on and add more heavy stuff to Blackwidow...Its best I re-gear (AND add longer brake lines) before I tear the thing up. I've already learned from my early mistakes of when I first owned it. Having it in the shop 4 times in less than a year of owning it :shock:

Gotta keep it running so it won't end up :dead:

blackwidowkj06 · **Posted:** Sat Jan 01, 2011 1:55 am

Found some more damage to my front bumper "last year"... :ROTFL:

(2 days ago)

Is it possible for my Jeep to with stand the weight of a custom bumper without having to re-gear? Similar to the ARB bumpers. I'm think when I get my other school money, I may just go ahead and have one built. Then have a handy dandy Jeep friend help me install it :mrgreen:

For the time being, I'll compensate with having the front bumper trimmed. :roll:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sat Jan 01, 2011 2:17 am

If you have the OME 927 Heavy duty springs it will hold up to the weight of a aftermarket bumper. Thats what I ran for about 100,000 miles ( ARB front bumper and OME 927s) was running 30-31 inch tires at the time and stock 3.73 gearing

Happy new years fellers

kinda what tom said, the OME HD's or 790 crds or bds will, the stock coils have trouble holding up the stock vehicle, the weight of the vehicle doesn't affect the "need" for regearing as much as the weight of the tires (E's) or the diameter of the tires, over 30.5, change a combination of those two and you either greaten or lessen the felt "need"

like, there's a world of difference between light 265's like P or C/D's vs the E's but a majority of the desired tires at 245-75+ will be D or E

I could tell a huge difference between my 255-70 P's and my 245-75 E's even though they were very close to the same diameter, while I've never noticed a big difference in performance due to added weight steel to the vehicle which there's quite a bit on mine

so yeah, don't sweat regearing unless you decide to bump to 265-75's or something, you'll barely notice the added weight in accel, you will notice it a little on braking performance but even there as long as you're running quality pads it's not really that bad. my brake pads have over 55k on them and they're about half worn

blackwidowkj06 · **Posted:** Sat Jan 01, 2011 11:48 am

Okay, say if I went ahead and bought the OEM 1.5" lift kit that included all the heavy duty stuff had that riding with my spacers, would that be too much? A friend of mine, he did the same thing and there's no problem out of his KJ. Although he has the 3/8 shaved CV's on his KJ from JBA. I know that makes some difference I guess? But I'm not sure how much. I thought I should buy that kit rather than buy everything separate. I'm still keep the 245/75/16 size, although I may buy a set of MT's. Because I like that tread.

STINGN · **Posted:** Sat Jan 01, 2011 11:58 am

that would be at least 5+ inches of lift..even shaved cvs wouldnt work with daystar plus ome

tommudd · **Posted:** Sat Jan 01, 2011 12:36 pm

OEM kit? Original Equipment
I think you wanted to say OME
Plus yes if your friend is running OMEs and a Daystar spacer he won't run long even with shaved CVs, other things hit, like the UCA's, rear tri link won't last long etc.
Although people keep trying it ( adding more) no matter what you do , 3.5 inches of lift is safe for a DD
