Default 08 X Unlimited Upgrades

I have 33'in Mickey D's Thompson's, 18' Rim', 4inch lift (SkyJacker suspension).

I'm wanting to move to 36's. but wondering what I would need to do and is it worth the money? I went with what I currently have because of $. Now I'm in a place to go bigger.

Suggestions?

You will be able to fit 36's with the 4" lift, unless the Skyjacker has settled a lot. Probably going to want to trim the rear pinch seams and re-gear your axles. I'd spend the extra cash and put on a better lift too but that just my opinion.

Depends on your budget and what you're using your Jeep for. I'm running a 3" Teraflex lift with arms that netted almost 4", clears my 35's easily. In addition to Teraflex, Rock Krawler and Full Traction get great reviews.

How much would a Teraflex Lift cost me?

Give Dave a call at Northridge 4x4 or check out their website for the best prices/selection around.

I agree but think you'll be fine with 37's. You may rub @ full flex but trim pinch seems. This is from what I've seen in just 3 in lifts.

I went with the 35's! I'll post a picture soon. :-) Looks badass!
I'm regearing. Looks so much better than 33's. It was a waste of money in my opinion!
