I have a stock X which had I believe 29inch tires stock. I don't know how much room they had left when flexed. I put on 35's so I took away 3inches of that...right? Sense I went up 6 inches which is 3inches dia. I haven't been to school in forever...
. If it doesn't hit when stock and I went up 3inches in dia. then I can get by with 3 inches of lift but that would be with the stock BS and then the 35's are wider also.
Beta-pgLOL...When I have kids and if its a boy I will have them under a 4x4 when still crawling...Have you seen that commercial on TV with the guy and his son under his ride and all you could see was the boys legs kicking and him laughing.
. That may be me...LOL. I will do the kit myself and my buddy is helping me do this.
Like all coils they will shoot out won't they?

Kids are awesome. My 2 year old is WAY WORSE then my 5 year old. I can't even mention Garage with my 2 year old around...he's running for his boots! lol.
You know, I didn't use a coil compressor or anything. I just read the writeup by WayofLife I think it was...
I just jacked it up, disconnected the sway bar, blocked up the frame and lowered the jack on the front end...everything came out nicely. I put the new bumpstop in, jacked everything up again to install the bumpstop and then the coil spacers...took me maybe an hour do one side and about half that time to do the otherside, once I figured out the process! But, I didn't do the rear end though!
the writeup pretty much covers EVERYTHING you'll need to do it. TEEJ is right though, you can get the Teraflex on that popular online auction site for like 250 bucks. The 2.5" TF is designed for 35's so you should have any troubles after that.
Good luck and post up pics when you get 'em!

I have them on my JK and on my chevy...I'm running them in 35's on my wife's chevy...they are awesome.
I put mine to the test a couple of times. I like'em better then the BFG MT's I had on there origionally. A buddy of mine had BFG MT's on his TJ when we went out last time and was complaining they weren't sheddin' the mud...mine had NO buildup @ all.
Here are a couple of pics...

I can get one of these here in my town and they said it was a 1 3/4 inch spacer. Its just the spacers and nothing else for $160 of about $400 installed. I had a quick question about a guy I heard of thats running a BB with his stock spacers...is this a good thing to do? He said he wheels his pretty hard with no problems. I have cut my stock flares and now I bottom out on my wheelwell on my body. Is this a very good price on this stuff? and installation? Or should I hold off and look some more. I just may need a couple inches.
umm..... What was the quesiton?

LOL...I cleared that up on the 1st page, now we are talking about tires and Beta-pg 5 year old that helped him with his front spacers utahgoose wants him to help with his lift and I'm thinking about borrowing that 2 year old for a while and teach him how its done...who knows he may know more than me. Anyways, the tread kinda changed up a bit...
