Hi all, just got a 92 YJ, 4.0 / 5speed (AX15?), runs great with no rust, but bone stock. I want to put a small lift on it for some bigger tires and want to stay under the "replace the driveshaft/pitman arm/transfer drop" limit. For now, anyway (wallet still tickles a bit from buying the thing on impulse!). I'm thinking about a 2" shackle lift for now - I'm sure I'll go springs/shocks and all the other stuff later, but right now it needs tires and I'd hate to put stockers on it. I figure one set of tires from now I'll have the money and inclination to make it even taller (to "do it right", as it were...).
Anyway, with the 2" shackle kit, will I have any vibration or U-joint problems? Should I drop the transfer case to be safe? Brake lines OK? Pitman? I'm hoping to just install the shackles, align the front end and go get some decent 31-33" tires, depending on clearances.
Any info for the newbie is appreciated, thanks!!
