T&T Y-link set up?

Super D · Jan 28, 2007

Ok some mama said I can get a lift

arty: . But I want to do it right the first time. I am going with the T&T Y-link set up with RE 7.5" coils up front but I am not sure what to do with the rear. I want to run a 35" tire and going to have a full size spare rear bumper tire carrier. I have thought of the following options and would like your input on them.

1) RE 5.5" leafs with 1.5" shackle
2) Tomken 6" leafs with 1.5" shackle
3) Rusty's 6" leafs with 1.5" shackle

Any help would be great. This jeep is going to be a dd and my weekend trail rig. thanks for your help.....

7.5" just seems too high to me, I've got the full T&T 5.5" LA lift and run 33" with only minor trimming. With trimming I have no dought I could run at least 36" tires, but I worry about how many D30 parts I would brake. For 35" tires I would stick with the 5.5" lift and just trim the wheel wells a little more.

7.5 inches??????holy shit thats too much for a daily driver. the tires you could put on that thing would hardly fit between the lines of the road.

i am currently trying to set up the same exact kit. iam installing a tnt y-link kit and RE 7.5" coild up front. was thinking about 6.5" in the rear. am running 35x12.50r15 mickey thompson baja claws on allied beadlocks...

If you want to do it right the first time well, go 6" with 33's and no trimming or trim and run 35's.

Oh and I have been running 35s on a HP D30 with used alloy shafts for 4 years now with no breakage. You just have to know your limits with the skinny pedal.

I wold do the RE or Tomken leafs over the Rusty's. Their 6 inch seem real stiff. If you can afford it, I would go with a set of 10 leaf Nationals.

Do BIGoffroads 6" FlexE Dutys, if you have anything less than 100lbs in the back it will give you about 6.5-7"

What about using the TNT u-bolt eliminators?

Best springs on the market and close to home is Alcan Spring and about 80 less than BIG off road (he gets his from Alcan)

they have the double front half spring to help control axle wrap

Somebody started a thread about these a couple of days ago. It seems to be a gimmick. That's my opinion. If you just search around you can find some more info on them here.

Those are a Joke, Weld on lift block is pretty much all they are, but lets not get into that.

XJsurf · Jan 29, 2007

Good idea.

Just get a 2.5" wide one (not the Mopar one) and make you own.

Go for it. I run this kit and it's the best LA suspension I've seen for the XJ and I used to run the Fabtech with coilovers. This kit is even better in terms of articulation and handling. It corners better, and on the highway, I have no more issues with wind blowing me into people's lanes or hitting ruts in the road sending me into pucker overload. It practically drives itself now. Get the whole kit from TnT.

Again, think with your brain and not with your ass.

If he has gone 4 years without breaking .. he didn't waste his money at all.
