I have made up my mind, and I'm gonna do it. Flame if you must, and answer my questions if you can.
I have a 98 xj. It has a skyjacker softride 3" lift that has been on my xj since 2000. I have been running 31 10.50s with minimal rubbing on 3.75BS wheels and also have a set of 31 10.50s on a factory set of ford ranger wheels with no rubbing at all(well maybe a little) with both sets of wheels I have never torn off any of the factory plastic. By next week I will be running 4.56 gears and be locked front and rear. It would be a crime not to put 33s on it. I have decided on SS TSL radial 33 10.50s.
My plan is to bumbstop it up and do as little trimming as possible. I might even settle for a skyjacker type job on the factory flares. I was brought up on fairly stock ford products so I don't know if I will miss that flex or not. The questions I have are:
Can anyone put me in the ballpark with how much bumpstop to use front and rear?
What problems would arrise from moving the front axel forward with adjustable control arms or other like products?
I have a front winchbumper I made, and don't have to worry about hitting anything up front. I know I'm a tightwad, but if I go up anymore then I got to do driveshaft, SYE, lift, and on and on. I still like being able to drive this thing every day. I guess I'm not full fledge hardcore yet, but I still want a rig that will get the job done.
I figure after this summer the addiction will take over, and who knows what will happen then.
