Here is what my old zj looked like. It had 6.5" lift on long arms and 33's. Stupid me decided to trade it for a truck. Wrong decision.

 

[nick86]

I DD drive a 95 I paid $400 for 2 yrs ago. No lift on 31's.

Nice flex on that zj

Mine with 4.5" lift and 35s going down the 33s. Bad pic but was getting dark and I just finished taking spacers off it.

I also have a 5.9 ZJ that is stock ish

 

[OverlandZJ]

Mine is getting close to road worthy..

Wish would have picked up NAGCA before VerticalScope did, we could have grown a bit had we known.

 

[Big Red]

Nice zj. I really like the 96-98s! I'm on nagca.com from time to time. I didn't know of the change in web hosting but always saw lots of ads on the website that aren't jeep related.

 

[darksidemj]

I don't have it anymore but this is my old 96. Both ZJ's I had always seemed to have trans problems...:dunno:

 

[emptypockets86]

Picked this '94 up earlier this month. Fuel pump went out and I haven't messed with it since. Does a great job getting in my way though.

 

[w_howey]

I am.. till I decide to finally drag it to the JY...

 

[Auto_guy]

Looks like you guys have some cool zjs. I'm leaf springing the rear of my 95 hopefully this month. Money is tite right now..saving for a older rv or a suburban to pull the 95 over to the badlands. The swap was suppose to be started last week. But my dd 97 started acting up. I said screw it an going to put a 242 tcase in it along with a hp dana 30..

Took the wife an kids wheelin on Labor Day weekend an damn with 4.5 lift an short rear arms it felt like it was going to roll over every where we went. It was the first time for the kids going...they were scared at every turn. I don't want to leafspring it in the rear but long arms are out of the question right now. We gotta make it to winterfest...

 

[IllianaXJ]

Weird. I haven't had any issues with mine acting like that. I love the way it handles on the trail. Maybe you have really soft springs.

Would stock springs with (2) 2.5 inch pucks stacked do it? Lol that's the way it's set up now...it was my dd...now trail rig

 

[IllianaXJ]

Yeah. Anytime you stack pucks it's not ideal.

 

[Jeepguy91]

If i remember correctly, you can find some 3" lift coils for the front and just put your stock front coils in the rear for a 3" lift. That is what i had on mine when i got and that kit was from rough country. Never had any problems with it.

 

[Big Red]

Ur right that is a common cheap lift on a zj is the stock rear coils to the rear and 3-4" aftermarket front coils. Lots of feedback on that and other cool zj mods on nagca.com

 

[Auto_guy]

Yep I've read that. I'm going to get 4.5 springs new front an rear for it. I want to get away from pucks. I'm hoping it will handle better on the trails. My sons are scared to death to ride in it now. It feels like its going to roll over in every off camber situation. It scared me a couple times.
