So I have had my 1999 sport for a few years now and im ready to make some changes. The PO installed a 3 inch BDS lift with new leaf packs, fox shocks, SYE, Tom Woods DS, with fixed BDS lower control arms. I measured from the frame and I have around 3.5" lift up front and 4" in the back. The problem is it had brand new 28" duratrack tires on it when I got it. I told myself as soon as the tires wore out I was going with 31s. Well its been 2 years and the tires still look brand new!
Well I scored a set of 2014 rubicon takeoffs on craigslist and im itching to put them on. My spidertrack spacers should be here next week but until then I had a few questions.
I think the spacers will give he around 4.5" of BS and the tires measure 31.5" There a no rocks around here just mud so I will not be flexing like crazy. Can I kiss the stock flares goodbye with these tires? I expect a little trimming up front but any uptravel might wipe out my factory flares. I like the look of the factory flares and would like to avoid aftermarket ones if at all possible.
So.... should I look into something like ACOS up front and maybe a shackle relocation out back for a little more lift? Would I need to change out anything like my fixed control arms? I have no DW and would like to keep it that way!
Let me know what you think.
