Projectcivic80 · 01-18-2004, 10:22 PM

I don't know how tall I want to make my jeep but I am interested on your opinions on the subject and I would also like to see some pics of YJ's on 40-44's. Thanks, Trey

Well, what kind of offroading are you going to be doing? Rocks? Mud?

**Devious** · 01-18-2004, 10:55 PM

Devious to the rescue!!! ok, sorry

And one of the Jeep in the background.

Alright, you twisted my arm. One more

first i don't know how much knowledge of offroading you hav, but if you are still learning to offroad i would definately recommend not going with 40 - 44's. The cost to fit 40's would included lifting your suspension a good 2-4" (depending on the amount of body lift, fender mods, etc), and then additionally doing an SOA conversion, or going to coil springs... also you would need new axles (unless you want to break an exle every other day), regearing, new driveshaft, etc... the list goes on

. So unless you want to spend tons of money on a vehicle that you wont even be able to use properly (if you are infact still a novice) i would recommend something a little more modest. If you are intent on lifting your jeep, 33" and 35" tires are more standard sizes and they still look beefy, which i am geussing is what you are looking for. and for those size tires there are multiple routes which you could take in order to fit them, it matters how much money you want to spend and how much offroad functionality you want out of the jeep. that's my opinion

Im going to be doing mostly mud but I might get into rocks. I know ill probably get burned on here for requesting pics w/ 44's but I was curious to see how tall it was. Thanks Devious. I can always count on you buddy. See ya, TreyB

Just curious about the sizes of rubber on those pics posted by Devious. Look like some might big Jeeps ..... NICE

Projectcivic80 · 01-18-2004, 11:19 PM

P.S. Devious.....Do you have any pics of a really really nice Yj on some big tires? Like a show jeep with new paint etc.? Thanks, Treu

**Devious** · 01-18-2004, 11:39 PM

Lemme see what I can dig up off the HD. Here is one that is pretty nice, but I'm sure it's not a show Jeep.

44's on the red YJ and black TJ. And I think 42's on the Blue Jeep with the Warn sticker.

**Devious** · 01-18-2004, 11:43 PM

Another one that is not a show Jeep, but it is clean

I doubt it's your idea though.

Thought the tops ones might have been 44's.
Thanks for the info.
I"m planning a build in the summer and I'm looking into tire sizing as well.
Probably gonna stay somewhere in the 38-40 range
44's are a little too big for me I think.
I still want to drive mine on the street as well. lol.
