My kit came with longer shocks that where junk. I replaced them with +2 dt 8000s from iro. I have no bumpstops at all. I do have rear sway bar yet, but removed the front. Mine gets the beans beat out of it every time it's driven.

33s and 31s. Black wheels are 7s with 31s. Polished are 8s with 33s.

I'm thinking about bilstein 5100s even though they're a little spendy... Unless anyone else can suggest some cheaper alternatives that aren't too bad

Mine is factory tbs and cas with 3 in bb.
Zj lift rule of thumb. Over 3 inches, cheap, reliable, pick 2.

Dt8000 or bilstiens are the only ones I'd consider.

IMO 5100's for my ZJ was the best money I put into it so far.

I found them for 80 bones each with free shipping, so I think that's what I'm getting.

Thank you. There is a lot of fender trimming, inners pounded and trimmed, lots of unreversable stuff done to stuff 33s. Putting 3.5 iro springs now but I'll have some manufacturing to do to make these work.

What do you mean by that? The site I'm buying from lists them as fitting a zj with 3" of lift. Is that not as accurate?

If you street drive mostly it won't matter. I needed shorter so I could stuff further and my stock arms couldn't droop enough to use all of the length. For a rig that you never disco the front sway bar you'll never know the difference.
