3" body lift + 3" suspension? good or bad? need tire help also.
I own a 1994 Jeep Wrangler. It is in decent shape, has a good suspension system and american racing wheels. The tires are a mix of 3 bf goodrich A/T and 1 other A/T. They tires are 31". The jeep has a 3-4" body lift, but no suspension lift. I'm looking to upgrade to 33" tires. If I go offroading it is very light mud or sand. I drive more on streets than I do offroad. What are the best tires for me?Also, as far as the lifts go..I would much rather have a 4" suspension lift than a 3" body lift, which I already have. I went offroading recently, and bottomed out almost instantly. Is there any way that I could do a 3" suspension lift on top of the body lift? Would that be too much? Or should I drop the body lift down to about 1" and then do the 3" suspension lift. If I do the suspension on top of the body lift, that would be almost 6-7 inches. Plus the 33" tires would raise it another 2". That sounds like a lot, but if it will work safely without flipping...I'd go for it. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. -Sean

3" is a LOT of body lift. I wouldn't run more than 1" of body lift on a jeep I owned.
Drop it down to a 1" BL and mess with the suspension from there. |

I agree drop it to a 1" BL (I'll plug daytstar) and do a 4" lift. hell you might be on the small side with the 33's at that point.
I know it's a CJ but the same rules aply for the CJ and YJ Here's mine with the 4.5" lift and 1" BL and TJ flares and 35's ![]()

If your going to be wheelin' in light mud and sand, I would suggest the BFG A/T.
