will it flex enough?

i have a 1981 cj5 with narrow trac axles. i have recently installed a 2.5 inch lift with either .5" or 1" shackles. will this lift be enough to run 33s on moderate trails? or will this not provide enough clearance or flex? confused....is this enough?

well from the sound of it that will be plenty of flex and heighth. your 33's will rub if you hit a hole pretty hard. just wait till you go with somebody who has a built rig then your question will be answered.

I'm going on year number two with my Rubicon Express Extreme Duty 2.5" lift with a 1" body and 33's. I'm still amazed at how well it flexes for a SUA. It will rub in extreme conditions. If they didn't come with your kit, add sway bar disconnects and you should be more than happy! Rick
