03-06 lifted mall crawler owners

CCJ · 03-21-2008, 11:04 AM

I'm wondering what 3"+ suspension kit you guys have had good feedback from for those of us that are more into looks and DD as opposed to rock crawling. I on rare occasion will hit a mud hole or two but I mostly want to clean 33's maybe 35's with a suspension system (not body lift, ect...) that is soft and nice for DD not anything extreme long arm kit for the ultimate off roader. I've searched and can't come across anything for our rare breed of mall crawling Jeep users. Please post feedback. And if there are any offroaders that have any input in regards to this DD mall crawling category please post as well. thanks!

3" Full Traction Economy lift...porbably your cheapest route if. Or a Rusty's 3" lift...and some Hydro Shocks.

Skyjacker Hydro shocks, RE 3.5 Kit should let me crawl any mall in the continental US.

forget 35's, for just being a mall crawler it involves way too many modifications to run them properly.

You could do a 2.25" budget boost kit with a 1" body lift and fit 33's and it would be very inexpensive. I noticed you made reference to no body lift, but a 1" isn't bad looking and a common thing to have to help clear a larger tire.

X3 Yep, for the usuage you describe, it doesn't make sense to spend any more than a 2.25" BB and 1.25" BL. You can do both for around four hundred bucks and it will ride almost as good as stock.

And btw that 400 will include shocks just in case you weren't sure.

apologies, re-reading my post, it sounded way more forceful than I intended

To bring my post back on topic: I'm curious about some inexpensive solutions to fit 33" tires for some mild to moderate trails, too, so I'll be following this thread (and the many others like it).

you could run a 3" black diamond lift, unless you get a 4" or more lift, it'll be hard to fit 35's without a body lift.. the black diamond is the lift i am getting this summer... replacing the worn out mystery lift on my jeep.... rockymountain suspension is the cheapest place i have found it. $466

2.25"BB=$80 1"BL=$100 4 Skyjacker hydro shocks=$135. $315 for lift to fit 33's

That's gonna be done with the check that's in the mail for a month's worth of free-lancing for the local paper. Interviewing high school basketball coaches 2-3 times a week all of a sudden feels very worth the effort. I love that setup right there.
