2 " suspension lift - whats it gonna take to stuff 33s? Aussie lockers?
Looking to stuff some 33s in my soon to be TJ. I have one lined up that is nice, has a 2" lift (nothing special), was thinking coil spacers to get it high enough for 33s but what would you suggest?
Also, was going cheap for now and get some aussie lockers f/r on the TJ - good or bad? not a dd, just a jeep to faack around int

The 2" lift this TJ already has - is it a suspension lift or body lift?
If its a body lift, no problem adding 2" coil spacers.
If it already has a 2" suspension lift, you'll need everything required for 4" of suspension lift if you add 2" coil spacers. So there really isn't any savings.

2" suspension right now - just want to run 33s.
Also, I want to do some kind of cheap locker for these weak differentials, probably aussie f/r for now
I want to take advantage of the summer and this winter build a crawler out of it = long arms, 35s, detroits, dana 44s etc

a lot of people run 33's with a 2" BB and a 1" BL. you may
have some rubbing, may not.
whats your rear axle? if you have a d35 dont drop an Aussie,
or any locker for that matter, into it...

locking a D35 is just a time bomb tickin' and most here
will agree on that with me. in your case, throw an aussie
in the front D30 and call it good, and it will be too.
there are probably people that have locked D35's and
what not but without the super 35 kit, IMO its just a bad
idea. also, running 33's is probably the max size you want
to put on that same weak axle. again, theres people that
run 35's on their D35 with "no problems." to me, that means
"no problems...yet" as its bound to snap.

You got a bunch of spare d35 shafts laying around? Feel like doing trail repairs every time out?
Don't lock the 35

I Stuffed my 33s in today
I got my 33" MTs on my jeep tj today. They are mounted on 15x8 TJ canyon alluminum wheels. They look great and the 2" procomp lift is fine, probably going to notice it when I'm flexing the jeep out, but the next step is getting jks quick discos, then looking for an 8.8 rear disc limited slip, front aussie locker. Eventually stay low - I want low center of gravity like buggies and get some long arms on it.
they look great and only slight track bar, control arm rubbing!
