Reference info. For set-up.

2000 Sport 4.0L, auto, 35 rear, gearing ? hope 3.73

Where I live SE Michigan.

What I will be using the jeep for.
Camping in the summer time has to be able to tow trail for gear.
Off-road sandy trails in the north, mud around home & Silver Lake Sand Dunes.
Drive to work couple days a week. (not primary vehicle)

This is what I am going to run.
2” coil, 1” bl with mml (3/4” spacer can be added if needed)
No disco’s
15 x 8 wheels backspacing 4.25
Rear bumper with 2” receiver

This is the question tire 32 x 11.5 or 33 x 12.5?
Would like to go with 33.

MY 1999 4.0 3 spd auto has 3.07's. Look at you front dif it might still have the tag on it stating what gear you have. I am not sure if 33x12.50 might not work with 4.25" back spacing 33x10.50 will work with that back spacing I would say 4" would be better if you want to run 33x12.50. They lift should be ok with 33's. Why no disco's? They don't cost that much and really improve the off road performance.

I personally wouldn't spend money on 2" springs, but would get spacers instead.

Is there a benefit to running 2" springs over spacers?

I feel that I don't need disconnects for what I am going to be running on. Nothing will require the amount of articulation that disconnects provide. I don't plan on going rock crawling.

Would realy like to see some more input.
