shorty shocks?

Right now I have a 2 1/2 skyjacker suspension lift and a 1" body lift. I want 33"s but not sure if they will fit and still be able to disco. So i was thinking if i add a spacer they would fit, but with out upgrading the shocks it would effect travel. should i just get 32"s

if i am wrong or just over thinking let me know

That's exactly what I got ... 2.5" Skyjacker, 1" BL and 33 x 12.5 MT's on Tech1 Rockcrawaler Streetlocks. There is plenty of clearance... see the pics below with and without the stock flares on... (more on www.JeepRocks.com) the only problem I had is when the rear was under full compression the tire would just about begin to hit the stock flare... that's one of the reasons I'm getting wider flares... so the tire can tuck in under them (not to mention the mess no flares makes and the law). The only thing I've done since these pics were taken is add a .75" coil spacer to the rear only because when I loaded up the back with spare, tow hitch, hi-lift jack and hardtop it sat a lottle lower than the front.





So go for the 33's!!!

Happy Wheelin'
