I have a stock TJ pitman arm, rear track bar.

Thx but I guess I need to specify I need these thing for a 6" lift.
-
What, are you putting 4d's without cutting? Is there is no need for a 6in lift. 35's can be ran with less than 6in's and that the biggest that's the largest the stock tj axles need to see, but if you have a terdy 35 rear then 35's can make it explode going down the road...kid you not.
what lift are you thinking about running? There is will be so much cost assoiated with that high of a lift that it's crazy.
-
I run 35's on 3.5". Matt runs 2.5" and 35's. It can be done. I for one do not like when Jeeps go over 4" total lift. Gravity lines change and it gets hairy...
-
Yep I have 35's with 3" (2" sus, 1" BL). But i see you have a Cj5, not a TJ in sig and picture so I got no clue on lifts for that but I would think as small as the CJ is... 6" of lift would be down right scary on anything but a flat road.

He is piecing together a lift for a 2006 TJ (see profile)
He bought some stuff I used to have.
2 4'' front springs
2 2'' coil spring spacers
2 5.5'' rear springs
t-case drop bracket
He could make this work and run it for years for not much money.
It comes down to he only needs those couple of parts to have a whole
lift......yes it may be higher that what all y'all like are think is proper
It all comes down to spending the money
to start with or if you can't afford it to piece a
lift together. If I had it to do over I would have
waited until I could afford it. Hindsight is 20/20.
I ran 4'' springs with additional 2'' spacers for a
total of 6''s for several years with 35's on stock
axles.

{agree} It took my years to save for my 1st lift. I believe in doing things right the 1st time. Kevin, nobody is busting on him. We are just posting opinions and offering suggestions to get it done right. But is this for a TJ or CJ?
-
He told me for the TJ.....
-
Well, I guess the question is this then... does he want to run 6"? I know we all like things in our own way, but 6" is alot of lift on a TJ. But, to each his own right!
-
He posted wanting front springs for a TJ...

He agreed to buy my 4'' front springs.....
When we met I also showed him the 2'' spacers, 5.5'' rear springs,
and t-case bracket, and control arms with worn bushings. He had
control arms already so I said with the rest of my stuff you could
just bout have a whole lift but it would be 6'' instead of 4''.....
so he bought the rest...
-
Well to each his own! Jeeps are like Legos, you can build anything you want! I can say when I went from a 3" BL to a 1" BL I could feel a huge difference in the roll of the jeep on the road. If he wants 6" have at it but we all are just trying to show the other side of a big lift. Little lifts have issues too. I drag my belly and high center a bit but hopefully my new belly skid will help that.

COG can all together be different with the same lift height. For instance a Jeep with a 4" lift could have a better COG than a jeep with 3" of lift. COG is factored by width of tires, spacers or not, width of axles, if you have a tire carrier or not and weight of the spare, engine weight, how much other weight is in the jeep and where the weight is, and the list keep going. So, COG is all together different than just the lift height although I wouldn't reccomend 6 inches though.

Have any of you acutally had a 6 '' lift? I understand what y'all are saying. But who has
had a 6'' lift? I've been at 5'' to 6'' now for 3 years and wheeled with each one of you.
current pic 5.5'' springs front, 4'' spring with 1'' spacer rear for leveling
with the weight of the winch I figure I sitting with 5''

All I'm doing is presenting actual experience with that much lift. I'm not saying it's the best
way to go...in every discussion you should each side to be heard. I'm used to the backlash
of doing things my way....35's on stock axles with 3.07 gears....remember that shit storm.....LOL
Now if you want to know stupid.....years ago while piecing together my lift I had my 2'' suspension with 2'' spacers for 4'' total. Bought a 3'' body lift off Craigslist even though I said I never would do a body lift. So then I had 6'' of lift......think that is stupid it gets better. I finally got a true 4'' suspension lift, left the spacer on plus still had that damn 3'' body lift.....

What a dumbass......

I have had 5" total, not 6 on my LJ
-
I had a 6" TeraFlex Long-arm on my old TJ, but I was running 37" tires. I felt like the center of gravity was good. Not sure about 35's though.
-
Hey, we all do things the way we want. Nobody is fussin with that. I was once on the old school way of thinking and at one point wanted a cool 6" lift for the TJ. I thought like most of the guys on JF, that you had to have a huge lift to run big tires. I then researched and found out that it was completely doable to run a low lift and big tires. Now, I have never ran a rig with that much lift. So I cannot bash anyone, and have not. I just know how my jeep feels on the lift I have and 35's and would not want to add anymore height. Ideally I want 37's on this lift. I really wish I could loose and inch or more but can't because of the steering set up and belly up. But that is the cool part about this hobby, guys will run all kinds of stuff on their rigs, some work, some don't, but it is probably the only hobby I have known where each run, I learn something new. Either a new breaking point of the jeep or finding another "pushing the envelop" spot or looking at someone else's rig and seeing something that would work well on mine. Kev, I like the way you think and have stood behind you before on the 35 deal ::) Each of us have our likes and ways, that is the cool part about this group. I have the clearance of a jeep on 6" lift and stock bellypan, hell, maybe more with the belly up. But to each his own and just keep it right side up! {letseat}
