      im trying to keep this cheap as possible only reason im doing this is because my 33s rub alot with sway bars and i cant cut much more.

        did you hammer up your inner fender seam?

        also what are you doing for bumpstopping?

          you need a bigger lift and to setup your bumpstops, just like wannabejeep has stated

            you should have no problem fitting those

            let your balls drop and trim a little

            and either way you will have to bumpstop, lift doesn't stop your suspension from compressing, bumpstops do.

            especially if you don;t bumpstop with the spacers and shackles, those springs won't last very long, they are only meant to compress so much, and the shackle and spacer allows them to compress more than designed

                first of all to get add the space&shackle you're gonna need bigger shocks and longer brake lines secondly you deff have to do a transcase drop and possible shim the axle also because those shitbox 35's have such a short pinion

                    my fenders are cut i was going to buy the shackle and spacer today from raze. but he never brought it which. i dont think he even has it. i think it was bs to make me waste my time going down there. anyways im getting bumpstops which should help alot speaking is i have none i went to evb today and they put it on the fork lift and said i need 6 inch bump stops i can only find up to 4 inch ones im not shure if evb is right. what size bump stops are you all running on a 3 inch lift with 33s

                      are your inner fender seams cut? I don't care about the outside part.

                        you can easily make your own bumpstops using hockeypucks, do a search and research it..

                          hell, i have about that much bumpstop with 3" and 37's

                          a 33" tire you need to trim a decent amountno matter what. unless you want to jack it to the moon and run stiff springs

                            trimming to fit 33's without rubbing is hardly "hacking up your jeep"

                            this kid also obviously has limited funding so going even higher will only increase the chance that he is going to need a SYE and driveshaft, which he also has zero chance of installing himself (once again, more money)

                            get the proper bumpstopping, trim them to look nice, and be done with it like we have told you from day 1

                            front bumpstopping is easy, John Maru(ninetysix-ex-jay) bumpstopped the front of his jeep before this weekend on 33" tires and he needed 3 hockey pucks on each side, so do that and go from there

                            for rear bumpstopping i bought spring plates from DPG Offroad with 2 bumpstop plates - http://www.dpgoff-road.com/site/dpg_...top_plates.htm

                            and quadratec 4.1" bumpstops - http://www.quadratec.com/products/52422_01.htm

                              Are you joking I do have them. I was in a crazy rush to get to rausch to go on some REAL trails not some bull shit ones behind burger king. But since you are being a douche about it i will not sell them to you. Good luck at that shit hole they call evb. Ask JD to use some lube at least when he rapes you on parts. For every inch of lift you are supposed to have like an inch extra bump stopping.
