Maiden voyage in the lifted ZJ (HUGE pic)....

[razorbackME]

I know you fawkers are gonna hafta scroll, but....



The rest of the pics are at http://stalcup.us/jbrannen/Jason

It's not the coolest pic, but I thought it was neat with JC's XJ in the background.

Me and JC took off the "the creek", a little area pretty close to his house to use as a testing ground.

We flexxxed it up a little, and had no problems with rubbing,
with the exception that I didn't tie the sway bar up,
so one of the MTRs caught it on a tight turn, pitched the ends down, and drove the fan shroud into the fan. [img]icon_smile_big.gif[/img]

A little damage to the shroud, but nothing huge.

Maybe when the water goes down we can get over into the little garden area.
Yeah, that's the deepest it's been that I've seen it. I was playing out in the water and "lost" a tire... that means it was atleast 33"+ deep. [img]icon_smile_big.gif[/img]

Jason's Jeep looked good and flexed well. I can't wait to see it on some real nasty stuff.

did the control arms get close to binding? i've been wondering how high a zj could go on short arms before loosing the flex.

looks good [img]graemlins/icon_beerchug.gif[/img]

Here ya go, I made it a bit smaller:




Hmmm, maybe too small?

Your ZJ gives me all kinds of funny feelings in my groin area

[phillyzj]

looks good, you definately need to tie up the sway bar, you could easily puncture a sidewall with that. I tie mine up on the drivers side only, i just tie it to where the air box was. it's a bit of a pain but no biggy.

[razorbackME]

Well, where mine rubs, there's no danger of damaging the sidewall.
Those are 33s and I have the front axel pushed forward about an inch. The edge of the tread is what hits the bar, and when it smacked the bar and the bar hit the fan shroud, we knew it.

There's no binding of the control arms there, but those are all superflex arms and the flex isn't maxxxed out.

[Aidan]

Oh wow. Im definatly gettin me a ZJ now.
Edit: Hey those are stock-azz ZJ wheels right? Nothing funny going on with them for the 33s?

cool. did you ever figure out how much lift you netted?

[razorbackME]

To answer a few questions....

The wheels are stock, and the tires are 285/75-R16, which nets 33"x11.2"...The 1.3" narrower tire is what allows me to get away with little or no trimming.

The lift netted 4.5" front and 5" rear.
