    I have two 2" budget boost spacers stacked for my lift. Will that be enough clearance to run with the big dogs in Moab?
    What it is, what it was and what it be like?

    You should be just fine. Although you may want an additional 1" of tire clearance, so a body lift should get you what you need. Also a lot of people have gone to Moab and run out of head light fluid, so you may want to check that before you go.

    Good idea, my Thornbirds are pretty aggressive tires, I don't want to bend my fenders up.

    Why stop at two 2" pucks? Go for 3, and get 6", that's called a 6 pack, a very popular lift.

    I think this is an April Fool's joke, just a few days late.

    Go to 4x4 related items. I have a 3 inch lift for sale for 150.00 composed for 2" budget pucks and 1" springs. Buy it, combine it with the "lift" you have now, and run 7" on short arms.

    Duct tape, lay 1 roll under each coil, good for 2.5" of lift.


    Braid 7 rolls and you have a winch cable.


    Use 2 rolls and you can make a cooler.


    4 and make a hammock for those long trail stops.

    Wasn't Cody using a similar setup on his first ZJ when he rolled it in a parking lot?

    Dude, just returned form Moab. 96 grand with 4in lift on 33s. Went everywher eI pointed it except throught he golden crack. Gotta be locked to get through that on 33s. The wrangler will doi it unlocked, but not the grand. I did high dive and upcheck without slipping a wheel. I dont have a locker mind mind you. I think you'll be fine. The one thing I did find was that without the sway bar in, I flexed intot he fornt of the fenders pretty good. good enough to crush the charcoal canister for the evap system. Also figured out that my Mx-6s are way underdamped for the weight of the vehicle. Also destroyed a set of spider gears. The O-reileys has Yukons for a real price, not the moab markup.

    It was caused by those damn sway bars.
