lift

[stubs]

I'm now ready to buy tires for my Jeep. I am thinking about getting 33s .1250-15s. I have a 1997 Wrangler TJ will I be able to put these on this vehicle with out a body lift? If I need to do a body lift how many in. and what kind of body lift kit do I buy. Whats with the hockey pucks... Do they work?? Thanks Nick aka stubs

2" budget boost and 1" body lift will clear the 33" tires with no rubbing at all.You will need spacers or rims with more back spacing.You can get away with less of a lift if you keep it on road only,I am not usre how small of lift though.

Or you could go with a 3" lift kit.

Hockey pucks are an inexpensive method of gaining 1" of body lift. Stacking pucks is a bad idea so I wouldn't go any higher. Just get 11 pucks and 11 grade 8 bolts that are 1" longer than stock. Usually costs me about $25 for a 1" hockey puck lift.

When you go to put the lift on, only remove the 5 body bolts from one side and the one bolt from beneath the grill. Then you can use those to buy your longer bolts, 2 of each but only 1 for the grill.
