if its just for looks get some all terrains or mtr's.......... aggressive tread wont last long on roads

since when is a MTR just for looks? its one of the most proven trail tires in hardcore wheeling and extreme crawling.

as long as your arent going out and getting huge articulation in your suspension a 4 inch would work without any major mods. you may get by without cutting at all

no way at all.

if you want the suspension to be functional, there is no way a 4" can be done on a YJ without trimming the front fenders and rear quarters. look at how much clearence i have in the fenderwells with a 6" and 35"s. thats with only 18 lbs of pressure in the tires. if you run normal pressure on the street, you will have problems if no panels are cut. a 4" is designed to work properly with a 33" tire.

alright 4" is out of the question, unless I cut away at the fenders which i DO NOT want to do. How bout a 5" coil over lift? Will that clear 35s?

to run 35s on the YJ since we are getting technical you need an 8 inch lift to clear with no problems with rubbing or anything.

even with a 6" he would be cutting a little or rubbing when her gets the suspension flexing

not what im saying............. i meant it does good on road and looks sexy.

example: bogger(not an on road tire but great in mud)

there is no way in hell im running 8"s. it will look way to ridiculous. ive seen 8" clearing 37"swith NO problem at all. Actually saw it 3 days ago when iw as speaking to the owner.

the dana 35 is weak as ****. dont run a big tire on it, it might be alright for normal street driving. but when you regear and go off road its just waiting to snap the shafts...........

ford 8.8 is the easiest conversion as said above....

a 5" coil over will work, but i would rather do a coil setup with a 4 link front 3 link rear.

a 6" will no cause problems. i dont run the track bars or sway bars in them. i can fully stuff each tire without issues. i was even thinking about going to revolver shackles to get more droop. that yellow/white YJ has roughly 12" of lift on 37"s to give you an idea of size. mine is on the minimal lift size for 35"s and making it function. i have no desire to go higher. i actually want to go to tube fenders up front and get real nasty with a front coil setup.

it was probably a TJ or JK. those are a little different than a YJ in terms of lift size.

but the c clip 35 is for sure weak. dont waste any money on it.

GL with the build

just out of curiousity, are you looking at fabbing all the suspension or buying a kit? if so, what kits?

i know its on leafs, i have a YJ myself. the red one pictured is mine. about the only coil over conversion kit you will find is the fabtech, which still uses a spring over rear. for what it costs, you can probably get someone to build you a four link setup. but it may not drive as good. you can get a better leaf sprung kit from companies like rubicon express. another option versus the rough country (not my favortie manufacturer, but its hard to screw up four springs and a dropped arm) is a spring over kit with a 2" body for fenderwell clearence. it generally will give you about 5-5.5" of lift with the stock axle tubes. there is some cutting and welding that needs to go on, but its pretty darn basic. look into rubicon express. and remember, when going anything over 3-4" you will need a CV in the rear, preferably front too, and a slip yoke eliminator (short tailshaft kit).
