Default Hello Out There

First time poster on this forum looks like a nice setup.

Apart from just saying hi I'll let you know I have just taken possesion of a 2005 6sp TJ yesterday This decision was not made lightly as I have owned luxes, bj42 308, defender xtreme and thought that this would be a nice change.

I know NOTHING about jeeps so I guess it's all the more exciting.

One question, what do you good people think is a good packaged suspension (self installed) to go with .. budget is about 2500.

Looking to fit 35" tyres later on but am kinda tight on $$ at the moment.

Thanks in advance

Pete

I'm from the other side of town so I wouldnt know bout that. But as far as $$ go I think you will be surprised at what $2500 will get you.

Do you want to fit tyres into the $2500 budget or is that just for the lift?
If it is for the lift then what size tyres is it for?

How much are you going to take it off road?
What size lift do you want?
etc.

I have some 3" coils for sale at the moment and I am happy to help someone install them as I have done a few lifts alread
It is easy to design and buy the parts for a complete lift from local sources.
It all depends what you want and also what size lift etc.
smaller lifts you can build yourself for great prices, but the bigger ones need more parts so it is sometimes worth just buying a "kit"

We need more information.

cheers
