Great video! Love it that you and your Pop are working together. I've been looking into the IRO 5.5 long arm kit and that's what brought me to your video. Thanks! The Jeeps look great! You've got my subscription & 👍
Yessir. I am quite fortunate. I grew up with him teaching me about rock crawling and wanting to be just like him, and now I’ve drug him over to the overlanding side of things and he wants to be just like me hahaha kidding of course.. but not really..
33x12.50 on a 15x8 wheel and 3.75” backspace is what I’d recommend for this lift. But if you want to do a little cutting and trimming a 35 will fit on the same wheel.
We used the stock drive shafts on this jeep! anything over 5.5” I would recommend a skip yolk eliminator and new rear shaft with a double Carson joint. It’s not a bad idea to do that with this 5.5” kit as well but you can get away with the stock one!
how are the short arms in the rear does it move the rear tires closer to the rear door. also do you have a limited slip yoke with the lift. learning about zjs suspensions
Yes setting flat with short arms the rear tires will typically set closer to the front of the fender opening. This is to allow the backward movement with upward articulation. My only complaint with the rear short arms is the flex steer when you really get it flexed up. It’s not a big deal but you have to account for it on some obstacles when picking tire placement. As far as the slip yokes, both mine and my dads ZJs are running the factory slip yoke driveshafts with no issues. I do plan to go to a slip yoke eliminator with a different drive shaft eventually but have had no issues this far.
