3rd Gen Long Travel

Sorry to brink up a zombie post.

I’m confused on if a LT suspension can be ran with oem fenders. I have a special paint job and don’t want to replace fenders. What options are out there that are fender friendly?

 

I am currently accepting donations.

 

you can run a +2 kit with OEM fenders

 

I hate you for reviving this thread! There are things seen in here that can’t be unseen and that my wallet can’t handle!!!

But thanks for the reminder.

 

Can you just custom paint some new fenders?

But yes just run a +2 kit like others have said. They’ll still stick out and ruin the rest of your paint.

 

I could but my current paint is suppose to be able to handle some mud and rocks being flung at it. (and truth be told I don't like the fiberglass fenders on these that much) Got a quote for parts to do the +2 from Total Chaos and I know the price can probably be beat, but holy S... I didn't expect the grand total to have that many zeros.

 

I’m guessing that’s by Waikiki Shell..

 

Haha.

Good call. I have Fiberglass fenders and bedsides on mine and have never really been a fan of them.

 

What's happening for the rear?

 

Yup

 

Hey man that info is wrong. You need to run a coil over that fits the kit. The OEM replacement and the long travel coilover are not interchangeable

 

For the front end alone you’re looking at 3500 for the kit, 1800 for the coilover set 500 for the dual shock hoop 1800 for the bypass set and a few more Hundo for the gussets plus the install. Shit ain’t cheap lol

 

You’re right I should’ve have been more specific, when I was taking to Baja Kits, they told me that information. But I do not know if it applies to other 2” LT kits as well.
No matter the case, I would’nt recommend doing it unless it’s just a short term hold over for custom shocks being built.

 

Yeah, what this guy said!

 

its mid travel.
look at the LCA, they're shorter, not LT length.

 

What the biggest size tire you can run on the +2 kit with stock finders? I do plan on off-roading it.
Thanks

 

If you need to ask that you're not ready for LT

But anyways that all depends how much you're willing to cut
But otherwise probably no more than a 31" tire since you already need to cut to fit a 33" without LT

 

No cutting needed for skinnies, 255/85/16

 

Depends on wheel offset .

But with LT you would probably be out far enough you'll still need to trim a little .

 

Im always jealous of the Jeep guys. My cousin is on 37s with a 2” lift
