The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Yeah, I've always been a Deegan fan, he's a bad ass lol. Just looked at those tires and they look nice.

 

I just hope there not no 20,000 mile tires then you gotta buy new ones. I have general grabbers and I've been reading a lot of bad stuff on the jeep forums but for me I think they are pretty nice and quite. About to try them out in the same dunes this weekend and I hope the perform.

 

Hey guys, I'm sure this thread gets these posts a lot but I have a 2013 regular cab 4x4. I was hoping to get a 1.5-2 inch lift. I don't really want to level it, I would rather beef up the rear suspension a little too. I was wondering if there is a way to do the lift and if there are any common problems are there fixes? Like driveshaft noises etc. If there are common problems I'd rather not just live with them. I'm not really concerned with getting something cheap, even though this is a very mild lift compared to what you guys do, I'd rather do it right or not at all.

I've done some trails on my stock truck and I'm hooked but I'm not looking to do anything crazy that requires 35s minimum or anything. The only mods if you will are 265/75/16 and a set of rock sliders. I'd like to just get a little extra clearance from a quality kit. Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

This is the Ironman 2'' lift with 265/75r16's. You get a little over 2 inches due to the coils being designed for the heavier v6. I had no vibrations or issues with it so far. It is a little stiff and took about a year to break in the leafs. The fronts are still pretty stiff but I like it.

 

Quick crappy shops. Tried to keep the same size by measuring the head lights in the first and the beds in the second. I really need to fix my damn headlights. They make the truck look like crap.

 

Here is a unmounted 265 next to the mounted 315

 

Get some . You won't regret it.

 

Haha well if treadwright got their shirt together I would have went with them again. $270 a tire wasn't terrible though. My friend paid $1100 for tires for a damn car.

Last comparison I have. Everyone else is on 33's. This is why you don't buy 33's if you know a guy on 35's . Can't wait to order a bumper

 

I've heard mostly good things about the iron man lift. What do you guys think about ome with the leafs? What would get about 1.5 out of the regular cabs? The. 883s or 884s in front?

What about icon?

 

884s with no top plate spacers (only 5mm trim packer on driver's side to compensate for Taco lean) gave me 2 13/16" lift.

 

Anyone with a reg cab done a twin stick manual transfer case swap? I'm about to pull the trigger now. Can't afford the crawlbox at the moment but I figure it shouldn't be a huge deal to add one later if so desired. I just hate electric stuff where a simple manual linkage is much simpler and more robust. My transfer case actuator is shot and rather than replacing it and possibly having it fail again I'm really thinking about swapping.


Any input regular cab brothers?

 

I haven't seen it. I think the only guy I have read about doing it is n0rth.

 

Think it's worth the effort without a crawl box? I really can't justify a crawl box until I'm locked, but the manual transfer case has huge advantages as far as durability is concerned

 

all ive ever owned were manual transfer cases. this is my first mechanical one and boy do I get frustrated trying to engage my 4x4. with my old trucks I could run 2wd till I got stuck then use my 4lo. now I gotta make sure I dont get into a situation like that, I always engage my 4lo even tho I dont really need it

 

I mean, thats up to you if its worth it. It would be a fun mod but there will be cutting and custom work needed. I had issues at first getting into 4low but for about 6 months now I haven't had a problem. Works right away.

 

I think I'm going to go ahead and do it. I hate having down time for stupid reasons. Granted this mod will be somewhat overkill for the time being but once the rear is locked 2lo will be awesome!

I've got a busy summer ahead of me lol

 

Good luck! Was going to finish the fenders today but the weather seemed off. Felt like it was gonna rain all day.

 

I am starting to save for the OME kit. Comes with 884 Coils, Shocks, aal's and all the hardware for $780.99 shipped. I only plan on going to 265's but it should look good and will have a better ride than just a spacer lift.

 

What kinda style?
