What is the easiest way to gain room for larger tires?
– Suspension lift. When the springs are sagged out from years of use or abuse, a 2″ suspension lift gains more clearance (and flex) than a 2″ body lift. The other easy way to gain room for larger tires is to install Bushwacker or TJ flares and trim the sheet-metal of the body to allow for more room. Which is better, open diff, posi-diff, lock-diff or spool-diff in a set of stock axles? – The posi-diff situation is the easiest on the Jeep’s axles with least chance of serious breakage. For more information regarding the different choices, try Randy’s tech sheet. A locking diff is the strongest, and will carry you further down the road less travelled.
