I mostly lurk here and pickup what I can about my Jeep?but ?cars? are not my strong suite and I'm more of a ?gear head? when it comes to computers. So, my 2003 Wrangler Sport is, basically, stock and came with the 30" GSAs?but one of these tires is wearing poorly, even with good rotating hygiene, and, I guess, I'll be in the market for new tires soon.
I've decided that I don't do enough off-roading to warrant 33s, especially as this is still my daily driver which is mostly highway, so I'm considering
31" MTRs. I have the V6, 4-speed automatic, D44s and 3.73 gearing.Also, in the future, because I'm heavily annoyed by them on the trails, I plan to do something that'll make it very easy to disconnect and reconnect the sway bars, but not something as easy as the neat electronic disconnects on the 07 Wrangler, so I don't know if I need to account for these being disconnected as well with 31s.
My questions:
- There don?t seem to be consistent agreement between 31s and 3.73 versus
- If I go with the 31s, do I want a 1" lift or something to make certain there's no rubbing in all conditions?on and off-road? If so, is it a 1" shock spacer? 1" body lift? Do I need to deal with steering stops and such? Muck with the speedometer?
- Should I not bother with all of this and just go with 30? MTRs?
- Any recommendations on a solution for the sway bars that is reliable and "Just Works?"
I guess what I want to know is, if I need to make any adjustments to allow for the 31s to "breath well," what is the MOST CORRECT way in going about doing this? I'm not interested in saving a dollar if I might need to spend two in another year or two.
I just believe in doing things right?the first time.
Thanks in advance, Danny
