SkyJacker 2" lift
Any comments on the SkyJacker 2" Lift kit. The one with the spacers and the
replacement shocks.
I am looking for a little bit of a lift to fit some bigger tires and gain a
bit of clearence. The 2.5 kit made no sense to me, because the transfer
case has to come down and inch.
I drive the vehicle everyday, so i do not want to go too high.
Also, how big a tire can i fit on the Stock Canyon 15X8 Rims. 32 x 11.50??
replacement shocks.

Re: SkyJacker 2" lift
A spacer lift is a spacer lift is a spacer lift. Makes no difference
who makes it IMO, but you want one that includes bump stop extensions
(which Skyjacker includes I think). The thing you really need to
choose with a spacer lift is the shocks... so the real question would
be are Skyjacker shocks any good? I dunno, never had any experience
with them. Hopefully someone else can comment on them. I opted for the
Teraflex Budget Boost (which comes without shocks), then bought some
Edelbrock Performer IAS shocks.
Don't be too down on a lift just because it comes with a transfer case
lowering kit. The 2.5" Skyjacker actually has replacement coils and
extended control arms I believe... I'd personally rather run that than
my spacer lift if money wasn't a concern. Actually, I'm even one of
the unlucky ones that needed to lower my transfer case with just the
2" spacer lift.
11.5" wide tire is probably a bit too wide using stock wheels. They
will 'fit' on the wheel, but I think you'd have to adjust the front
steering stops a bit much for practical driving, and they may even
still rub at full flex. I'd stick to a 32x10.5 (not a popular size I
don't think), or the more common 31x10.5 on stock wheels. Still have
to adjust the steering stops, but not as much.
