i have a similar question, i have a 95yj with a 4cl. can i put anybigger than 31" tires on it without messing it up
December 17, 2007
Agree. On a stock 5, even a 31 may be tight. Here's why. It's a little thing called leaf spring sag. Basically, the leafs give up a bit over the years. Chances are, if you install new factory spec leafs, the CJ will sit higher than now. My YJ went up over 6 inches with a 4 inch lift due to the amount of spring sag I had.Dale

rocky95 - always glad to welcome someone new to the site. especialy when they have a yjDecember 17, 2007
Rocky, my 94 YJ rubbed BAD with 31's on a 8 inch wheel. Even with the little 1 inch body lift. You'll probably be better off with 29s or 30s. However with a 3 inch lift and a 1 inch body lift 31's are great. However, the 4 banger will be straining with the 31 inchers. It just kills the gear ratio. It'll still wheel fine, but highways and leaving stoplights will surely suck.Dale

so 31s will fit a stock 67 cj5 without rubbing how would that be on the motor will it boog it down(the motor is a v6 orgnial) i am just worried that the 31s will wear out the motor faster so my question is what size tire can i put that will not boog down the motor and right not regearing is out of the question so anyhelp would be greatDecember 18, 2007
Stick with a nice 29" tire. Good option for dual purpose. Plus, you can do some decent wheelin' with 29's. Get a locker and a good pliable suspension and you'd be amazed.Dale

Just curious classicCJ, have you ever heard of Google?If at first you don`t secede try, try again!

Hey classic, if you don't want to lift it, I'd go with 30's or 31's. A cheap way to go with a lift is just a shackle lift. You won't gain much, but it may help with the tires. The only other concern would be your speedometer..........oh wait, nevermind, you said it don't have one. |
