    for people wanting to attempt their own cut and folds... going over the rears with a heatgun before hammering will help stop the paint from chipping

    I put 33x12.50 on my XJ with the same fender trimming and 1.75" spacer and aal. I swapped some suspension and went to 3" lift and I can easily run 35s. May have some extra clearance since I'm using aftermarket control arms and the front axle is pushed forward almost an inch. Nice video!!!!

      @AdmiralOffRoad  7 років тому +1

      Thanks, yes I have 4.88 gears. I'm keeping the Chrysler 8.25 and going to a D30 HP front. I'm super happy with the gearing. Its a little deeper than stock which helps get those heavy tires turning, but only runs a few hundred RPMs higher on the highway

  • @Slaters_RC

    You can take some black door trim that you get in a roll to clean up the cuts and make them not as sharp or I have seen people take some small hose and cut it then glue it on.

    I know this video is old, but I just noticed your front wheel is counter balanced. Wheel weights need to be in only one location. I highly recommend taking it somewhere (that actually knows what they're doing, and doesn't counter balance) and have them rebalance it.

    • @AdmiralOffRoad
      @AdmiralOffRoad  6 років тому +1

      The rear is a Chrysler 8.25 and the front is a High Pinion Dana 30. It came with a low pinion front. The high pinion dana 30 wasnt a huge upgrade but I was able to regear the high pinion dana 30 while I was still driving on the low pinion one and then just swap it in. It was my daily driver at the time so I couldn't afford to not be able to drive it while regearing. So to answer your question, the rear is the stock axle, just regeared to 4.88 and the front axle is out of a 99 XJ, again, regeared to 4.88

    Do you have issues with the 35s rubbing with the 4.5” lift when your off-road also do you think a stock Dana 35 can handle 35” tires with a Chrysler 8.25” in the rear. Thanks

    • @AdmiralOffRoad
      @AdmiralOffRoad  7 років тому +1

      I don't have rubbing issues, but I have also extended my bump stops quite a bit. As for the axles, I wouldn't worry about the chrysler 8.25. The dana 35 is a rear axle and I would not recommend running 35s on one. The Dana 30 which you have in front is probably close to the limit with 35s. There are some people who will say that they run 37s without issues and others will say that the dana 30 is only good to 33s. There are steps you can take to strengthen the axle to help it hold up, but if you plan on going bigger than 35 in tires, I would look for other options.

    • @diruelas
      @diruelas 7 років тому

      Thanks for your reply I actually meant to say the I’m running a dana 30 in the front sorry about that.

I’m getting some extended 2” daystar bump stops do you think I would need more bump stop than that on a 4.5” lift after trimming and cut and folding the rear quarters? Thanks

    • @AdmiralOffRoad
      @AdmiralOffRoad  7 років тому +1

      I ended up needing closer to 4 in of extended bump stops with the 35s. You can cut more and bump stop less, but I decided not to cut too much.

      I had that set up for a while and didn't have to trim with 31×10.50s on stock wheels. If you run wheels with different back spacing or wide enough tires, you might not be able to have them stay inside the fender and might have to trim a bit.

      Admiral Off-Road how are the wheels holding on? could you do a review video about them? I'm interested on those wheels, I really like the look and your videos are very informative.

    • @AdmiralOffRoad
      @AdmiralOffRoad  7 років тому +1

      Thanks, the wheels and tires have given me no issues. Love the tires off road. They're a little loud on the street and wear quicker than A/Ts but that is to be expected with mud tires.

    I have a lifted Rust free 04 Wrangler I put away for the winter Im looking to build a Cherokee for winter wheeling I have the same times on my TJ What i lift did you use and was there any other suspension parts you had to change to make the 35s work well

    • @AdmiralOffRoad
      @AdmiralOffRoad  7 років тому +1

      I have 4.5 in of lift that is made from a few different manufacturers parts. I have Rubicon Express coils and a combination of stock Xj and Chevy S10 leaf springs. In addition to new springs I needed a new track bar ( Rubicon Express), extended brake lines (Dodge Dakota rear, Jeep YJ front), longer shocks ( Rancho), extended bumpstops (I used hockey pucks), Leaf spring shackle relocation brackets (Rough country), longer shackles, and control arm drop brackets. These were necessary for the lift. I did not have to change anything suspension wise in order to make 35s work when I changed from 31s to 35s. I did, however re-gear the axles and am in the process of upgrading steering and going to long arms

    • @swandme686
      @swandme686 7 років тому

      Do you have the part numbers for any of this list and install video of any of them as well and last estimated cost for all the parts less the tires and wheels Thanks in advance

    • @AdmiralOffRoad
      @AdmiralOffRoad  7 років тому

      The parts will be different between the TJ and XJ . Unfortunately I did the lift before creating the channel so I don't have videos. I saved quite a bit by buying the drop brackets and track bar used and making a leaf spring pack out of used leaf springs instead of buying new. Going with another vehicle's stock brake lines is also sometimes cheaper than buying aftermarket extended brake lines for your vehicle.
