Building a 1989 Jeep YJ.

We haven't had time to dig into it yet but we know it has the 4.0 inline 6 cylinder, auto transmission, and factory A/C. Here's what we're starting with...

We're not exactly sure where we're going with it but I'm thinking we want to fit 33s. Maybe a 2.5" suspension lift with 1.25" body lift so we can use softer springs. I'd also like to find a set of full doors; we already have a hard top (minus the back glass). Chrome has got to go but other than that, we won't know until we start going through it. If anyone has any pointers, I'd love to hear them!

Update time! A cross beam support was welded in with shock tabs and we've installed new leaf springs and shocks so the Jeep is now lifted about 3 inches! We also completely painted the frame with POR-15 so rust shouldn't be an issue ever again. Finished up the day by installing new body mounts and then lowered the body back onto the frame.
