Hello all! Brand new to the forum here.
Long story short: I'm in high school and working on a 1982 Jeep J10 that has been a lawn decoration for about 20 years. Just got it running again and am looking into getting a lift for it.. the sag is just plain depressing. I hope to use it as a daily at least for a bit but also want the capability to do some off-roading every now and then. I should probably mention I do not have a bottomless wallet, hence the sub 1k lift kit options..
Currently trying to decide between a Rough Country 3" Spring Lift System and a Rusty's Off-Road 6" Lift Kit. Also considering a 2" body lift (more seriously if I go the 3" route) and tire choices.
Interested to hear opinions regarding different lift heights/tire combinations, somewhere around 33" or 35" depending on how much they would affect MPG and acceleration. Thanks for your time!
