Not as much as SPOA though.
Longer shackles are required for lift springs. All depends how much lift the.springs give and how much longer than standard springs they are.

Any lift that moves the axle away from the chassis would need shocks and brake lines extending or dropping.

I can't answer that I'm afraid but I'm sure someone will be along.
Don't worry about asking too many questions. Keeps us busy

235/75r15 are the biggest you can fit with no lift, just need to do some trimming on the front bumper and bumper mount. Maybe some 30" at a push with more trimming and the bulkhead seam being flattened over.
Jordi it depends on the springs, most lift springs don't need to be ran with longer shackles, it's only the llama ones from what I've seen so far.

Im on llama springs Scottie without extended shackles. I'm probably ok as i extended the bump stops. All depends on the overall length of the spring when fully compressed.

Yeah twiss does need to extend his bumpstops before he kills his springs from over flexing them

Instead they would invert and stay inverted

lol they still dont overflex, i have the shackle bashing into the bumper as a warning
lets call it an audible bump stop haha
when it goes clunk, the wheel can go up another 2" before the spring flattens

Right guy i bought the sj, What do you think?
It looks like it might of had a little lift already?
It needs the front brakes sorting as one of them is binding but other than that all seems ok.
