    Hey guys new to the Jeep game I’m moving on from drag racing. I just purchased a 1985 CJ7 that is mostly stock except for a shackle lift and 35’s.

    This is the list of things I’m thinking of doing chime in if something is not possible.

    I’m wanting to put 40” tires with an appropriate lift ? It’s just going to be a beach cruiser bar hopper on concrete I’m thinking of upgrading the stock axels and changing the gearing for the tire size. Drum to disc for the rear. Motor and trans later I’m digging the 258 right now. So what’s the best lift for these and which is better under or over the axel, and how much lift for 40” tires.
    Sorry for all the questions in advance.
    Thanks Eddie.
