Hey guys I recently bought my first jeep, although they aren't brand new to me as my dad did own a '95 and is now working on a '77 CJ. I've been lurking here for a while, but am now coming forward, complete with pictures

1992 YJ
31" tires
I don't know enough to tell honestly if it is even lifted

Welcome to the site! Don't worry about your jeep not being lifted.....There are plenty of people here to help convince you to change that in due time.....

Yea, that's in great shape. Don't worry about the lift, learn to wheel without and you'll be that much better. Oh, and welcome aboard!

From the pics it appears that the shackles are longer than stock providing some lift.

Stock are 4" long, if you have 6" shackles you will get approx 1" of lift , 'cos you're only moving one end of the spring :yay:

And if you're going to put any kind of "wheeling" time on those extended shackles, either get some one to reweld the front shackle perches or change them out to Slickrocks. MAJOR failure point on YJ's (my Dachshund does better welding than DC did on the stock perches)

(Kentucky isn't that far, but the drive through Cincinnati can be a pain in the rear end). Maybe these people can point in you the right direction.

I don't know where in Ohio they go wheeling at because I didn't start wheeling until I moved to CA and met my husband. In that part of Ohio there isn't much unless you go to Eastern Ohio or going into Indiana or Kentucky. Sorry I couldn't be much help.

Wright State!! Had a few friends that went there. Go Raiders!!!
