Starting with a stock YJ
The following is how we installed the Moab 4x4 outpost (m4o) long arm lift kit on Larry’s 1993 YJ. The totally stock YJ was previously owned by an individual from the mountains of Colorado and it came complete with five studded snow tires. Mind you, this was July in the Moab desert and, as Larry found out later, steel studs don’t work worth a hoot on slick rock. Anyway, the previous owner decided to do some wheeling in the Moab area where he drove it through a rather deep stream on the Kane Creek trail. As fate would have it, the engine ingested a large amount of water and decided to divest itself of this water by blowing a couple of holes in the crankcase. Consequently, the owner decided to divest himself of the jeep. He then made Larry an offer that Larry couldn’t refuse. Thus, Larry ended up with an engineless jeep at a reasonable price. After Larry installed another engine we decided it was time for a suspension upgrade.
Here's the stock YJ flexed out to the max. Nothing to write Mama about.
This is Steve standing beside the YJ as it’s about to be lifted by the hoist so it can be lifted with the long arm kit. Does that make sense? Anyway, if you look closely you can see the steel studs on the spare tire.
