Jeep CJ7 5"+ Lift Kits for 1976-1986 Wrangler

Jeep CJ7 5"+ Lift Kits for 1976-1986 Wrangler are for builders who have already run a smaller lift and decided the ceiling was too low — five inches and up on the CJ7 opens up tire sizes that change what the platform is capable of on serious terrain. The CJ7 frame handles the geometry of a big lift differently than modern platforms, and the supporting modifications that go with it matter more here than they do on newer trucks.

 

A long-arm suspension is the right direction for CJ7 lifts at this height since short-arm geometry runs out of travel and introduces handling issues that compound as lift height increases. Full-width axle swap compatibility also improves at this lift height, and many owners building in this range are also doing axle work at the same time.
