I just found this forum. Looked around and decided to take off my shoes and stay awhile. Anyhoo, names Joe. From Pittsburgh PA. I got a 96 Tracker, 91YJ, and a 84XJ
The Whacker is all stock for now. Bought it as a DD and I got a little intoxicated one night and wheeled it and liked it. So now I am hooked on this little thing.
The YJ, is nowhere near stock. SOA, D44s, Clocked Flat D300, Flat Skid, Rear Y-Link with Coils, Full Cage, etc...
The XJ is also not stock, HP44 Front, Ford 9in Rear, NP207 Doubler, Flat skids,
Where do I buy the coil spacers? Or can I use Jeep coil spacers? Also, anything special to doing a body lift to a Tracker? Or is it the same as doing one to a different vehicle. I wanna do a 2" body lift. I got some Poly spacers. I was gonna cut them to 2". Then I gotta drop the rad. And I am making bumpers so thats not a problem. What about the T-Case shifter? That need relocated for a 2" body lift? And last but not least. My Tracker is an Auto :( Do I need to do anything to the trans shifter?
Thanks

First off, Welcome aboard joe_and_jeep
If you can find the Jeep 2"inch spacers
Bore them out to fit the bump stops.
Or pick up a set of 1 1/2"inch spacer from Digger if he has any left.

If not
You can get some from Sky Manufacturing
http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/sidekick.htm
Or Wheeler's Off-Road some 3/4"inch spacers
http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/kickspacers.htm
Or just go for the GOLD and call Calmini ;D
and get the 6"inch Combo ;D
I have this on my 2dr and 4dr ;D
(I did swap out to OME struts and Rancho shocks and ditched the swaybar)
Don't worry about dropping the Rad, It's mounted to the frame not the body.
Or Do the Galvins Lift.

all the Info you'll need is right there.

The Track/Kick radiator is mounted to the frame,
so no radiator drop is needed :)

Thats cool about the rad, what else would I have to relocate for 2" BL? Its an Auto.
-
A slight extension on the T-case if you want,
or turn the shifter boot upside down
Here is my SideKick, 7" total lift, 33" Swampers
and I have an Auto Trans too

I've wheeled, built Jeeps for a little while now. I've built doublers, done axle swaps, built cages, lifts, etc... Havent had much experience with Trackers. With the IFS and rear suspension. I'm afraid of taking something too far and breaking it. Like the rear V link in the rear. I am used to having heim joints and calling them Tri-Links. I dont know how much abuse that thing will take. And how do I change the ball joint thingy on the v-link or do I need a whole new arm? One thing I noticed. I cant find Zuki parts very easily and have to ask some basic questions, but someone was looking for and couldn't find a Jeep part and as I read it I thought that was a super easy part to find. Couple posts down the guy found what he was looking for.
So as I learn my Zuk parts I am curious to see what will interchange with Jeep parts. Maybe keep some costs down.
So thanks to everyone that has helped or to anyone that will help in the future. Some pretty sweet rigs here.

Sweet rig. What are you doing for gearing? The autos have higher gears right? I was thinking about getting gears from a 5sp. But I dunno what other options there are.

There is an article here at Zukiworld that describes using a steel XL7 axle housing instead of the aluminum one. That should cut down on some of the breakage up front.
If you can't find it here, try looking for it through my FAQ (the link is in my signature). Do a search for xl7 and zukiworld. You'll also see a post about the Calmini Anvil in this search, which might be of interest to you.
Welcome to our world!

...any excuse to post that pic Wild. about time you got a new one isn't it? ;D

If you're going to wheel it and keep it IFS then keep your eyes out for a steel front diff from a 5spd V6 GV or XL-7 or a late '03 on auto.
