OVERVIEW

tire/wheel recommendations
1997 marked the end of the YJ era and the start of another period of Jeep evolution. Jeep's tried and true leaf spring design was retired in favor of a four-link coil spring design. While Jeep purists initially scoffed at this break from tradition, the TJ's amazing offroad performance, and much improved on-road drivability, eventually won over most skeptics. Properly equipped, a TJ can be an enjoyable daily driver and a very competent off-road machine. This is no small accomplishment!
The TJ 4-link suspension design is much like that of the mid-size XJ series Wagoneer / Cherokee. These vehicles use a track bar to locate each axle left-to-right, and the four-link arms to locate the axles front-to-rear.

3" Black Diamond® Lift System
This system covers all the bases. Lift is achieved via replacement coil springs that are pre-set (fully compressed and stressed) during the manufacturing process to minimize settling. The system also includes front anti-sway bar quick-disconnects, longer rear anti-sway bar links, a rear track bar extension bracket, longer polyurethane compression travel-stops, and a transfer case lowering kit.
Options include front and rear adjustable track bars that allow more bind-free suspension articulation, plus the bars are rebuildable. Other options are 1", 2" and 3" body lifts, a steering stabilizer kit, and a choice of AT or XT shock absorbers.
New front / rear lift coil springs have factory spring rate and ride characteristics
New coil springs are fully compressed and stressed (preset) when manufactured to minimize settling
Front quick-disconnect anti-sway bar links offer increased offroad suspension articulation and wheel travel - Easy to disconnect and reconnect on the trail with no tools required
Longer polyurethane suspension compression travel-stops prevent component damage
The transfer case is lowered slightly to reduce driveline angles
Rear track bar relocation bracket corrects axle positioning, left-to-right, and improves handling characeristics
Longer rear anti-sway bar links maintain factorybar geometry
Allows the use of up to 33" diameter tires
Your choice of AT or XT shocks

6" Black Diamond® Lift System
Black Diamond's 6" system raises the performance standards for both on and offroad. New pre-set coil springs (fully compressed and stressed in the manufacturing process) provide lift while maintaining factory ride characteristics. Drop brackets relocate both the factory upper axle-to-frame links and the new Black Diamond lower links. These components help restore proper suspension geometry, steering alignment and driveline angles. New, rebuildable front / rear adjustable track bars center the axles side-to-side, improve on road handling characteristics, and increase offroad suspension travel. A dropped pitman arm reduces steering linkage angles. Front anti-sway bar quick-disconnects are included to increase offroad suspension articulation, while replacement rear anti-sway bar links prevent bar preload. Black Diamond's Slip-Yoke Eliminator Kit, offered separately, is required to relieve rear driveline angle. The 6" system is capable of clearing most 35" diameter tires on standard offset wheels, providing the Jeep is not excessively heavy.
