How do I know if my Jeep TJ is lifted?
A quick and accurate way to determine how much lift you have is to measure the springs. The stock springs are 12″ in the front and 8″ in the rear. Anything above those lengths is lift. Don’t include the depth of the coil isolator at the top of the spring.
Is the Jeep Wrangler YJ compatible with TJ wheels?
The YJ and TJ Wrangler are cross-compatible in terms of wheels, and so are the JK and JL Wrangler. If you’re upgrading from a JK Wrangler to a JL and already have a set of wheels that you love, there’s nothing stopping you from swapping them over.
How many horsepower does a Jeep Wrangler TJ have?
On average 4.0L Wrangler TJ engines registered 190 horsepower. While the DOHC 2.4L engine may have been cheaper, it couldn’t handle aftermarket upgrades to your suspension system or tires like a 4.0L could. Jeep also introduced the NSG 370 six-speed transmission in 2005. While faster, it had less torque than its predecessors.
How big of a tire can you put on a TJ Wrangler?
The YJ and TJ Wrangler generations came stock with 15 to 16-inch wheels. That means that you can easily go up to a 33-inch tire without modifying your suspension. Though 33 inches is likely the maximum, most off-roaders with a YJ or TJ Wrangler admit they prefer a 31-inch tire if they’re using the stock suspension set up.
Are there any problems with the Jeep TJ?

Is there a 2.5 engine in a Jeep Wrangler?
They are severely underpowered for the weight of the jeep. The 4.0 gets almost as good of milage and has the power to actually pass someone if need be. Also a 2.5 engine is hard to find and expensive….4.0’s are plentiful and half the price. I just bought a 4.0 TJ just to get away from the 2.5 nightmare. Mine has 143K and I hate it.
What’s the difference between the Jeep YJ and TJ?
Returning to Jeep’s CJ off-roading roots and incorporating the creature comforts of the YJ generation, the Jeep TJ seemed like the perfect combination of off-roading, sport, and family comfort. The towing capacity also increased by 300 lbs. over the YJ to 2500 lbs.
