Default finalizing the DD plans.. .thoughts

so i think i have finally put in stone the route im going with my 95. given the fact i like the stance my xj has with th BB and 31s, i want to keep it in the same stance. however, with aging leaf springs and a shot AAL in the rear a swap will be in order. so i figured for a jeep ill be daily driving to work (40 mile roud trip) and wheeling once a month maybe- ive decided on the following:

-2" OME HD kit (shocks, coils, springs, jks discos, steering stabilizer)
- currie adj lca's w/ johnny joints
- curris adj trackbar w/ johnny joint
- 245/75 bighorns on my polished moabs
- OEM tcase skid/gas tank skid
- engine skid (undecided on who to go with on this)
- hella fogs
- leigh throttle body/ magnaflow muffler (may ditch the fm 40)

im debating 2 other mods- one being a drop crossmember from rustys(if i need it). after seeing 01xj's post about gc seats, im thinking i may swap in a set of those as well. i also plan on doing some small mods like a headunit/speakers to ditch the factory stuff. may also make the doors removeable come spring/summer. what are your thoughts? i know its expensive- but i figure i buy a bunch of parts here and here it wont hurt so much

thanks for any input guys

Sounds like a pretty darn quality build plan, It'll be a very capable rig with those mods. The OME stuff is pricey but I've only ever heard that it was of great quality, with a nice smooth ride too! Good luck, and hopefully "here" and "there" won't be all that far apart for you!
