So come May 1st the jeeps growing up quite a bit. I need some help trying to final it up so I know what more im going to need. Im aiming for 6" with 35's. Im going to have a guy in town build me my long arms. BOR 4.5" flexy pack with 1.5" teraflex shackle and a shackle relocation bracket. 5.5" RE coils and acos spacers. Tow woods drive shafts or a local shop that makes heavy duty ones. 4.56 gears, beafed up D30 with yukon shafts or alloy shafts, JCR one ton steering, RE SYE, and 35's MTR's with kevlar. What do you guys think of my set up that I want to run. Anything you guys want to add is more than welcome.

What's the rear axle?

Agreed - you need to make sure the rear can handle 35s. They are pushing the limits of an 8.25, and well beyond the limits of a D35.

Make sure you have some extra bracing on the steering box mount, preferrably on both sides of the frame rail. Will you be running radius arms or a 3 link or 4 link? If it will be radius, it should be pretty simple to build the arms, although it is hard on axle bushings. Make sure not tu run solid heims all the way around, as it needs to be able to flex. If running a 3 link, it is a different story, but your geometry needs to be awesome.

The rear will be a 8.25 for now. Im eather looking at a D44 or a 8.8.

Its going to be a Y 4 link just like RE or TNT's. Im planning on bracing the steering box on both side anyways because a bumper will go on soon after all this.

Those are actually radius arm kits, not 4 links. You want to count how many links to the frame threre are, although the track bar is sometimes not counted. So, stock, we have 5-links, although often called 4-link omitting the track bar. Radius arms are 2-link + track bar, as the two upper links connect to the lower arm and not the frame.

They do fine, though. As mentioned, you will likely go through bushings pretty quick. A 3-links + track bar typically have the least binding.

Ive thought about a 3 Link but I dont have that kind of Fab skills yet.
