Default new toy

So i just got a new toy and it is a 1989 jeep cherokee 4x4 it is converted to leaf spring. with 6 inchs of lift maybe more im planing on some things to happen good with it. it is mainly going to be a mud bogger but i also want to be able to rock crawl while keeping the leaf spring set up. It will only be used as a trailor truck im 18 and starting to build my first project. id the any sugestens on what to do for cheep cost it going to be on 35" ground hawgs or bogger which ever comes first within my price range


Would like some feed back!!!!

Most leaf spring set ups are not very flexy and don't do well as a crawler but yours may be different. Pics would help a lot but in the meantime what axles are under it to support those huge tires?
