lol i would love to drop the money but idk if i can talk my wife in to that with having a 5 month old

edit:

not sure if you all know what the edge trail jammer package is, so here it is

The Edge Trail Jammer package is a potent upgrade for your Jeep 4.0. To boost power, the Edge system comes with a performance module that plugs right into your stock harness and a new large bore billet throttle body. To let the engine breathe more efficiently a new free flowing air tube, air box and cone filter are also included. The install of all these parts can take less than 2 hours with a few simple tools.

Just get a Rough Country 3" lift and Dynamax exhaust and a errm ebay header and call it good. Dynamax catback cost around $150, $100 for cat, $100 for a head, $40 down tube, $500 for lift.. so all in all around $1000...and you can install it all yourself...

I vote for lift becuase it makes it easier to crawl under the vehicle to work on other stuff.

seriously, id look at a cheaper lift with the same amount of quality. i talked to dirk at dpgoffroad.com who supposedly has the cheapest prices on OME. WOW- thats all i can. at the end of the convo i was up to $1500+ for a 2" OME lift.. for $1500 i can get a RE 3.5" or 4.5" for that matter with everything i need and still have alittle coin to spare. unreal how much those lifts go for...

as for what to do first id prob go lift. my jeep came with a BB so i didnt have to worry much about lift- so i did the exhaust and stuff... only cause i needed a new manifold and cat.
