I'm so cheap and sprapped for cash right now I would have trouble even spending the 800$. You have a nice rig...your at where I am at in height. My my next step is gonna be a 8.25 29 spline swap, two more inches and 33's. Your looking at brake lines, possible adj lca, uca, and adj tack bar if you dont have one already a nd longer shocks And then just hope a tcase drop is enough. Prob some stuff i missing, but can it be done for 800$? i think so.

If I did that, I wouldn't even do the extra 2 inches. Just trim a little more... It would save alot in the long run.

Looks like we're lookin at doing the same thing again

If I were you, I'd do that 8.8 swap, 4:10s, and locker in rear. I just picked up my 8.8 on Tues.

Swing arm tire carrier to free up some space in the back, and add tow points. Or put a front bumper on there with a winch. The JCR sale package is a pretty amazing deal

front aussie locker in the dana 30, and source out a cheap ford 8.8 and swap it in. you should have some cash left over to put towards 33's (you can easily fit em, and with some fender trimming you will have plenty of room for flex). thats what i'd do...(and what ive done)

Did you just leave your hood unlatched for the pictures or did you do something to keep it slightly open like that but still latched?

I just popped the hood to help let some of the hot air out. It is still latched, but just not all the way closed.
