So..what do you guys think.. Its about time to start building.
Regardless im going to have a 3 link upfront.
Trying to decide between 3 inches and 4.5" ...my fenders are already cut (fronts are cut way up high)..
if I go 3 inches ill for sure be running 33s. if I go to 4.5 I may still run 33s, unless I find 35s cheap. I will have stock gears for a while until I can afford a regear, zj steering, iro double sheer trac bar.
3 inches would save me some money from the SYE...

Thats true, thing is Im not sure which I want. 3 and 33s with a 3 link is a pretty mean setup.. 4.5 and 35s with a 3 link is a bit better even. But thing is I dont want to go to 4.5 and run 33s with whacked fenders cause I cant find a deal on 35s.

Or you can choose to go with a cheaper 3 inch lift so you can afford the 35s. but i dont see the point of that other then you would have a bigger jumpstart on saving for the 4.5 parts

Before I spent 470 on those..id go buy factory fenders and just trim them a little less, and have em professionally painted.

I than tried started it and the only way it would start was if I had it in neutral. As it was running if I pushed the clutch in just a little bit it would stall the motor. Well now to this day I checked things. At first it didn't have any spark at all so I put a new cam shaft sensor in it and now I have a little bit of spark but not very good. I have fuel at the fuel rail but i havnt checked the pressure yet. I was wondering if It would be the CPS or something to do with my clutch because my clutch pedal has no pressure now. I would appreciate it if someone would help me out. Thank you

Sounds like you need clutch fluid. It's leaked down and causing just enough drag on the engine to not let it start.
Put clutch fluid in it and try again.
If that doesn't work report back and I'll take another stab in the dark.

Then save your money a bit longer til you can afford what deals you have found for 35s. like Odgreen said. no need to do the job twice. if you go 3 inches. you are probly want to go higher withing a couple of months. Which means you will have to redo alot of what you already did for the 3 and a bit more.
Or you can choose to go with a cheaper 3 inch lift so you can afford the 35s. but i dont see the point of that other then you would have a bigger jumpstart on saving for the 4.5 parts

I will probably just splurge and go 4.5 with 33s or 35s depending on what I find locally. Im looking right around a grand for everything not including tires, which is not bad at all.. thats including the 3 link and new wheels.
