Your hiding your desire to go 35s eventually.
You remember my comment in your build, right...?
If you never plan on going above 33s..sure 4.56s would be perfect.
If you wanna run 35s in the foreseeable future, 488s.

 

Great to be back. I will try to do a once over on the front end/driveline this next week. Just moved, went on missions trip, been crazy busy at the church...

Will report any findings!

 

Grease the front end, make sure the track bar and LCA's are tight, and TRE's.

 

I'm about to regear again, and spend the money the wife doesn't need to know about because I didn't go 4.88 right off the bat. 35"s and 4.10s suck.

 

where do you guys run the wires for your lights on the roof?

 

I ran mine thru the Jeep up, up the hatch, inside the stock roof rack, and up to the lights... A hole and silicone is easier lol

 

I made that little plate up. I used to have a 6way trailer plug there for the roof rack. But with the cage and now only using two wires instead of six, I just put a grommet in and sealed the plate to the roof with silicone and ran the wires up the cage.

 

i like it, might run then down through the door jam and inside the door to the inside then through the firewall...thats gonna be a PITA

 

Mine are through the headliner, through the boot into the hatch, and out the 3rd brake light, that wag its not permanent, and if it leaks, it's only getting in the hatch, not the headliner.

 

through the hatch you say. hmm

 

I saw it in YouTube, and decided to imitate it. I still need to get some split loom before I hook up the lights, but the wires are already back there I just need to drill the hole put the wires through and hook them up. I'll make the joints inside the hatch too.

 

For my buddies XJ I drilled a hole through the hole there already for the bolts that hold the rack down ran them through that and under the headliner and down the dash. Didn't even put an silicone there and it hasn't leaked yet since the rails cover it.

 

well my stock roof rails are still on, thats what the rack is mounted too....

 

Yep I know and I'm going on your advice just wanted to put a couple feelers out there that's all

 

But in all seriousness. If your just sticking with 33s 456 will be right on...but for 35s 488.
