Diff covers would be my first purchase. I like my SOLID covers and lube lockers. LCA skids, better steering, raise shock mounts out back... If you start to wheel hardcore, chromos or at least full circle clip u joints, trusses can't hurt, but meh. Full case lockers while regearing, ZJ rear brakes.

 

If I regear from 3.55 to 4.11 how much gas mileage I'm I going to lose?

 

Depends on tire size. It would be putting you back closer to the stock power range on 31's.

 

How long is a piece of string?

 

I'll be running 32s or 33s on 4.11, will I gain or lose mpg?

 

Oh not this again -_-

 

Well he's right. You and the guy asking about "which exact combination of leaf springs should I use even though it's entirely circumstantial and unpredictable?" lol

 

Yeah.

 

how the hell do you guys get a tire on your roof on a lifted jeep?

 

When I had my XJ, I lifted it onto the hood, climbed up, and rolled it up the windshield. Same to take it down.

 

good god.

 

I can get my 31" on aluminum rim to about chest height before my nerdling arms give out, from there I just roll it up the hatch, turn it, and let it flop into the basket. XJ is lifted 3".

 

imma start looking for a good basket, just wanted to know if i had to hire a guy named "Tiny" to lift it for me...

 

Damn. I can pick up my 35 on a steel wheel to my chest to put it on my spare tire carrier, i mean its heavy as ****, but doable.

 

for the most part yeah
