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.

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

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

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

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".
