my new shackle angle... rides a lot better lol. further info/pics in my thread. (don't want to clog this up with my BS pics lol)
*stomper23, I would figure out what you want (long term) before upgrading axles/gears. they can get expensive and you will only want to do them once. 3.73's will be ok for a while in a DD. I wasn't bothered with my 3.55's until i went to 33's. and even now it really only bothers me passing or hills on the highway...

So, who all is doing the Jeep show at MMP? For those wondering if their Jeep can handle the course, I had some fun when I didn't chicken out on a couple spots.... Even if I did get stuck before I added my lift...
Just a little embarrassing getting tugged off by a Land Cruiser! That was their open house back in 2008.

4wheelparts, autozone, junkyard, discount tire. I run 35's and stock 3.73 gears. i wouldnt worry about upgrading until you go bigger tires, lift, etc.
if you want a 3" lift buy some 3"' coils for the front, then take the stock front ones and put them in the back that should raise you 3-3.5". stock control arms are fine for that size lift

nice man that helps out a lot. Just by looking at the of your jeep I can already tell my gears will do perfectly fine for me. Great looking jeeps, love your first!

It actually made a bigger difference then i thought it would, it started out with how to lift the rear an inch or little more to level it out without new leaf packs or a blocks. worked out very well.I got my bearings and everything for the rear. hoping it goes in tomorrow. and if my front drive-line gets back to me by Saturday night i might make the trip out there. but thats VERY unlikely.
