Nice! I will let you know when I am set and we can plan it out from there. Also, I dont have all the appropriate tools I am sure. I will supply plenty off beer though.

yeah man i started out bone stock too



now i am here



just wish i had thought twice about having a shop install the lift. paid iron rock to do it cause i was pretty new to suspensions..but ive done all the other work on it and have had almost all of my suspension out again since the lift so im confident i could do it now if i had waited.

i saw it yesterday, it helped a lot. I am basically following what you did. Curious what you did with your splash guards?
any recommendations on a good lift kit? i know the "good" brands but what do you guys have?

I'll try to dig some up! but I bought mine lifted and with the SYE and locker already done. So pretty much the same besides more lift, trimmed fenders, roof rack with lights, diff covers, rock rails, disco's etc

My lift is a 3 inch skyjacker, sat at about 4 inches, then I added front spacers (one inch) and rear shackles (1.5 inch). How big are you thinking of going??

somewhere between 3 and 5 inches depending on cost. Was planing on spending 500-750 on the kit.

I reccommend going as big as you can before you need to get a slip yoke eliminator. That gets spendy. Usually your safe at 3 inches. maybe others can help with that height. I'd get full leaf packs in the rear. theres many kits out there!

i can out flex ya with my 3.5 RE super ride hahahahaha. jk buddy. SYE are not too bad in price if you know what to do for parts. Get a hack n tap kit and get brave with a cut off wheel and a 100 bucks worth of new parts and a cherokee front driveshaft and have a ball
