P.S.
You wouldn't happen to have any 33 inch tires laying around would you? My tires on my jeep look like slicks.
welded trac bar= bad idea

no tires. 515-313-3700. good used tire guy in des moines

id say first 2 things is pickin out the size of tire you want to run and a rear locker or welded diff.

then when you have the size picked out next would be do you need a lift and how much of one? the bigger you go the more it will cost. dont forget bout fender trimming?
also with the tire size comes gears but you may not have to do them if your not buildn big. even with 31s & 33s i think they need lower gears.

the list goes on and on unless you build big all at once.
