you may have problems with only a 3.5 in lift with 35's even with truck axles. I have a 44 and 9 in with 410 gears that would work for ya if your interested they both have leaf perches on them as I was doing a leaf conversion on my xj but have decided to wait and just get me a buggy. 931-881-5016

thanks rock toy ill look into it ! well a little update moneys been tight and im out lookin for 35's for the jeep bc the tires are too small lol

But after doing heart surgery on the jeep after towing a car from alabama, it warped the head and caused the engine to overheat after i finished the trip.. but all is good she is running like a champ no probs so far just more goodies i installed a bow with two 15" subs i wasnt even lookiing for sound system but 25 bucks i couldnt pass up

Now im gettin a lift together to get ready for big tires its lookin like 4 inch frnt coil and 2inch spacers with a 3inch lift pack rear with drop shackels to give 6 inches all around i even got a sweet deal on a rear bumper too so all in time

When your going that tall you're gonna want to swap in a dropped pitman arm, a new trac bar (pref. adjustable), definitely gonna need a steering stabilizer, longer shocks, longer brake lines, something to cure the driveline angle & more stickers.
